Improving patient safety through simulation training in anesthesiology: where are we?

Green M, Tariq R, Green P. Anesthesiol Res Pract. 2016 Feb 1; [Epub ahead of print].

Simulation was initially applied to improve crisis management in anesthesia, and recently it has been used to assess and enhance both technical and teamwork skills. Summarizing the history of simulation training for safety improvement, this review describes the current gap in demonstrating a direct connection between the use of simulation and better patient outcomes.
