Anesthesia residents perform resuscitation procedures for an 18-month old patient (SimBaby)
Simulation specialist (operator) controls the vital signs of patient manikin in the simulation control room while faculty members observe the resident's management through two-way mirror
Trauma team manages a patient manikin who has suffered massive injury after a motor vehicle accident
High-Fidelity Simulation
We have a wide variety of manikins that are able to perform functions such as breathing, talking, mimicking heart sounds and child-birth. These computerized manikins can present numerous clinical conditions and may also be programmed to respond to various medical interventions.
Examples of clinical High-Fidelity Simulation scenarios:
- Common clinical conditions: asthma exacerbation, hypovolemic shock in a trauma patient, septic shock, post-partum hemorrhage, etc.
- Rare clinical conditions: malignant hyperthermia, amniotic fluid embolism, etc.
- Unexpected challenges: intraoperative bronchospasm, unanticipated difficult intubation, etc.
High-Fidelity Simulation activity requires pre-planning to ensure smooth operation and high standard of quality. The planning stage is illustrated in the High-Fidelity Simulation planning flowchart 
. Therefore, we require all programs to book High-Fidelity Simulation activity a minimum of 4-6 weeks ahead of time.
