Problem-based learning for anesthesia resident operating room crisis management training.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Senior anesthesia residents must acquire competency in crisis management for operating room (OR) emergencies. We conducted problem based learning (PBL) OR emergency scenarios for anesthesia residents, focused on emergencies in 'Airway', 'Circulation', 'Central venous catheter', and 'Pain management complications'. Non-technical skills are an integral component of team-based OR emergency management.

Methods

Repeat administration of the self-confidence survey was completed immediately f
