We designed it to complement our traditional anesthesia simulation curriculum, in which residents are exposed to predefined "critical" scenarios. During typical scenarios, trainees are often given minimum preparatory information; they then start the scenario knowing only that "something bad" is going to happen. As a result, trainees often report anxiety, which can be a barrier to learning. To overcome this barrier and to augment traditional critical incident training, we developed the "Simulation Roulette" game.<h4>Methods</h4>"Simulation Roulette" consists of premade cards that are randoSimulation in healthcare : journal of the Society for Simulation in HealthcareThe "Simulation Roulette" game.PMC50381302 T32 GM008600T32 GM008600Taekman JFrederick HJHobbs GWCorvetto MAfalseThe "Simulation Roulette" game.<h4>Introduction</h4>"Simulation Roulette" is a new method of "on-the-fly" simulation scenario creation that incorporates a game-like approach to critical scenarios and emphasizes prescenario preparation.
