Computer and web-enabled simulations for anesthesiology training and credentialing

摘要

Although mannequin patient simulator-based training and credentialing has received extensive favorable attention during the last decade, some critics have argued that the expense and the logistics of participating in such exercises may limit the recommendation of widespread mandatory use of this technology. The ubiquitous availability of personal computers and the World Wide Web makes computer and web-enabled simulation an alternative technology that may address some of these criticisms. In this article, the history, technology, application, and future use of computer and web-enabled simulation for anesthesiology training and credentialing is discussed.
