Developing a Simulation Training Tool from a Medical Protocol
Authors: Catherine M. Banks, John A. Sokolowski
Abstract
This paper discusses the multidisciplinary effort for the development of a web-based simulation training tool that incorporates a medical protocol of patient blood management for a surgical procedure. The significance of the type of simulation tool development lies in the fact that medical simulation is able to execute training in a multiplicity of modes, it can house large digital libraries for a breadth of experiences, and it can accommodate a repetition of exercises to reinforce learning. This simulation training tool is built upon engineering and mathematical modeling. The tool is populated with simulations are drawn from actual patient case studies. The targeted trainees (users) are skilled anesthesiologists and surgeons in need of an initial introduction to this medical protocol via an expedient means to train. The tool is developed for web-based access with continuous simulation capability and hands-on exercises.
