Dr Hooper, ST8 Anaesthesia and ICM at University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire shows us how multidisciplinary simulation in airway management constitutes a remarkable step forward in enhancing patient safety.
Airway management is a crucial aspect of patient care, where effective and prompt actions can be life saving. The RCoA recognises the importance of continuous education and training to ensure healthcare professionals are well equipped to handle complex airway scenarios.
Multidisciplinary simulation has arisen as a valuable tool in this regard, offering an immersive and dynamic learning experience that fosters collaboration among different professionals involved in patient care.
Traditionally, training in airway management has often been siloed, with the focus on individual disciplines. However, real-life situations demand a coordinated effort from various healthcare professionals, including anaesthetists, operating department practitioners, nurses, physiotherapists, surgeons and theatre nurses. Therefore, conventional training styles may not adequately prepare individuals for the intricacies of interdisciplinary communication and cooperation.
