In 2006 26 first-year residents at St.Luke's International Hospital underwent training with a highly sophisticated simulator to learn how to treat patients with cardiopulmonary arrest or anaphylactic shock.We evaluated the effects of simulation training for first-year residents.
1) After training, we analyzed the residents' performance in the 2 scenarios and the residents' satisfaction with simulation training.
2) According to the resident's performance dataduring simulation training, first-year residents have sufficient skill to treat patients in cardiopulmonary arrest but not patients with anaphylactic shock.
3) Twenty-five of the 26 residents (96.2%) were highly satisfied with simulation training.
