Abstract
Simulation training is useful to become familiar with new technology, to practice behaviours and strategies, to acquire routines for specific scenarios, and to reflect on one’s behaviour. Processes that have to function almost automatically (e.g., resuscitation) have to be practised repeatedly until they can be reliably executed even under stress or fatigue. Simulators offer the opportunity to acquire these skills without endangering the patient. Various types of simulators (from pig liver to premature baby simulator) are already being used extensively for this purpose. Significant advantages of this learning environment include the freedom from risk in the event of errors, the repeatability of procedures, the possibility of varying conditions, and the possibility of practising processes with different complexities. Simulators are used in a variety of settings, providing valuable training in non-technical skills and creating awareness of other aspects of human factors. In addition, working with simulators through targeted testing of technology and work processes can help to structure work in hospitals more closely based on human factors.
