Abstract

AIMS: To report the experience with teaching of anesthesiology to medical students in a practical and interactive way, using simulators in clinical scenarios of anesthesia with predetermined tasks.

EXPERIENCE REPORT: In the Medical School of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul simulated clinical settings are used in general anesthesia and anesthetic blockage teaching. Complete equipment and drugs specific to each simulation are available. Students have direct performance in the simulator to perform in the presented situations. For each conduct, choice of drugs and doses required, filming are performed with the purpose of fixing and improve knowledge.

CONCLUSIONS: Medical teaching of anesthesiology with the use of simulators tends to be increasingly used, since it inserts the student in simulated situations close to the reality of the anesthetic process, in an interactive and attractive way without the real risk. Clinical situations of anesthesia or complications can be repeated until the fixation of knowledge and skills, before facing a situation with real patients.
