Abstract
The Anesthesia and Simulation Center was built for education and training by using high-fidelity mannequin-based simulator (HPS) in April, 2007. The Anesthesia and Simulation Center is running as a cooperative facility of twelve affiliated hospitals by the Hyogo Prefectural Government.
We accept residents, nurses and doctors as trainees working at prefectural hospitals and waive the training fee for them, but residents, medical students and nurses working at hospitals other than the prefectural hospitals must pay the fee. We have adopted anesthesia crisis resource management (ACRM) as a major focus of their training.
It includes respiratory care, resuscitation and critical incidents during the perioperative period during a 3-day course for residents and a 1-day course for medical students.
We also describe in this paper the problems now facing the building of a new simulation center in Japan.
