Need for In-hospital Simulation-based Sedation Training Course：Significance of Interprofessional Training for Medical Safety Improvement

Abstract

Here we report on the application of educational technology to improve the simulation-based sedation training course（SEDTC）hosted by the Japanese Association for Medical Simulation and discuss the significance of interprofessional training for practical medical safety improvement. SEDTC consists of lecture, basic airway management, sedative and analgesic discussion, patient sedation depth evaluation, and scenario-based training. However, merely participating in the SEDTC can achieve level 1（reaction）or level 2（learning）in the Kirkpatrick model. Medical safety improvement of level 3（transfer）or level 4（result）in the Kirkpatrick model can be achieved when all members involved in sedation undergo experiential learning and achieve consensus. To achieve level 3 or 4 in the Kirkpatrick model, we added a questionnaire and discussion to determine which points require improvement, both for particular individuals and for the medical safety system.
