title: [Simulation-based Perioperative Team Training in the Operating Room].
abstract: Here, we report the development of a simulation-based perioperative training course. Participants were anesthesiologists and operating room nurses. Three different courses were held with different themes, such as airway management, circulation management and central venous management. The courses included a lecture and simulation training with scenario-based discussions or a simulator. At the end of each course, participants discussed problems associated with medical safety in the context of each theme. Participants commented not only on changes in their views regarding individual technical or non-technical improvements, but also on general medical safety in the operating room. Our findings suggest that simulation-based perioperative team training may serve as a vehicle to promote operating room safety.
