title: The Role of Simulation in Planning Intraoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Neurosurgical Procedures: A Case Report.
abstract: Simulation of the actual procedure is a simple and yet effective method of increasing patient safety and reducing the rate of unexpected adverse effects. We present our experience with 2 cases of preprocedural simulation on healthy volunteers that were performed in the intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging suite. During one of the cases, we also simulated a scenario of sudden cardiac arrest. Such an approach helped us to refine the procedures and coordinate the work of different teams within the intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging suite as well as improve the quality of patient management.
