Simulation is an effective tool to learn or refresh skills and knowledge, but numerous barriers prevent the routine use of simulation. The purpose of this project was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the use of a low-tech simulation kit by the hospital's personnel for overcoming those barriers. A phenomenological qualitative approach using semistructured interviews was conducted with a convenience sample of 5 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) and a student registered nurse anesthetist at a rural community hospital. Additionally, a CRNA served as the facilitator and was interviewed. After the data were independently analyzed by 2 individuals, 6 themes emerged. A low-tech simulation was acceptable, although the sense of stress was difficult to replicate. The facilitator found that simulation preparation and execution were easier and less work than expected. A low-tech simulation kit is a viable option for increasing the frequency of simulating anesthesia emergencies and overcoming the barriers that prevent the frequent use of simulation in the clinical setting. Psychological fidelity can be enhanced through innovative methods (flip book containing screenshots of an electrocardiographic monitor, video) to overcome the limitations of a low-tech simulation. |
