Efficiency of Operating Room Simulation for Training Medical Students at King Saud University (EORMST-KSU)

Sponsor: King Saud Medical City

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of operating room (OR) simulation-based training in improving anesthesia skills and decision-making for medical students at King Saud University. Specifically, the study focuses on the integration of SimMan 3G technology and high-fidelity simulation scenarios within the MEDI045 Basic Anesthesia and Resuscitation course. By engaging in realistic, high-stress scenarios, the students will practice essential tasks such as airway management, anesthesia administration, and patient surveillance. The goal is to enhance students' technical skills, critical decision-making, and ability to adapt to dynamic clinical conditions. In addition to evaluating improvements in anesthesia competencies, the study also seeks to assess student satisfaction and confidence levels after completing the simulation-based training. The research will contribute to a better understanding of how simulation can bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in anesthesia education. Data collected will include quantitative measures of technical proficiency and decision-making effectiveness, along with qualitative feedback regarding students' experiences, perceptions of competency, and overall satisfaction with the revised curriculum. The findings will help refine medical education practices, with a focus on patient safety, effective communication, and teamwork within the OR. The study is being conducted at King Saud University and involves fourth-year medical students enrolled in the MEDI045 course.
