Workshop

Anaesthesia patient simulators are major advances in anaesthesia training. They allow anaesthesiologists to learn and practise in an environment, which is safe for both the anesthesiologist and the patient. Each registrant will be allocated 15 minutes to experience the excitement of a crisis one would never want to encounter in real life. Feedback will be provided at the end.
