Abstract：Objective This study investigated the utilization and impact of anesthesia crisis management situational simulation teaching within the standardized training framework for resident physicians.Methods This study examined the use and effectiveness of crisis management situational simulation teaching in the standardized training of 58 resident physicians in the Department of Anesthesiology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Yangtze University.Participants were randomly allocated into two groups:a control group(n=29)that received traditional teaching methods,and a observation group(n=29)that underwent situational simulation teaching.The comparative analysis was centered on theoretical examination scores,clinical competence assessment scores,satisfaction levels with teaching quality and learning effectiveness,as well as satisfaction with the quality of the teaching curriculum.Results Following the teaching intervention,the observation group demonstrated significantly higher scores in both theoretical knowledge assessments and clinical competency assessments for eight anesthesia crisis events than the control group.The observation group also showed significant improvements in non-technical skills compared with the control group.The satisfaction rate regarding the quality of the teaching curriculum was significantly higher in the observation group(96.55%)than in the control group(51.72%).The above differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Conclusion The application of anesthesia crisis management situational simulation teaching in standardized residency training can significantly enhance the theoretical knowledge and clinical competency in anesthesia crisis management,as well as the satisfaction with teaching quality and learning outcomes.
