Purpose: In 1922 in the United States, Edward Link presented his homemade flight simulator, which became common place in both military and civilian aviation, known as the "Link Trainer". Mter then simulators were also introduced in medical education as a tool to make advanced training standardized, less expensive, and without danger to those involved. Mannequin simulators used for medical simulation education, training, and research is developed, tracing the motivations, evolution to commercial availability, and efforts toward assessment of efficacy of those for teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for medical personnel and emergency medical technicians (EMT), cardiology skills,anesthesia clinical skills, and crisis management.
Subject and Methods: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of use of simulation on the education of hospital emergence system. We randomly divided 40 nurses into two groups, one had a debriefing and the other did not have a debriefing after simulation. We measured the score for three educational objects, evaluation of the patient (diagnosis), proper management of airway (airway), and proper cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Results: All the objects were improved after debriefing or no-debriefing but the group of debriefing was much highly improved than that of no-debriefing except CPR score.
Conclusion: From these results simulation education with debriefing may be a better method for the education of emergency system in hospital.
