Abstract

During previous outbreaks of contagious airborne disease, in situ simulation was successfully used to train staff, improve competency with personal protective equipment (PPE), and test protocols. Concurrent with our work, others leveraged simulation in the setting of COVID-19. [[2], [3], [4]] Our report is targeted at other simulation professionals, especially in anesthesia. We hypothesized that in the absence of clinical experience, immersive simulation of anticipated scenarios can improve protocols developed in round table discussions.
