    The "Simulation Roulette" Game
    (LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2011) Frederick, Heather J.; Corvetto, Marcia A.; Hobbs, Gene W.; Taekman, Jeffrey
    Introduction: "Simulation Roulette" is a new method of "on-the-fly" simulation scenario creation that incorporates a game-like approach to critical scenarios and emphasizes prescenario preparation. We designed it to complement our traditional anesthesia simulation curriculum, in which residents are exposed to predefined "critical" scenarios. During typical scenarios, trainees are often given minimum preparatory information; they then start the scenario knowing only that "something bad" is going to happen. As a result, trainees often report anxiety, which can be a barrier to learning. To overcome this barrier and to augment traditional critical incident training, we developed the "Simulation Roulette" game.
