Simulation

SIMULATION


We are using echocardiography and airway simulator to teach anesthesiology residents transesophageal echocardiography views and lung isolation techniques during their cardiothoracic anesthesiology rotation.  We also created a transesophageal echocardiography elective website for senior anesthesiology residents.
