Multidisciplinary High-Fidelity Simulation Training for the Management of Laryngospasm Following General and Local Anesthetic Procedures
This study suggests that a multidisciplinary high-fidelity simulation workshop can enhance confidence and perceived competence in managing laryngospasm across both local and general anesthetic scenarios. Although knowledge gains were not statistically significant, the training's greatest value lies in fostering non-technical skills such as communication, leadership, and teamwork, which underpin effective airway crisis management and patient safety. Future sessions incorporating larger cohorts, objective assessments, and anesthetist participation may further strengthen the educational and clinical impact of this multidisciplinary approach.
