Assessing the Impact of a Red Trauma Simulation on Anesthesia Residents’ Confidence, Comfort, and Overnight Call Readiness

Authors: Wasserman R et al. Cureus, 2025; DOI: 10.7759/cureus.93102 SummaryThis study evaluated whether a high-acuity “Red Trauma” simulation could improve new anesthesia residents’ confidence, comfort, and readiness for independent overnight call. Thirteen CA-1 residents participated in a scenario involving a 25-year-old trauma patient with a positive FAST exam, worsening hemodynamics, and initiation of a massive […]
