SUMMARY:Using Virtual Simulation to Assess Situational Awareness in Anesth
 esia Emergencies
DESCRIPTION:Jacqueline Hannan (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center)\n\nSi
 tuational awareness (SA) is critical for safe anesthesia care, particularl
 y during intraoperative handoffs. This pilot study examined the use of a v
 irtual simulation platform for exploring SA among anesthesia professionals
  during a simulated intraoperative crisis. Twenty-four anesthesia clinicia
 ns completed an individual computer-based simulation involving patient han
 doff, deterioration, and recovery phases. Performance was evaluated using 
 predefined situational cues and open-ended written responses. Highly impor
 tant situational cues were identified significantly more frequently than m
 oderate- or low-importance cues (χ²F(2) = 20.67, p < 0.0001). No significa
 nt differences were observed by clinical role, experience, or gender. Qual
 itative analysis demonstrated evidence of higher-order SA processes, with 
 20 participants correctly identifying hemorrhage. These findings demonstra
 te the successful use of low-fidelity virtual simulation for standardized 
 measurement of cognitive processes.\n\n
