Why do we treat non-sterile practice tubing as a single-use consumable?

By focusing on the mechanical utility of the tubing rather than the clinical protocol of “one and done,” we’ve found a way to make our simulation budget stretch for semesters.

Huge shoutout to Emily at CU Anschutz for the inspiration. In my center, I’ve refined the process…

Duration of Debriefing

Hi all! As per my understanding on Debriefing, the general rule for Debriefing is to take at least the same amount of time, or double the time spent on simulation. However, I find it challenging, as I feel a good amount of time is needed for Debriefing, especially when learners are novices, as setting time limit is equally important in a…
