AB  - Anesthesia simulations have been used in pre-clinical medical training for 
      decades to help learners gain confidence and expertise in an operating room 
      environment without danger to a live patient. The authors describe a veterinary 
      anesthesia simulation environment (VASE) with anesthesia scenarios developed to 
      provide a re-creation of a veterinarian's task environment while performing 
      anesthesia. The VASE uses advanced computer technology with simulator inputs 
      provided from standard monitoring equipment in common use during veterinary 
      anesthesia and a commercial canine training mannequin that allows intubation, 
      ventilation, and venous access. The simulation outputs are determined by a script 
      that outlines routine anesthesia scenarios and describes the consequences of 
      students' hands-on actions and interventions during preestablished anesthetic 
      tasks and critical incidents. Patients' monitored physiologic parameters may be 
      changed according to predetermined learner events and students' interventions to 
      provide immediate learner feedback and clinical realism. A total of 96 students 
      from the pre-clinical anesthesia course participated in the simulations and the 
      pre- and post-simulation surveys evaluating students' perspectives. Results of 
      the surveys and comparisons of overall categorical cumulative responses in the 
      pre- and post-simulation surveys indicated improvement in learners' perceived 
      preparedness and confidence as a result of the simulated anesthesia experience, 
      with significant improvement in the strongly agree, moderately agree, and agree 
      categories (p<.05 at a 95% CI). These results suggest that anesthesia simulations 
      in the VASE may complement traditional teaching methods through experiential 
      learning and may help foster classroom-to-clinic transference of knowledge and 
      skills without harm to an animal.
