Spanish Society of Anesthesiology, Reanimation and Pain Therapy (SEDAR), Spanish Society of Emergency and Emergency Medicine (SEMES) and Spanish Society of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery (SEORL-CCC) Guideline for difficult airway management. Part I.

The Airway Management section of the Spanish Society of Anesthesiology, Resuscitation, and Pain Therapy (SEDAR), the Spanish Society of Emergency Medicine (SEMES), and the Spanish Society of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery (SEORL-CCC) present the Guide for the comprehensive management of difficult airway in adult patients. Its principles are focused on the human factors, cognitive processes for decision-making in critical situations, and optimization in the progression of strategies application to preserve adequate alveolar oxygenation in order to enhance safety and the quality of care. The document provides evidence-based recommendations, theoretical-educational tools, and implementation tools, mainly cognitive aids, applicable to airway management in the fields of anesthesiology, critical care, emergencies, and prehospital medicine.

Emergency crisis resource management: a simulation-based course developed by the Spanish Society of Emergency Medicine (SEMES) for health sciences students.

Objectives: Educational programs based on high-fidelity simulation training aim to promote students' acquisition of nontechnical competencies such as understanding crisis resource management (CRM). This study evaluated the efficacy of a CRM course for students in their last year of university studies in health sciences. The course was developed by the Spanish Society of Emergency Medicine (SEMES).

Ibero-American consensus on learning outcomes for the acquisition of competencies by medical students through clinical simulation.

Objective: Our aim was to reach expert consensus on specific learning outcomes (LOs) that can be achieved through clinical simulation aimed at developing the competencies that medical students need to be able to successfully manage patients and assume general clinical responsibilities.

Materials And Methods: The six-member scientific committee peer-reviewed Spanish reference documentation (in line with the Bologna Process) on required competencies in medical undergraduate students to select an initial set of 16 competencies that could feasibly be developed through simulation and a corresponding set of 75 LOs. Snowball sampling was used to identify candidates for an international panel of simulation experts.

Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of two crisis resource management scales.

Background: Simulation training programs in crisis resource management must be evaluated using valid and reliable instruments. We translated into Spanish and linguistically validate The Mayo High Performance Teamwork Scale (MHPTS) and Ottawa Crisis Resource Management Global Rating Scale (Ottawa GRS) non-technical skills assessment instruments.

Method: We performed a standardised cross-cultural adaptation process.
