Abstract
Background There is no specific formal guidance on what prospective trainees must focus on to secure an anaesthetic training position in Australia, and there is little in the literature to advise both applicants and their mentors. Method This study aims to ascertain the views of anaesthetic clinicians from two Australian tertiary referral hospitals on what they consider most important for selection. A paper-based survey was conducted at both hospitals across three groups, totalling 104 participants with a 100% response rate. Results The characteristics most agreed upon to be of at least some importance were clinical anaesthetic knowledge (98%, 102/104), teaching (95%, 99/104), basic science and courses (94%, 98/104), other critical care experience (93%, 97/104), and anaesthetic experience for more than six months (92%, 96/104). Of these, anaesthetic experience of greater than six months, non-anaesthetic critical care experience, and the completion of relevant courses were felt to be most important. Furthermore, good referee reports (95%, 99/104), especially those that come from anaesthetists (75%, 78/104) as well as having previous experience working in the institution applied to (88%, 92/104) were also seen as important factors. 'Non-technical' skills (40%, 42/104) were also regarded as an important factor, with immense competition for a few training positions (45%, 47/104) as the greatest barrier. When it came to selection, prevocational trainees consistently ranked the majority of criteria higher than accredited trainees or specialists. Conclusion This staff survey in two Australian hospitals has shed light on factors considered critical in securing an anaesthetic training position. It underscores the significance of clinical anaesthetic knowledge, basic science proficiency, and relevant critical care experience.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To comprehensively synthesise evidence regarding the validity and reliability of the Anaesthetists' Non-Technical Skills (ANTS) behavioural marker system and its application as a tool for the training and assessment of non-technical skills to improve patient safety. DESIGN Systematic review. DATA SOURCES We employed a citation search strategy. The Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched for articles published from 2002 to May 2022. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA English-language publications that applied the ANTS system in a meaningful way, including its use to guide data collection, analysis and reporting. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Study screening, data extraction and quality assessment were performed by two independent reviewers. We appraised the quality of included studies using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklists. A framework analysis approach was used to summarise and synthesise the included articles. RESULTS 54 studies were identified. The ANTS system was applied across a wide variety of study objectives, settings and units of analysis. The methods used in these studies varied and included quantitative (n=42), mixed (n=8) and qualitative (n=4) approaches. Most studies (n=47) used the ANTS system to guide data collection. The most commonly reported reliability statistic was inter-rater reliability (n=35). Validity evidence was reported in 51 (94%) studies. The qualitative application outcomes of the ANTS system provided a reference for the analysis and generation of new theories across disciplines. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the ANTS system has been used in a wide range of studies. It is an effective tool for assessing non-technical skills. Investigating the methods by which the ANTS system can be evaluated and implemented for training within clinical environments is anticipated to significantly enhance ongoing enhancements in staff performance and patient safety.

Abstract
Although efficacy and safety of nonanesthesiologist administration of propofol and nurse-administered propofol sedation practices have been amply demonstrated in patients at low American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status risk, they are still severely limited. To date, it is quite difficult to find a protocol or a shared training program. The aim of the study was to verify requirements, types of training, and operating methods described in the literature for the administration of propofol by a nurse. A scoping review of the literature was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines and in line with Arksey and O'Malley's framework, within four main databases of biomedical interest: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science. We selected studies published during the last 20 years, including only nurses not trained in anesthesia. Seventeen articles were eligible. Despite the differences between the training and administration methods, efficacy and safety of deep sedation managed by trained nurses were comparable, just like when sedation was administered by certified registered nurse anesthetists. Training programs have been investigated in detail by only a small number of studies, although its efficacy and safety have been widely demonstrated. It is important, then, to collect evidence that allows developing of unified international guidelines for training methods to offer safe and cost-effective quality sedation.

Abstract
Simulation-based education is now recognised to be a valuable tool to impart both technical and non-technical skills to healthcare professionals of all levels. Simulation is an well accepted educational tool for cultivating teamwork skills among residents globally. Simulation-based education encompasses diverse modalities, ranging from task trainers and simulated patients to sophisticated high-fidelity patient simulators. Notably, anaesthesiologists globally were early advocates of integrating simulation into education, particularly to instruct anaesthesia residents about the intricacies of perioperative crisis resource management and collaborative interdisciplinary teamwork. Given the inherent high-risk nature of anaesthesia, where effective teamwork is pivotal to averting adverse patient outcomes, and also to improve overall outcome of the patient, simulation training becomes imperative. This narrative review delves into the contemporary landscape of simulation training in perioperative anaesthesia management, examining the pedagogical approaches, simulators, techniques and technologies employed to facilitate this training.

Abstract
Unlike traditional video games developed solely for entertainment purposes, game-based learning employs intentionally crafted approaches that seamlessly merge entertainment and educational content, resulting in captivating and effective learning encounters. These pedagogical methods include serious video games and gamification. Serious games are video games utilized as tools for acquiring crucial (serious) knowledge and skills. On the other hand, gamification requires integrating gaming elements (game mechanics) such as points, leaderboards, missions, levels, rewards, and more, into a context that may not be associated with video gaming activities. They can be dynamically (game dynamics) combined developing various strategic approaches. Operatively, gamification adopts simulation elements and leverages the interactive nature of gaming to teach players specific skills, convey knowledge, or address real-world issues. External incentives stimulate internal motivation. Therefore, these techniques place the learners in the central role, allowing them to actively construct knowledge through firsthand experiences.Anesthesia, pain medicine, and critical care demand a delicate interplay of technical competence and non-technical proficiencies. Gamification techniques can offer advantages to both domains. Game-based modalities provide a dynamic, interactive, and highly effective opportunity to learn, practice, and improve both technical and non-technical skills, enriching the overall proficiency of anesthesia professionals. These properties are crucial in a discipline where personal skills, human factors, and the influence of stressors significantly impact daily work activities. Furthermore, gamification can also be embraced for patient education to enhance comfort and compliance, particularly within pediatric settings (game-based distraction), and in pain medicine through stress management techniques. On these bases, the creation of effective gamification tools for anesthesiologists can present a formidable opportunity for users and developers.This narrative review comprehensively examines the intricate aspects of gamification and its potentially transformative influence on the fields of anesthesiology. It delves into theoretical frameworks, potential advantages in education and training, integration with artificial intelligence systems and immersive techniques, and also addresses the challenges that could arise within these contexts.

Abstract
Background Teamwork is a critical competency in high-risk settings like the operating room (OR). While conventional approaches focus on describing and learning from negative performance, there may be value in learning from high-performing behaviour, particularly in specialties where serious safety events are relatively rare. This study aimed to explore both the positive and negative use of non-technical skills by anesthesia practitioners in the OR and situate them within the clinical OR context. Methods This study employed a prospective observational design. Following research ethics approval, a sample of surgical cases in a tertiary hospital were recorded using the OR Black Box®. Data related to surgical phase timing, non-technical skills, team factors, and environmental factors were identified by analysts according to a modified Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety model. We performed descriptive statistics and qualitative description of these observations. Results We observed 25 surgical cases capturing 242 instances of positive non-technical skills among anesthesiologists in the operating room and 9 instances of negative demonstrations. Situational awareness was most frequently (n = 160) observed, followed by communication and teamwork skills (n = 82), and were most often demonstrated in the context of potential environmental distractions (e.g., doors opening, unnecessary interruptions). The least common category of positive non-technical skills observed was leadership (n = 3). Conclusions Our findings show anesthesiologists are doing a lot "right" and there may be many opportunities for learning from positive practice in the clinical setting. These findings can inform future work to better understand and standardize best practices for non-technical performance in anesthesia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The high incidence of unsafe anaesthetic care leads to adverse events and increases the burden on patient safety. An important reason for unsafe anaesthesia care is the lack of non-technical skills (NTS), which are defined as personal cognitive, social or interpersonal skills, among anaesthetists. The anaesthetists' NTS (ANTS) behavioural marker system has been widely used to evaluate and improve anaesthetists' behavioural performance to ensure patient safety. This protocol describes a planned systematic review aiming to determine the validity and reliability of the ANTS behavioural marker system and its application as a tool for the training and assessment of ANTS and for improving patient safety. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This systematic review follows the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocol. Studies that applied the ANTS behavioural marker system in a meaningful way, including using the ANTS behavioural marker system to guide data collection, analysis, coding, measurement, and/or reporting, which have been published in peer-reviewed journals, will be eligible. A citation search strategy will be employed. We will search Scopus and Web of Science for publications from 2002 to May 2022, which cite the three original ANTS behavioural marker system publications by Fletcher et al. We will also search the references of the relevant reviews for additional eligible studies. For each study, two authors will independently screen papers to determine eligibility and will extract the data. The quality of the included studies will be assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Checklists. A framework analysis approach that consists of five steps-familiarisation, identifying a thematic data extraction framework, indexing, charting, mapping and interpretation-will be used to synthesise and report the data. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethics approval is not required for this study. The findings will be disseminated primarily through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Non-technical skills (NTS) are fundamental to the nursing profession to ensure safe, quality care. Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a new instrument to assess NTS among nursing students: the Non-Technical Skills Student Evaluation (NTS-SE) tool. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted to test the psychometric properties of the tool. A number of 1,087 nursing students were enrolled from five Bachelor Schools of Nursing. RESULTS Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis suggested the suitability of a two-factor model. The final version of the NTS-SE consisted of 23 items distributed in two domains: cognitive skills and interpersonal skills. For each domain, Cronbach's alpha coefficients were above 0.94. There were significant differences in scores between second- and third-year students (p<0.001) and among the different nursing schools (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The NTS-SE can be useful when assessing the effect of educational strategies and/or clinical traineeship experiences on the acquisition of NTS.

Abstract
Anesthesiology is a subject with strong practicality and application. Undergraduate anesthesiology teaching needs to strike a balance between theoretical knowledge, clinical skill training, and clinical thinking development. Clinical probation and practice are an important part of undergraduate anesthesia teaching. Traditional clinical teaching uses real patients for demonstration and training, but as patients become more self-protective and less cooperative, there are not enough patients for clinical skill training. Simulation is to teach medical scenes in real life under the control of standardized technical guidelines and parameters. Since then, with the rapid development of computer technology, simulation technology and simulation teaching have been greatly developed and are more and more used in clinical teaching, skill evaluation, and scientific research. This study explores the effective methods of clinical teaching in anesthesiology by comparing the effectiveness of traditional teaching methods and simulation teaching methods in undergraduate clinical teaching. It is difficult to combine theory and practice in first aid, which does not allow them to directly receive and deal with emergency medical treatment and resuscitation. In China's current medical environment and patients' high demand for medical services, it is imperative to vigorously carry out simulated medical education. In the eastern part of Inner Mongolia, according to the advantages of teaching hospitals, our hospital took the lead in carrying out the simulation education project, which is still in the exploratory stage and not systematic enough. This study will help us to better carry out simulation teaching and improve the clinical skills of medical students in the future. Methods. The student group and class took the advanced simulator training as the experimental group, applied the advanced integrated simulator and other systems of the Norwegian company, referred to the international guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and cardiovascular first aid in 2005, and practiced in the emergency department during the clinical internship and “emergency clinical simulation training” course. The course includes basic life support, advanced life support, and comprehensive training of CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and endotracheal intubation. Results. The passing rate of simulated first aid practice was 94.4%; 100% of the students think it is necessary to set up the course, 91% of the students think it is practical, 91% of the students think the course content is reasonable and perfect, and 77%–100% of the students think the course has improved their first aid operation ability, comprehensive application of knowledge, and clinical thinking ability. Conclusion. Carrying out the course of “clinical simulated first aid training” through the advanced simulator system can effectively improve the interns' clinical first aid operation ability, teamwork ability, and self-confidence, improve the students' clinical thinking and judgment ability, and improve the service level to patients.
