Doctors for a Day
At the 2007 Turner Society Recognition Reception in April, four brave guests agreed to "scrub in" for a virtual anesthesia experience. Under the watchful eye (and barbed tongue) of Dr. Brian Ross, professor of anesthesiology, the four Turner Society members inject medications, track vital signs, and even insert a breathing tube — all using an astonishingly lifelike interactive mannequin. The guests make mistakes and have some good laughs along the way, but the dummy is in fact a very serious training tool, just one of many exciting new techniques pioneered by ISIS — UW Medicine’s Institute for Surgical and Interventional Simulation — to train health professionals and increase patient safety.
