INTRODUCTION
The term ‘non-technical skills’ was first applied to safety by the European civil aviation regulator in relation to airline pilots’ behaviour on the flight deck but is now used by a number of professions .
Non-technical skills can be defined as ‘ the cognitive, social, and personal resource skills that complement technical skills, and contribute to safe and efficient task performance.
NTS typically include situation awareness, decision-making, team work, leadership, and the management of stress and fatigue.
Safety & efficiency in any field of work is not just limited to possession of thorough academic knowledge & skilful application of the technical skills, but it also encompasses the basic human behaviour & attitude of individuals during the course of performance of their duties.
Deficiencies in non-technical skills can increase the chances of error, which in turn can increase the chances of an adverse event.
Detailed investigations of adverse health care events have shown that in almost 80% of the cases the underlying cause is poor application of NTS like poor communication, inadequate monitoring, failures to cross-check drugs and equipment.
Good non-technical skills (e.g. vigilance, anticipation, clear communication, team coordination) can reduce the likelihood of error and consequently of accidents
Two categories of NTS have been recognized:
1. Cognitive & Mental skills which include planning, decision making, situation awareness etc.
2. Social & Interpersonal skills like coordinated team work, leadership, communication etc.
This lecture discusses the latest in EMS Best practices and industry technological innovations and is an updated version from the Best Practices in EMS presentation from 2009 OAMTA conference.

Microteaching is a unique model of practice teaching. It is a viable instrument for the. desired change in the teaching behavior or the behavior potential which, in specified types of real. classroom situations, tends to facilitate the achievement of specified types of objectives.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Simulation training in medicine and technology management
1. SIMULATION TRAINING IN MEDICINE
AND TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT
I. Shchaviy, A. Bashkov, D. Konkov
Ukrainian-Swiss Mother and Child Health Programme,
Ukraine
2. Why simulation?
• Simulation is valuable when „on-the-job‟ training
is expensive or risky
• Simulation has been adopted for training where
consequences of error expose many people to
risk or the cost of error is high, for example:
– Aerospace
– Military
– Nuclear power plants
Medicine: A High-Risk Industry
3. Risk Management Considerations -
Hazards in Medicine
“Most serious medical errors are committed by
competent, caring people doing what
other competent, caring people would do.”
-Donald M. Berwick, MD, MPP
• Not just about the people, it is about the
design:
• System, medical devices, procedures
• Human Factors: safeguard in the design “making it
difficult for people to do the wrong thing”
4. Advantages of Simulation
• Structured learning
• Guaranteed and scheduled
opportunities for teaching learning
– Uncommon situations can be presented
– Teacher can model process, give
feedback, repeat process, modify process
• Repetition as often as needed
5. Successful strategies for crisis
management:
• Use of written checklists to help prevent crises
Use of established procedures in responding to
crises
Training in decision making and resource co-
ordination
• Systematic practise in handling crises including
part-task trainers and full-mission realistic
simulation
6. Simulation technologies used in
medical education
• Computer-based simulations (micro-worlds,
micro-simulation)
• Virtual environments +/- haptics
• Part-task trainers
• Low-fidelity simulators/manikins
• Simulated or standardised patients
• Hybrid simulations
• High-fidelity (full mission) simulation
7. Technical infrastructure and technology
management – key factors
• Facility
• Manikins
• Multimedia equipment
• Hardware and software
• Human resources
• Medical equipment
• Good management
13. Resources
• Equipment
– Simulators, monitors, defibrillator, trolleys, etc
• Disposables
– Appropriate for scenario, setting and
participants, re-use w/o compromising fidelity
• Faculty
– Trained, available, practised
• Support staff
– Bio-medical technician essential! Also clerical.
14. Before and after simulations...
• Set-up scenario
– eg. make blood, set up OR, X-rays, etc
• Load up simulation program
• Check everything works
– Cameras, VCR, communicators
Afterwards...
• Check simulator
• Clean everything used and put away
• Replace/reorder all used items
19. High fidelity simulation
• Allow time for
familiarisation with
the simulator &
equipment
• Brief participants on:
– The scenario
– Educational objectives
– How to get help
20. High fidelity simulation
Always follow the script
but...
…have alternative
outcomes planned
and rehearsedSimulation control room
21. High fidelity simulation
Using simulation
situations can be re-run
to explore outcome with
different treatments
Mission critical tasks can
be performed by learners
without putting patients at
risk
22. The future of simulation...
• Skills training tool for all disciplines
– Acute care
– New techniques and/or equipment
– Managing complications
– Retraining
• Multi-disciplinary training
– inter-professional communication
– team performance
• Training in decision-making/resource co-
ordination
23. Conclusions
• A large majority of medical errors are
related to teamwork, communication and
technology management, elements that
can be improved though use of simulation.
• The adequate simulation technology can
be used to reduce different types of
errors and their contributing factors.
