摘要：This article describes a high-fidelity (Hi-Fi) simulation-based innovative educational strategy intended to introduce anesthesiology residents to key ethical considerations and how they apply to their practice. Three Hi-Fi simulation scenarios involving situations with various ethical issues are described with their debriefing objectives and the trainees’ subjective feedback. Three high-fidelity simulation scenarios are described: (a) teaching critical incident disclosure, (b) disclosing and discussing patient awareness during general anesthesia, and (c) would physicians override a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order if the cause of a cardiac arrest is iatrogenic? We used Hi-Fi simulation in an innovative way to teach these principles of ethics. Simulation, through carefully crafted debriefing, can contribute to the acquisition of essential non-technical ethical skills. How best to integrate simulation in an existent ethics curriculum and how it compares with more traditional teaching methods are questions that need to be addressed..
