Abstract

evaluate the frequency of mistakes made without it and with its use.   Materials and methods. The study included 32 residents of the first year of study in the specialty «Anesthesiology and Resuscitation», who had previously held theoretical lectures on the topic: «Organization of the workplace of an anesthesiologist». In the simulation center, the subjects were asked to prepare the anesthesiologist’s workplace. The trainees were divided into two groups. The1st group – performing the task without prior acquaintance with the checklist and the 2nd group – acquaintance with the checklist. The assessment was carried out by two teachers independently of each other using a checklist modified for objective assessment of the subjects.   Results. In the 1st group, 8 (50 %) students coped with the task, in the 2nd group, in 15 cases (94 %), the task was successfully completed. Checking the availability of funds for tracheal intubation was successfully completed by trainees in both groups. At the same time, points were identified: a leak test and checking the correct functioning of the anesthetic-respiratory apparatus, which the subjects could not cope with, which required more detailed consideration, both in theoretical and practical classes of these issues.   Conclusion. The use of the checklist: «Organization of the workplace of an anesthesiologist» allows to increase the effectiveness of training of residents and reduce the number of mistakes made.
