Abstract
Abstract
This chapter provides five examples of structured oral examination questions (SOEs) on critical incidents along with model answers and references to help you increase your knowledge and depth of understanding. Critical incident management is considered an essential skill of an anaesthesiologist in any area of their practice. During the EDAIC Part II examination each candidate will invariably be assessed on this topic. The successful candidates have to convince the examiners that they can be relied upon to promptly take control of the situation, try preventing it from worsening while establishing the root cause/s and establish and implement a rescue plan to ensure the patient’s safety. This will not only involve theoretical knowledge recall, but a practical account of what exactly they would do. Where the sceanario is covered by a known Guideline or Algorithm (e.g. ERC Guidelines, ALS) these should be quoted appropriately.
