High-Fidelity Contrast Reaction Simulation Training: Performance Comparison of Faculty, Fellows, and Residents

High-fidelity simulation is an effective learning tool, allowing practice of “high-acuity” situation management in a nonthreatening environment; the simulation training resulted in significant improvement in test scores, as well as an increase in subjective comfort in management of reactions, across all levels of training. A six-month refresher course is suggested, to maintain knowledge and comfort level in contrast reaction management.
