AIMS: To report the experience with teaching of anesthesiology to medical students in a practical and interactive way, using simulators in clinical scenarios of anesthesia with predetermined tasks.EXPERIENCE REPORT: In the Medical School of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul simulated clinical settings are used in general anesthesia and anesthetic blockage teaching. Complete equipment and drugs specific to each simulation are available. Students have direct performance in the simulator to perform in the presented situations. For each conduct, choice of drugs and doses required, filming are performed with the purpose of fixing and improve knowledge.CONCLUSIONS: Medical teaching of anesthesiology with the use of simulators tends to be increasingly used, since it inserts the student in simulated situations close to the reality of the anesthetic process, in an interactive and attractive way without the real risk. Clinical situations of anesthesia or complications can be repeated until the fixation of knowledge and skills, before facing a situation with real patients.

Abstract Objectives To evaluate ESR eGUIDE—the European Society of Radiology (ESR) e-Learning tool for appropriate use of diagnostic imaging modalities—for learning purposes in different clinical scenarios. Methods This anonymized evaluation was performed after approval of ESR Education on Demand leadership. Forty clinical scenarios were developed in which at least one imaging modality was clinically most appropriate, and the scenarios were divided into sets 1 and 2. These sets were provided to medical students randomly assigned to group A or B to select the most appropriate imaging test for each scenario. Statistical comparisons were made within and across groups. Results Overall, 40 medical students participated, and 31 medical students (78%) answered both sets. The number of correctly chosen imaging methods per set in these 31 paired samples was significantly higher when answered with versus without use of ESR eGUIDE (13.7 ± 2.6 questions vs. 12.1 ± 3.2, p = 0.012). Among the students in group A, who first answered set 1 without ESR eGUIDE (11.1 ± 3.2), there was significant improvement when set 2 was answered with ESR eGUIDE (14.3 ± 2.5, p = 0.013). The number of correct answers in group B did not drop when set 2 was answered without ESR eGUIDE (12.4 ± 2.6) after having answered set 1 first with ESR eGUIDE (13.0 ± 2.7, p = 0.66). Conclusion The clinical decision support tool ESR eGUIDE is suitable for training medical students in choosing the best radiological imaging modality in typical scenarios, and its use in teaching radiology can thus be recommended. Key Points • ESR eGUIDE improved the number of appropriately selected imaging modalities among medical students. • This improvement was also seen in the group of students which first selected imaging tests without ESR eGUIDE. • In the student group which used ESR eGUIDE first, appropriate selection remained stable even without the teaching tool.

Medical students have difficulty understanding the mechanisms underlying hyperkalemia-mediated local control of blood flow. Such control mechanisms are crucial in the brain, kidney, and skeletal muscle vasculature. We aimed to identify medical students’ misconceptions via assessment of students’ in-class knowledge and, subsequently, improve future teaching of this concept. In-class polling was performed with the TurningPoint clicker response system ( n = 860) to gauge students’ understanding of three physiological concepts related to hyperkalemia: membrane potential ( Vm), conductance, and smooth muscle response. Vm includes the concepts of equilibrium potential ( Veq) for specific ions, as well as driving force (DF =  Vm − Veq). Students understood the concept of DF (~70% answered correctly), suggesting their understanding of Vm. However, students misunderstood that hyperkalemia results in depolarization (~52% answered correctly) and leads to an increase in potassium conductance (~31% answered correctly). Clarification of the type of smooth muscle as vascular increased the percentage of correct responses (~51 to 73%). The data indicate that students lacked knowledge of specific potassium conductance in various muscle types, resulting in divergent responses, such as the canonical depolarization in skeletal muscle versus hyperpolarization in smooth muscle cells during hyperkalemia. Misunderstanding of this crucial concept of conductance is directly related to the students’ performance. Furthermore, we connected the paradoxical effect of hyperkalemia to pathological acute and chronic hyperkalemia clinical scenarios.
