Simulation-based learning is increasingly used by healthcare professionals as a safe method to learn and practice non-technical skills, such as communication and leadership, required for effective crisis resource management (CRM). This systematic review was conducted to gain a better understanding of the impact of simulation-based CRM teaching on transfer of learning to the workplace and subsequent changes in patient outcomes. ⋯ Based on a small number of studies, this systematic review found that CRM skills learned at the simulation centre are transferred to clinical settings, and the acquired CRM skills may translate to improved patient outcomes, including a decrease in mortality.

Observational Study
A clinical tool to predict adverse behaviour in children at the induction of anesthesia.
To develop and validate a parent questionnaire to aid in predicting which children are likely to exhibit significant adverse behaviour at anesthetic induction. ⋯ Adverse behaviour at anesthesia induction is significantly predicted by our new parent questionnaire. Further refinement may improve predictive power beyond the observed medium effect size.

Case Reports
Reversal of a rocuronium-induced grade IV anaphylaxis via early injection of a large dose of sugammadex.
To report rapid recovery from grade IV rocuronium-induced anaphylaxis with a large dose of sugammadex administered early after the onset of symptoms. ⋯ Very early administration of a large dose of sugammadex may be an effective treatment for rocuronium-induced anaphylaxis.
