Abstract
Simulation allows interactive transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) learning using a virtual three‑dimensional model
of the heart and may aid in the acquisition of the cognitive and technical skills needed to perform TTE. The ability
to link probe manipulation, cardiac anatomy, and echocardiographic images using a simulator has been shown
to be an effective model for training anesthesiology residents in transesophageal echocardiography. A proposed
alternative to real‑time reality patient‑based learning is simulation‑based training that allows anesthesiologists to
learn complex concepts and procedures, especially for specific structures such as aortic valve.
