The Effective Management of Anesthetic Crises (EMAC) course is a joint initiative between the Australian and New Zealand College of Anesthetists (ANZCA) and simulation centers. This standardized 2.5-day course has become an integral component of training for Fellowship of ANZCA and as such is an innovative development on the global anesthesia scene.Since its inception in 2002, over 600 anesthetists, with equal numbers of specialists and trainees, have attended EMAC throughout Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong. Course evaluations from 499 anesthetists and a follow-up survey showed strong support for the course and its relevance to clinical practice. The course is perceived by participants as changing their practice and improving their management of anesthetic crises.Exposure to the concepts of effective crisis management is now widespread in the anesthetic community in the region and should contribute to improved patient safety.
麻醉危机有效管理（EMAC）课程是澳大利亚和新西兰麻醉师学院（ANZCA）与模拟中心的一项联合倡议。这个为期2.5天的标准化课程已成为ANZCA奖学金培训的一个组成部分，因此是全球麻醉领域的一项创新性发展。自2002年开办以来，澳大利亚、新西兰和香港共有600多名麻醉师参加了EMAC课程，其中专科医生和实习生人数相等。对499名麻醉师的课程评估及后续调查显示，他们对该课程及其与临床实践的相关性给予了大力支持。参与者认为该课程改变了他们的做法，提高了他们对麻醉危机的管理能力。目前，该地区麻醉界对有效危机管理概念的接触很普遍，这应该有助于提高患者安全。
