Description:













The EMAC course is an ANZCA licenced course held at the SDC and consists of five discrete modules. These are Airway, Anaesthetic Emergencies, Cardiovascular, Human Performance and Trauma. There are 12 participants in each course consisting of anaesthetic trainees and specialists. EMAC focuses on how a crisis is recognised and subsequently managed. Recent literature reviews recognise that it is the human factors or behavioural aspects of team leadership and team interaction within health care where the errors are made. EMAC focuses on the role of the anaesthetist as the leader of this team during an anaesthetic crisis and the interaction with the staff around the anaesthetist to use their skills and resources effectively. The EMAC course is accredited by the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists and is recognised as an alternative to EMST for vocational trainees.
