摘要Currently, no well accepted and clearly defined 'core' curriculum for undergraduate anaesthesia. teaching exists. To address this deficiency, we surveyed 73 university departments of anaesthesia and intensive care. Sixty-five replied from South-east Asia (12), Australasia (13), the UK and Ireland (28) and Canada (12). A questionnaire containing 37 items ranging from departmental structure to curriculum content was used. We found significant regional differences. Overall, most departments taught pharmacology of anaesthetic drugs (83%), pre-operative assessment (92%) and care of the unconscious patient (77%). Ninety-seven per cent taught airway management and intubation and 80% taught intravenous cannulation. Basic life support was taught by 97% and advanced life support by 71%. Fewer than half taught advanced trauma life support principles (44%). Critical care teaching was less well defined, but a consensus of schools taught respiratory failure and ventilation, management of circulatory shock and principles of sepsis and multi-organ system failure. Practical clinical skills were taught mainly using patients and simulators, 46% had a skills laboratory and six employed a resuscitation officer. However, it should be noted that we did not assess the quality and outcome of teaching.
