Abstract

Skill lab training plays an increasingly vital role in the residency programs of anaesthesiology, offering a controlled, hands-on learning environment where residents can enhance their technical proficiency, clinical judgment, and decision-making skills. This review highlights the value of simulation-based education in developing essential competencies such as airway management, regional anaesthesia, and crisis response in high-risk scenarios. By allowing residents to practice and refine techniques without jeopardizing patient safety, skill labs bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical application. Moreover, they provide opportunities for standardized training and immediate feedback, fostering continuous improvement. Integrating skill lab training into anaesthesiology residency programs has been shown to improve procedural confidence, reduce errors, and enhance patient outcomes. This article explores the effectiveness of skill lab training in accelerating skill acquisition, addressing training gaps, and preparing residents for real-world challenges in anaesthesia practice.
