TED: Lifelike simulations that make real-life surgery safer | Peter Weinstock

The video discusses the transformative potential of lifelike rehearsal in healthcare, particularly through medical simulation. It highlights the challenges of traditional medical training and the benefits of simulation, drawing parallels with other high-stakes industries like aviation and nuclear power. The video presents case studies, including congenital diaphragmatic hernia and hydrocephalus, to illustrate the application of simulation in surgery. Advanced techniques like 3D printing and Hollywood effects are used to create realistic training models, emphasizing the importance of team training and debriefing to improve patient outcomes.
