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.
