Enhancing Anesthesia Education and Clinical Practice: A Comprehensive Review of GASMAN Simulation Software

GASMAN software, a simulation tool for inhalational anesthetics’ pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, has become essential in both anesthesia education and clinical practice. This review explores its applications, highlighting its effectiveness in enhancing medical education and its impact on clinical anesthesia management. In educational settings, GASMAN software facilitates a deeper understanding of anesthetic pharmacology through interactive and visual simulations, thereby improving students’ learning outcomes and engagement. Clinically, it aids anesthesiologists in optimizing anesthetic dosing, enhancing patient safety, and supporting real-time decision-making during surgeries. Despite its advantages, GASMAN software faces limitations such as the absence of physiological feedback and the need for continuous data model updates. Future directions include technical enhancements, integration with advanced patient simulators, and broader dissemination through educational partnerships. This review emphasizes the significant contributions of GASMAN software to anesthesia education and clinical practice and suggests pathways for future improvements and wider adoption.
