The Sophus anaesthesia simulator v. 2.0

The Sophus group was founded in Denmark in 1992 with the aims of doing research into human error in anaesthesiology. Development of a simulation-environment was seen as one of the tools for research and training. This article describes the PC user interface of the SOPHUS anaesthesia simulator, SOPHUS v. 2.0 for Windows 95, and the script language, SASL v. 1.2. The script language provides possibilities of making scenarios, which develop in different directions according to the treatment of the patient by means of IF/THEN-statements, loops etc.
