Moreover, we wanted to know if Castilla y Leon hospitals had technology to do that and also if residents would spend any free time (out of working hours) in training with this technologies. To do that, we designed cross sectional study involving 46 residents of Anesthesia and Resuscitation of different hospitals in Castilla y Leon. 83% of survey respondents have used or use usually new technologies to acquire theoretical knowledge, meanwhile only 10% use them to acquire or improve practice clinical skills. All survey respondents would spend part of their free time in training with technology, out or their working hours.
