1. Use of Simulators in training within resuscitation

Chairman Laerdal Medical and Laerdal Foundation for Acute Medicine

2. Why simulation? rare and difficult patients errors allowed
realistic preparation for
rare and difficult patients
errors allowed
no patients can be hurt
repetition possible

3. Simulation; an important tool for patient safety
“Use Simulations Whenever Possible
...Crew resource management techniques, combined with simulation, have substantially improved aviation safety and can
be modified for health care use.”
“Train in Teams Those Who Are Expected to Work in Teams
...health care organizations should establish team training programs for personnel in critical care areas (e.g. the emergency department, intensive care unit, operating room) using proven methods such as the crew resource management techniques employed in aviation, including simulation.”
