I thought simulation was just a game, until it influenced international guidelines

From a training tool to a scientific research engine: a simulation study showed that life-saving maneuvers remain effective even with personal protective equipment. The results, published at the height of the pandemic, were cited in the international ILCOR guidelines, influencing cardiopulmonary resuscitation practices. This confirms that simulation is not just training, but a research laboratoryContinue reading "Home"
