“…It included capability to verify the patient and ECMO indication, to perform cannulation, to prime the ECMO circuit, and to initiate ECMO treatment (17,(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51). The above simulations were carried out in this scope and form for the first time in Poland and Europe, and they have become an excellent training tool allowing to create procedures that have not been carried out so far.…”

The implemented "ECMO for Greater Poland" program takes full advantage of the ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) perfusion therapy to promote health for 3.5 million inhabitants in the region. The predominant subjects of implementation are patients with hypothermia, with severe reversible respiratory failure (RRF), and treatment of other critical states leading to heart failure such as sudden cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock or acute intoxication. Finally, it promotes donation after circulatory death (DCD) strategy in selected organ donor cases. ECMO enables recovery of organs' function after unsuccessful lifesaving treatment. Because this organizational model is complex and expensive, we use advanced high-fidelity medical simulation to prepare for real-life implementation. During the first four months, we performed scenarios mimicking "ECMO for DCD," "ECMO for ECPR (extended cardiopulmonary resuscitation)," "ECMO for RRF" and "ECMO in hypothermia." It helped to create algorithms for aforementioned program arms. In the following months, three ECMO courses for five departments in Poznan (capitol city of Greater Poland) were organized and standardized operating procedures for road ECMO transportation within Medical Emergency System were created. Soon after simulation program, 38 procedures with ECMO perfusion therapy including five road transportations on ECMO were performed. The Maastricht category II DCD procedures were done four times on real patients and in two cases double successful kidney transplantations were carried out for the first time in Poland. ECMO was applied in two patients with hypothermia, nine adult patients with heart failure, and five with RRF, for the first time in the region. In the pediatric group, ECMO was applied in four patients with RRF and 14 with heart failure after cardiac surgery procedures. Additionally, one child was treated successfully following 200 km-long road transport on ECMO. We achieved good and promising results especially in VV ECMO therapy. Simulation-based training enabled us to build a successful procedural chain, and to eliminate errors at the stage of identification, notification, transportation, and providing ECMO perfusion therapy. We discovered the important role of medical simulation, not only to test the medical professional's skills, but also to promote ECMO therapy in patients with critical/life-threatening states. Moreover, it also resulted in increase of the potential organ pool from DCD in the Greater Poland region.

With the development of computer software technology and simulation technology, simulation training has been widely used. Helicopter training simulation has become an important part of helicopter training, and its status is becoming more and more important. On the one hand, the air mechanic is responsible for the maintenance and organization of the helicopter during the flight, and on the other hand is responsible for the starting and stopping of the helicopter engine, the operation of related equipment, and the handling of emergencies during the flight. The simulation training has the characteristics of high training efficiency, convenient maintenance and low training cost. It will become an important means for helicopter air mechanics to troubleshoot and deal with special situations. This paper aims to study the helicopter training simulator measurement and control system based on computer software technology. Based on the analysis of the advantages of the simulator instead of the actual installation for training, the helicopter training simulator function and the simulator subsystem, the actual installation simulation instrument and signal are designed. The indicator light, the graphic instrument and the control signal are arranged in the circuit, and then the simulation experiment is carried out on the design. The experimental results show that the design can more accurately simulate the indication of the antenna elevation angle table, which meets the requirements of this article.
