Human Factors in the Design of Medical Simulation Tools

Utility of medical simulation in neurovascular critical care education

“…Before being exposed to real situations, the inclusion of these simulated spaces in neurocritical care offers the opportunity to learn how to communicate effectively with a team during an emergency, make quick decisions, correctly identify patients with critical neurological conditions, and implement appropriate treatment algorithms that help develop the reliability of the staff and their expertise in patient management [8,10,41]. Similarly, by incorporating simulations, the learner can experience failure and recognize the limits of their capacities, which results in the reduc-tion of errors and better care to the patient and their loved ones [6,42].…”

“…Beyond individual skill acquisition, simulations have proven to be effective at exploring and enhancing team-based and interprofessional performance. [3031]…”
