Acquisition and training in the analysis, recognition and management of the main acute situations under mechanical ventilation thanks to a simulation on a high-fidelity simulator in a realistic environment, according to the HAS recommendations in this area.

 

The configuration of a simulation day is the following :

After a time of presentation and pre-test, participants have the opportunity to experience high fidelity simulations respecting 3 times: briefing, simulation, debriefing.

 

A simulation training usually lasts for 1 day and can be combined with observation training and/or master classes, depending on your request and needs.
