Simulation systems allow healthcare personnel to train their skills by replicating clinical scenarios very closely to reality. Their value as training tools in advanced techniques makes them one of the priority challenges for Precisaúde, with a view to two specific applications.
Firstly, the simulation of hemodynamic techniques for the treatment of cardiorespiratory arrest and massive internal bleeding, together with advanced simulators of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation technique. Cardiac and respiratory support for patients with severely damaged lungs and hearts is a delicate process in which the expertise of professionals is essential.
Secondly, the simulation of the treatment of chronic wounds is of special interest to improve the quality of life of the elderly, who are at greater risk of suffering from ulcers.
