Abstract: (40 Views)
Trauma is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, affecting over 5 million people annually. In this context, emergency departments serve as the first line of defense in managing trauma patients, requiring well-trained and competent personnel. Traditional medical education methods often fail to simulate the complex and high-stress conditions of emergency settings, which can lead to medical errors and a reduction in the quality of care. Given the increasing incidence of trauma resulting from traffic accidents, falls, and natural disasters, the need for innovative training methods, such as situational simulation, has become more evident than ever. This approach, as a cost-effective and efficient solution, can play a significant role in reducing trauma-related mortality and complications while dramatically improving the quality of emergency care.
