Abstract
Despite the progressive development and adoption of simulation-based training (SBT), the current practices do not match the ever-increasing international demand. This statement is especially applicable to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); a sophisticated life-saving technique that demands a highly-trained, multidisciplinary team. ECMO SBT mostly employs rudimentary and impractical techniques for simulation. Despite the availability of several simulators, the procedure remains highly costly to simulate and technical limitations impede scaled adoption and effective instruction. This paper proposes a novel modular approach to ECMO simulator design. By compartmentalizing the system into cost-effective, reusable, and extensible modules; physical fidelity can be achieved while keeping costs to a minimum.

In-situ simulation: A different approach to patient safety through immersive training
Hssain, Ismael; Alinier, Guillaume; Souaiby, Nagi (2013-08-15)Simulation is becoming more and more popular in the field of healthcare education. The main concern for some faculty is knowing how to organise simulation training sessions when there is no simulation centre as they are ... -
Development of a programme to facilitate interprofessional simulation-based training for final year undergraduate healthcare students
Alinier, Guillaume; Harwood, C.; Harwood, P.; Montague, S.; Huish, E.; Ruparelia, K. (Higher Education Academy / University of Hertfordshire, 2008)Introduction: Students have few opportunities to practise alongside students from other disciplines. Simulation offers an ideal context to provide them with concrete experience in a safe and controlled environment. This ...
