Description
This module introduces the ABCDE-system, specific to severe burns treatment. This method is meant to investigate in a systematic way if an acute sick or injured patient has got endangered or disturbed vital functions that need immediate intervention.
The abcdeSIM module includes 3 items:
- E-learning: here we go through all the parts of the ABCDE step by step.
- Knowledge test: After this module you get a knowledge test. After you have achieved a sufficient score on the knowledge test, you get access to the ABCDE simulation game (the icon will then become visible).
- AbcdeSIM game: Here you must pass both scenarios with a sufficient result. You can always return to the game to regularly practice your ABCDE skills in the virtual EMERGENCY ROOM of abcdeSIM.
General information:
