Mastery Learning of Toxicology Life Support Skills by ICU & Emergency Toxicology Nurses using Simulation Technology in India

Simulation has been widely adopted as a training and assessment tool in nursing education on management of medical cases. Conventional teaching methods may be inadequate to adequately train healthcare providers for rare but potentially lethal events in Nursing such as managing Poisoning, associated polytrauma, Acute Brain stroke, Birthing process of a pregnant mother in labor, acute coronary syndrome and cardio-respiratory arrest due to poisoning or drug I I overdose. We have observed that Simulation based training, by enhancing provider skills, can subsequently decrease medical errors and increase patient safety.
