̶ Student will become familiar with the rules of the simulations used
in First Aid practice.

Instructions for the students
̶ Always follow the prepared instructions in the simulation.
̶ Unless you get the information in the instructions or from the
lector, everything is how you (as the rescuer) see it.
̶ Do not ask the lector about anything during the simulation,
he/she just observes the simulation.

Example of the instructions
First Aid – Simulation rules7
Do not comment it, but do it
̶ If you want to do something in
the simulation, do not
comment it or explain it, but
do it practically.
̶ Exceptions:
̶ Emergency calls
̶ Chest compressions
̶ Using tourniquet
First Aid – Simulation rules8
Emergency calls
̶ The rescuer says:
̶ The lector or the student chosen by the lector communicates with the
rescuer as a dispatcher according to a prepared scenario.
„I want to call
155 / 112.”
First Aid – Simulation rules9
Chest compressions
̶ Never start chest
compressions on the
simulated patient. Do it
always only on the mannequin.
̶ If you want to start with CPR,
say it to the lector and he/she
will give you the mannequin.
First Aid – Simulation rules10
Tourniquet
̶ Choose the spot where you
want to apply the tourniquet
and demonstrate the
application, but never tighten
it.
̶ Explain the procedure of the
application.
First Aid – Simulation rules11
Material and requisites
̶ The lector will show you in the
beginning of each practice the
requisites and simulators that
will be used in the simulations.
̶ All the requisites used in the
simulations are safe. They
are intended for training.
First Aid – Simulation rules12
Safety and gentle manipulation with the SPs
̶ Always have in mind the
safety and the gentle
manipulation with the SPs.
First Aid – Simulation rules13
The beginning / The end of the simulation
̶ The simulation is always started and terminated by the lector
either when the time is up or when you complete certain
procedure or reach certain point in the scenario.
̶ Until then continue playing your roles in the simulation (both the
rescuer and the SP).
First Aid – Simulation rules14
Immersion in the simulation
̶ Always try to identify with your role as much as you can (as
the rescuer or as the SP).
̶ Read the instructions carefully and behave according to them.
̶ We will not use moulage during the practice.
First Aid – Simulation rules15
Fiction contract
̶ It is always not possible to prepare everything as it would be and
look like in the reality. We will try hard to be as real as it is in the
practice possible.
̶ In the role of the rescuer try your best to solve the simulation
as you would do in the real situation.
̶ We realize that sometimes it can happen in the simulation that we
have to behave differently than we would do in the reality.
First Aid – Simulation rules16
Mistakes are welcomed
̶ Simulations you will undergo in the practice are designed for your
training.
̶ Your performance in them will have no impact on the final
assessment in the subject First Aid.
̶ You will be assessed during the colloquium at the end of the
semester.
First Aid – Simulation rules17
Learning outcomes
̶ Student knows the rules of the simulations used in First Aid
practice.
