Laszlo Hetzman discusses cost effective high fidelity simulation training for performance in pre-hospital and hospital critical care. One the great benefits of simulation training is the diversity of training it provides for all levels of experience. Based on his own hugely positive experiences of simulation, Laszlo was compelled to implement effective simulation in his country. The trouble was budget constraints. However, with a little bit of lateral thinking, Laszlo will show you that low budget does not necessarily mean low fidelity. Laszlo discusses the three areas of fidelity that are needed to have a successful simulation. These are equipment, environmental and psychological fidelity. Life like equipment, life like environment and a strong fiction contract. The later referring to the agreement that is held between all participants and trainers that the plastic mannikin they are working on is a real-life dying patient that they must help. Laszlo divulges seven tips and tricks he has developed to make tra
