Mega-code training: simulations for dealing with medical emergencies
Mega-code training refers to a type of training conducted in preparation for dealing with critical medical emergencies. The training focuses on developing skills to recognize, assess, and treat patients in emergency situations that often occur in hospitals or other medical settings.
During the training, medical simulations are conducted using actors or mannequins as patients to recreate realistic scenarios. Participants are challenged to respond quickly and effectively to meet the patient's needs and avoid potential complications. This also involves training in interdisciplinary aspects such as communication and collaboration between different medical professionals.
