Simulators are more and more widely used in different scientific areas. Through very sophisticated and realistic simulations, they actually permit to teach and demonstrate theoretical or practical notions. Besides, they allow to evaluate a particular performance. ⋯ Formative trainings, initially meant for anaesthetists and later on open to other medical categories as well, have been developed. Such courses aimed at establishing the proper interactions between different people with different tasks who are involved in the approach to an emergency rather than the management of the whole scenario. The main drawback of simulation is, however, the high costs required to set a simulation programme, especially as far as the human resources involved are concerned.
