title: [Medical simulation in hemodialysis].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Simulation is an innovative educational tool based on learning experience in a secure environment without fear of repercussions especially in critical situations such as in emergencies. It offers great prospects in the development of dialysis training.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report the results of an observational study comparing medical simulation to conventional training methods in the management of hemodialysis in emergency situations. We discuss afterwards the possibilities currently allowed by medical simulation in dialysis training.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The training was beneficial (significant difference between initial and final level of knowledge) for all participants. There was no significant difference between the conventional approach, simulation training and the two combined tools. However, satisfaction rate was higher in simulation training. We observed a tendency to have better results in "active players" of the simulation compared to observers.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We emphasize the importance of integrating medical simulation training in our dialysis training strategies as a complementary tool to classical teaching/learning methods.
