Soft tissue damage in the form of difficult-to-heal wounds is a common complication of frostbite of the distal parts of the body. Changes in the tissues impair microcirculation and disrupt regenerative processes.
The need for simulation in medical education is increasing, mainly because there are more students than available patients. Another reason is that patients often don’t allow students to examine them, which requires adding simulated training ses-sions. Simulation technology has advanced a lot, making it more realistic. These classes occur in a safe and controlled en-vironment, which can be repeated and include complex scenarios. Some research validates the use of simulated wounds, but it would be useful to study how this training improves real patient care, especially for Polish students.
