Abstract

The ABCDE method, used internationally to treat seriously ill patients, is a guideline for performing the complex skill of resuscitation that is commonly trained in face-to-face-courses. In the abcdeSIM game, used as a preparation for these courses, players treat patients in a virtual emergency department. We used the Four-Component Instructional Design theory (4C/ID) to redesign the existing game. In this chapter, we explain why the game was redesigned and how the components of this instructional design theory can be applied to designing a serious game for medical education.
