ABSTRACT: The teaching of a complex content such as the managing of a Cardio-Respi-ratory Arrest should not be executed on real patients by means of assisted practice, for there is an elevated risk of unfavorable outcome. Based on that, the simulation is anexcellent teaching strategy to that end.Methods: Methodological studies, descriptive, of quantitative approach for the design and validation of a realistic Clinical Simulations Scenario performing two steps, namely: 1) designing a clinical simulation scenario, and 2) validation of the clinical simulation scenario’s content by judges.Results: A scenario was designed and validated for the teaching and improvement of the CRA management in patients during a hemodialysis session.Conclusion: The study succeeded in designing and validating the content of a Clinical Simulation Scenario with teaching or improvement purposes, for students from the health academic field, on managing a CRA in specific situations, which demand proper knowledge for action, on a CRA case, during hemodialysis session. This study contributes to the improvement of teaching and assisting students from the health academic field, for presenting a Clinical Simulation Scenario with its content validated: for being of simple implementation to teachers and facilitators; for taking the most actual and reliable scientific evidences into account; as well as for enabling its adaptation and usage in other contexts, since it has a script of how the design and validation wereconceived, favoring the spreading of the scientific knowledge in this scope.
