Abstract

This proposal is to develop an adaptable and expandable simulation-based training system for teaching and training the soon-to-be-deployed medics in junctional and non-compressible hemorrhage control and other point of injury care trauma control scenarios using Combat Ready Clamp, Abdominal Aortic Tourniquet or similar devices. Training system will include: 1. A model of a torso mimicking anatomy of upper thighs, pelvic, abdominal, and thoracic/axillary segments of human body with major bones, muscles, aortic and venous vasculature, and simulated organs; 2. A programmable pulsatile/constant flow circulator that simulates arterial and venous bloodflow. 3. Monitored pressure/flow sensors embedded within vasculature to evaluate the efficiency of the applied hemorrhage control devices; and 4. A SCROM-compliant training course program that tests, evaluates, improves cognitive/psychomotor skills of trainees, and assesses the training effectiveness of the system. The training system will a) support acquisition of cognitive/psycho-motor skills required by field medics: b) minimize time and resource expenditures of training staff, improve quality and efficiency of cognitive/psychomotor training, c) reduce the cost of cognitive and psychomotor training, e) address virtual mentoring capability, reduce the time required by instructors and students, f) not generate any hazardous wastes from disposable elements, or require hazardous materials for storage/operation.
