Simulation tools, trainers, systems and methods for trauma assessment and tourniquet training applications

摘要

Systems, methods and devices for trauma assessment and tourniquet, cricoids cartilage and tension pneumothorax training including use of modular arms, legs and torso parts, that each include self-contained simulators having realistic symptoms of bleeding, pulse rates, smells and the like so that students can be trained to both assess patient trauma and train students to control bleeding through tourniquets. Also the use of digital communication devices for presenting educational content and controlling the operations of the modular system parts for training purposes. Devices and methods of teaching cricothyrotomy techniques through reusable neck collars having segmented fluid filled chambers, adjustable trachea tools with moveable parts, as well as enhanced teaching and recording the teaching results from multiple students.

1. A modular simulation system for trauma assessment and tourniquet, cricoids cartilage and tension pneumothorax training, consisting essentially of:
a torso with detachable limbs each including sensors for detecting a simulated user activity and outputs to simulate an injury status in response to the user activity; a mechanical snap in place universal swivel joint consisting of a male component member insertable into a female component to attach each of the one or more limbs to the torso, the universal swivel joint located on an exterior surface of the torso and detachable limbs; a simulated exterior skin covering the torso and limbs leaving the universal swivel joint exposed; and two or more self-contained processor based controllers for executing instructions stored in memory and a power source, each processor connected within each of the torso and the detachable limbs for standalone simulator operation of each individual torso and each limb, each controller connected with the sensors and the outputs within the corresponding one of the torso and each limb.
