15 August 2018

The following are a list of salient characteristics that trauma mannequins are required to have to meet the 336th Training Squadron’s needs:

Head /Ears/Eye features must include:

-Programmable/reactive eyes (blinking, pupil response, tearing).

-Realistic/Anatomically correct airway that facilitates basic and advanced airway procedures. To include nasal and oral techniques.

-Can be placed on a ventilator.

-Programmable airway/reactive airway that simulates edema and airway spasms.

-Airway, oral cavity can be suctioned/add fluid.

-Facial indications representing low oxygen/cyanosis

-CO2 monitoring/detection

Neck/Throat features:

-Facilitates surgical airway techniques (cricothyroidotomy).

-Programmable/Palpable pulse

Chest/Lungs:

-Audible, programmable lung sounds.

-Programmable chest rise and fall, to include ability to demonstrate unilateral rise and fall of each lung. (Physical signs of pneumothorax, shallow breathing, etc).-

-Accommodates needle thoracentesis with audible hiss or other physiologic response.

-Facilitates chest tube placement.

-Preprogrammed/programmable ECG/EKG

-Must be able to defibrillate

Abdomen:

-Programmable bowel sounds

Extremities:

-Must have 4 extremities (2 upper, 2 lower).

-Interchangeable extremities (Uninjured extremities/injured extremities) Upper extremities must facilitate IV access Lower extremities must facilitate intraosseous access.

-Extremities must have palpable pulses.

-At least one extremity facilitates Intramuscular Injections.

-Must be able to obtain a manual blood pressure from upper extremity.

-Injured extremities must provide simulated wounds that would facilitate the use of a junctional tourniquet or other junctional emergency treatment tool.

-Bleeding/Pressure sensitive wounds that are consistent with the use of

Various wounds:

-Gun Shot Wound

-Chest Wound

-Amputation (amputation must provide active bleeding, facilitate use of tourniquet, and be pressure sensitive.

Skin-

-Replaceable skin pieces (examples include replacement skins for arms, chest, abdomen, etc).

-Wireless/tether-less control platform (touch pad, notebook that allows operator to manually direct simulator behaviors to include breathing, pulse, verbal responses, lung sounds, and other behaviors) Ability to control simulator from at least 30 meters. (Allows operator to be out of site, observe from distance, etc).

-Imbedded and/or programmable scenarios/protocols relevant to current Tactical Combat Casualty Care, American Heart Basic and Advanced Life Support and basic/advanced Emergency Medical Protocols.

-CPR feedback (examples may include: indicates quality of CPR, compressions per minute, rate/depth, breaths given, etc).

-Biofeedback indicating blood loss (low blood pressure, vital sign changes, cardiac arrest, etc)

Other:

-AC power supply

Vital Signs must include preprogrammed/programmable:

-ECG

-CO2

-Pulse Ox

-Respiration

-Heart Rate

Training:

Must have operator training program available.
