Design and Development of a Hemorrhagic Trauma Simulator for Lower Limbs: A Pilot Study

One of the main preventable leading causes of death after a trauma injury is the hemorrhagic shock. Therefore, it is extremely important to learn how to control hemorrhages. In this paper, a hemorrhagic trauma simulator for lower limb has been developed and a pilot study has been accomplished to tra...

description One of the main preventable leading causes of death after a trauma injury is the hemorrhagic shock. Therefore, it is extremely important to learn how to control hemorrhages. In this paper, a hemorrhagic trauma simulator for lower limb has been developed and a pilot study has been accomplished to trail the simulator. Four different bleeding scenarios have been tested per participant, gathering information about the manual pressure exerted to control the bleeding. Data, altogether, from 54 hemorrhagic scenarios managed by final year medical students and doctors were gathered. Additionally, a post-simulation questionnaire, related to the usability of the simulator, was completed. All the participants managed to control the simulated bleeding scenarios, but the pressure exerted to control the four different scenarios is different depending if the trainee is a student or a doctor, especially in deep venous hemorrhages. This research has highlighted the different approach to bleeding control treatment between medical students and doctors. Moreover, this pilot study demonstrated the need to deliver a more effective trauma treatment teaching for hemorrhagic lesions and that hemorrhagic trauma simulators can be used to train and evaluate different scenarios.
