ANTHROPOMORPHIC DEVICE FOR MILITARY AND CIVILIAN EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT TRAINING

摘要

An anthropomorphic training device for training of military and civilians in emergency medical care is presented. Such training devices provide stimuli to cue emergency medical personnel to perform required treatments, and are able to withstand simulated field medical training conditions. The devices provide realistic simulation of wounds, human anatomy and phenomena associated with traumatic injury (e.g. bleeding) and to provide immediate stimulus feedback on the success of the medical procedures. The simulation also provides realism sufficient to induce emotional response in the trainee, so that emotional responses can be extinguished or reduced prior to treatment of an actual injured patient.
