Forestry students administer emergency care to classmate 瑞安Karroll and keep him calm while also calling medical services to their location.
MONT ALTO, Pa. — 宾州州立大学蒙阿尔托分校 林业 and 护理 students participated in a trauma-training event on April 29, giving them hands-on experience with emergency and rescue care.
The seventh annual trauma-training场景 started in 蒙特中音 State Park near the 宾州州立大学蒙阿尔托分校 campus on State Route 233. 受伤的伐木工i-Stan, 一个移动, 高保真人体模拟病人, was brought to the cover of the state park pavilion after a tree-harvesting accident caused a large wound on his right shoulder. 头部和颈部可能受伤, i-Stan, role-played by 林业 student Josh Hersl, 几乎失去了知觉, 在痛苦中呻吟，需要照顾.
As 林业 students rushed to help i-Stan, 第二个同学, 瑞安Karroll, took a tumble and severely injured his leg.
Forestry students administered emergency care to both i-Stan and Karroll, while also calling medical services to their location. As emergency medical technicians arrived, 林业 students assisted with placing the patients on stretchers and carrying them to ambulances, which delivered them to a mock emergency department on the 蒙特中音 campus.
The trauma exercise made 林业 student 多米尼克·兰兹 more aware of the possibility of getting hurt. “This event really puts it in perspective,” he said. “这随时都可能发生.它也带来了一些惊喜.
“We didn’t know Ryan was going to get hurt,伦齐说。, giving credibility to his classmate’s acting skills. “我们甚至不得不包扎他的膝盖.”
The injured 林业 students were delivered to a busy emergency room with 护理 students portraying patients and others providing care. Some also played upset family members of the patients, giving 护理 students practice in dealing with irate family members.
Nursing student Abigail Turner assisted with stabilizing i-Stan and preparing him to be airlifted to a medical facility.
“It is real life because we have no idea what these injuries are when the patients are coming in, so we have to act on our feet and put everything together as it comes in,”她说。.
培训结束, the whole group gathered in a classroom for a debriefing and to discuss what they had learned from the days’ events.
Although rain made it necessary for i-Stan to be set in a dry place, 而不是按计划在树林里, and poor visibility kept the Air Methods Maryland Life Net 81 helicopter from flying to campus to close the event, the training experience was invaluable to the students, 卡兰达·巴克多尔说, 宾州州立大学蒙阿尔托分校 Nursing program campus coordinator.
“This integrated hands-on simulation gave 护理 and 林业 students practice with their field first aid and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) skills. Nursing students strengthened their teamwork skills for receiving trauma patients and all participants gained experience in EMS (emergency medical services) collaboration and in working with local and federal government agencies. 这是美好的一天.”
