Major Incident Medical Simulation

Overview
Objectives
Terms of use
Credits

During a major incident involving large numbers of casualties, the emergency services have to adapt their organization and take on new coordination roles.

In this simulation, you’ll be able to take on roles such as first crew on scene, ambulance commander, or medical commander. You’ll have to decide how to manage the event, so as to save as many victims as possible with the resources at your disposal.

Screenshots

Simulation allows you to develop skills in the following areas:

  • Announcing a major incident to the alarm center
  • Human resources management (paramedics, nurses, medical doctors)
  • Management of material resources (ambulances, helicopter, advanced medical post)
  • Evacuation of casualties to hospitals
  • Communication between key posts and alarm center

Institutions interested in the major incident medical management simulation are encouraged to contact us.

The development of this simulation is funded by the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) and Innosuisse.

Mass Casualties Triage

Overview
Objectives
Terms of use
Credits

During a mass casualty incident, the triage process enables healthcare providers to make the most effective use of limited medical resources.

In this simulation, you will have to triage a large numbers of casualties. Clinical observation and measurement will  guide your decision about priorities. As in real life, each decision take time, and victims’ conditions will evolve based on time and first aid provided.

Screenshots

In order to guarantee a rapid and quality triage, despite the stressful and uncertain context of major events, training is necessary.

The triage simulation allows for the development of the following skills:

  • Applying a triage algorithm
  • Selecting relevant clinical parameters
  • Deciding on necessary treatments during the triage process

Institutions interested in pre-triage simulation are encouraged to contact us.

The development of this simulation is funded by the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) and Innosuisse.

Emergency Room Triage

Overview
Objectives
Terms of use
Credits

In this serious game, you take the role of a triage nurse in an emergency room. You receive and examine patients successively in order to assign them an urgency degree according to the Swiss Emergency Triage Scale (SETS®). This is done by asking anamnesis questions and measuring vital parameters. Stressors of different types will complicate your work: interruptions such as phone calls, patients or relatives getting impatient, background noise of varying nature and intensity.

In the current version of the serious game, which is aimed at already trained specialists, traces of player activity are collected in order to answer research questions.

Later on, this serious game will also become a real training tool.

Institutions interested in this serious game are kindly requested to contact us.

A precondition for using this serious game is to be an institution that adheres to the Swiss Emergency Triage Scale (SETS®).

The development of this serious game was carried out in close collaboration with the “La Source” nursing school in Lausanne.
