Casualty Simulations: Coping with Carnage
It's no good having advanced airways skills or hemorrhage control techniques if you can't keep a level head. Trauma training provides realistic first aid training for uniformed services and individuals, offering effective shock management strategies. Being trained and capable around carnage and horror and keeping mentally strong in order to provide medical care is a life-saving skill. Medics, emergency staff and personnel with trauma training are invaluable in emergency situations and disaster zones, such as live fire situations, terrorist bombings and earthquake hit countries. As the attacks in New York, London and Moscow have shown, terrorism is a continued threat to civilians all over the world.
Real Amputees: Real Training
Using casualty simulation scenarios ensures our trauma training is as realistic as can be. Working in true-to-life conditions makes all the difference. When an individual without a leg says he was lucky that day because a first aider with trauma training was on the scene, that's what trauma training boils down to: ensuring the right people act in the right way at the right time.
