The Standard Examiner
OGDEN, Utah — A 37 year-old man was unconscious and bleeding. His heart raced and his blood pressure dropped. Emergency Medical Technicians worked hard to stabilize him.Then, the man stopped breathing.
Mike Storey and Tim Vega, of Roy fire and paramedics department, inserted a breathing tube and began pumping oxygen into the man’s lungs. After several chest compressions, the man’s eyes opened and he began moaning.
This trauma victim wasn’t real. Instead, it’s a wireless simulation mannequin called SimMan 3G. Four of the simulators were on hand at Ogden Regional Medical Center recently during its annual EMS education and appreciation day workshop. The goal was to further train emergency workers how to help people during a serious medical situation.
