Background: Perfused cadavers are viable training models for operating room surgical skills, increasing fidelity of vascular anatomy, dissection, and tissue handling. In addition, perfused cadavers may have benefits in military medical training environments with a focus on hemorrhage control and vascular access.
Objectives: We created a large-scale training exercise with perfused cadavers in three different environments and aim to share the curricular design and feedback from the exercise.
Article Synopsis
- Medical emergencies can be stressful for early-career personnel, and traditional training methods often fail to simulate real-world pressures effectively.
- A working group of military emergency medicine physicians and technical experts developed four immersive virtual reality (IVR) training scenarios focused on high-mortality battlefield injuries.
- The IVR scenarios were well-received for their realism and potential utility in training, and the project serves as a template for future autonomous IVR training solutions.
Sulfur mustard has been used in conflicts for more than a century. Despite international recognized bans on the use of chemical weapons, there continue to be reports of their use. The authors provide a contemporary overview of sulfur mustard injury and its management in the acute, subacute, and chronic periods.
