Medflight of Ohio has purchased the Meti Emergency Care Stimulator training mannequin. This emergency care simulator will provide the opportunity for advanced training in Trauma and Critical care patient care. The METI Emergency Care Simulator represents the latest simulation technology for training clinicians at all levels of medical education. Sophisticated mathematical models of human physiology and pharmacology automatically determines the patients’ response to user actions and interventions. With dynamic coupling of the cardiovascular, pulmonary and pharmacological models along with the physical embodiment of the mannequin, the ECS allows for the complete characterization of an adult patient.
Initially the ECS will be used to train in house medical crews on cutting edge technology. The future plan is to have the virtual lab open to outside EMS and other agencies. The plan is to incorporate multiple modules on training in the virtual lab. Once the lab is up and operational brochures will be sent out to EMS agencies to schedule times and training opportunities available.
