A new set of figurant cards have been developed. The cards can be used when conducting pre-hospital exercises using figurants acting injured. The cards can also be combined with an exercise using ETS magnetic patients.
The cards are available in a 50 and a 100 set.
In the sets is included:
- figurant cards (50 or 100)
- strings to the cards
- a lminated document with category description and sorting of patients/vategories
- CD with presentation of the figurant cards in PPT
The front side of the figurant card illustrates what the Medical staff see and hear on a distance before examining the patient.
The information on the front side is the same as on the front side of the magnetic ETS patient. Added on the figurant card is also a Picture of the visible injury.
On the card is also the patient outcome category stated in the lower right corner - as it is on the ETS patient symbol.
The back side of the card illustrates the information the Medical staff will find when examine the patient.
This information is the same as on the patient symbol. Added on the figurant card is a photo of the injury and an instruction for the figurant of how to act.
All the figurant cards are based on data in the Emergo Train System trauma bank and each figurant card corresponds to a magnetic patient symbol. This makes it possible to continue an exercise from a pre-hospital exercise using figurants, to an in-hospital setting using magnetic patients and whiteboards. Simply transfer the measures made on the figurant to the magnetic patient by adding stickers on the patient symbol. Patient outcome can then be evaluated all the way from incident site in to hospital.
