First Aid: Bleeding Control · Experience 06

Ear VR Nursing Simulation

The virtual casualty presents with bleeding from the ear canal after a head injury. The learner has to control the bleeding using the technique appropriate for this region: no packing of the canal, a loose sterile dressing to absorb fluid, positioning the casualty on the injured side and assessing for skull-base fracture. Blood loss and vital signs respond in real time to what the learner does.

Procedure steps

  1. Check for danger, wear gloves and expose the wound.
  2. Apply the region-specific technique: no packing of the canal, a loose sterile dressing to absorb fluid, positioning the casualty on the injured side and assessing for skull-base fracture.
  3. Monitor the casualty's colour, pulse and consciousness for shock.
  4. Keep the casualty warm and reassured and call emergency services.
  5. Record the time of treatment and hand over.

Assessment

Time to effective bleeding control, correct technique for the region, shock recognition and handover quality are scored.

Equipment and setting

Standalone VR headset with hand controllers, full-scale virtual patient and equipment, instructor screen mirroring, Arabic and English interface, offline operation on the campus network.
