Neck VR Nursing Simulation
The virtual casualty presents with a lacerated neck wound with heavy bleeding. The learner has to control the bleeding using the technique appropriate for this region: firm direct pressure with the fingers, an occlusive dressing to prevent air embolism, no circumferential bandage, and airway monitoring. Blood loss and vital signs respond in real time to what the learner does.
Learning objectives
By the end of this experience the learner can:
- Assess a lacerated neck wound with heavy bleeding quickly and safely.
- Apply the correct bleeding-control technique for the neck.
- Recognise signs of shock and act on them.
- Hand over to emergency services with a clear account of the injury and the treatment given.
Procedure steps
- Check for danger, wear gloves and expose the wound.
- Apply the region-specific technique: firm direct pressure with the fingers, an occlusive dressing to prevent air embolism, no circumferential bandage, and airway monitoring.
- Monitor the casualty's colour, pulse and consciousness for shock.
- Keep the casualty warm and reassured and call emergency services.
- 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.
