First Aid: Bleeding Control · Experience 04

Thigh VR Nursing Simulation

The virtual casualty presents with catastrophic arterial bleeding from the thigh. The learner has to control the bleeding using the technique appropriate for this region: immediate direct pressure, then a commercial tourniquet applied high and tight with the time recorded, and wound packing if a tourniquet is unavailable. 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: immediate direct pressure, then a commercial tourniquet applied high and tight with the time recorded, and wound packing if a tourniquet is unavailable.
  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.
