Description
Trauma Training System 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a system and method for simulating one or more hemorrhages in order to provide a more dynamic and realistic hemorrhage simulation in order to train medical personnel and other critical care givers, such as first responders, medics, and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) on treating hemorrhages.
Il. Background of the Invention Trauma training systems, such as mannequins and other treatment simulation devices, are used to train individuals in a variety of medical situations.
These medical situations may span a wide range of simulations - from cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to emergency room situations. Because of this wide range of applications, the complexity of many of these devices is impacted by the simulations intended to be performed with the device.
One of the more common simulation devices is the basic mannequin. A basic mannequin may be either a partial or whole human body - depending on the intended use - that allows a user, typically a trainee, to interact with it. For example, a CPR
mannequin allows for chest compressions and assisted breathing but could not be used to simulate other medical situations.
At the other end of the trauma training device spectrum are much more complex devices that are typically mannequins that provide simulation capabilities for many different or more detailed simulations to be performed. These mannequins are typically controlled by preprogrammed software that allows a trainer to use a variety of optional simulations based on feedback from the users but requires extensive preparation prior to a simulation. These simulations provide an interactive "simulation tree" such that the simulation reacts to the choices made by the trainees.
Consequently, these complex treatment devices are not suited for large training situations, at least in part because of the need to train the trainers on how to use the entire system. In addition, as the complexity of these treatment devices increases, so does the fragility of the devices such that the devices are not well-suited for in-field training and the ability to have multiple units for a mass casualty situation is limited given the high cost of these systems.
Other training situations use humans acting as injured individuals in mass trauma simulations with cards telling them what their respective injuries are and what to do. A problem with these simulations is that the injuries are static such as a wound being liquid soaked clothes possibly with make-up with the actor providing additional feedback and information in response to the treatment received.
Notwithstanding the usefulness of the above-described methods, a need still exists for a trauma training system that provides dynamic and realistic bleeding simulation to at least one simulated wound site in order to replicate a live traumatic bleeding situation.
111. Summary of the Invention In at least one exemplary embodiment, the invention includes a trauma training system for replicating at least one hemorrhage, the system comprising: a collapsible reservoir capable of storing fluid, a pump in fluid- communication with the reservoir, at least one valve in fluid communication with the pump, a controller connected to the pump an enclosure housing said reservoir, said pump, said at least one value, and said controller, and the at least one valve, and at least one wound site detachably in fluid communication with the valve, wherein fluid is provided to the wound site to simulate a hemorrhage, In at least one exemplary embodiment, the invention includes a trauma training system comprising: a collapsible reservoir, a pump in fluid communication with the cavity of the reservoir, a valve connected to the pump, a controller connected to the pump and the valve, a housing containing the reservoir, the pump, and the valve, and at least one wound site detachably connected to the valve.
The invention in at least one embodiment provides an easy to use system with minimal training required prior to use while maintaining extreme flexibility for a simulation.

V. Detailed Description of the Drawings The present invention includes a trauma training system that simulates bleeding wounds such as hemorrhages. As illustrated in FIG. 1A, the invention includes a reservoir (a container or other fluid source) 110, a fluid flow controller 120 in communication with the reservoir 110, and at least one simulated wound site 102 in communication with the fluid flow controller 120. The reservoir 110 and the fluid flow controller 120 are illustrated as being housed in an enclosure (or container) such as an elastic bag (or pouch) that shrinks to fit around its contents. The enclosure 100 is capable of placement, for example, into a mannequin, a body suit, or a bag/backpack among other types of housings. The fluid supplied to the wound sites 102 replicates bleeding wounds and permits the system to be utilized in training individuals, such as medical care providers and first responders, in the treatment of traumatic injuries, particularly bleeding wounds.
The connection between the reservoir 110 and the fluid flow controller 120 can be accomplished in a variety of ways including having the fluid flow controller located within the container, for example, a submersible pump including being integrated into the cap of the reservoir (as illustrated by pump 122 of the fluid flow controller, for example, in FIG. 1 B); the fluid flow controller having a conduit inserted into the reservoir with the fluid flow controller attached to the connector; and the fluid flow controller connected to the reservoir with conduit. The connection between the fluid flow controller and the at least one wound site also can be accomplished in a variety of ways including having a conduit system between the fluid flow controller and the at least one wound system with some embodiments placing additional components in the
3
4 PCT/US2007/009922 conduit system, and the fluid flow controller attached to the at least one wound system to pump the fake blood right to the at least one wound system. In FIGs. 1A and 1C, the connection between these components is illustrated as a line that is representative of these different ways.
In some exemplary embodiments as illustrated in FIG. 1 C, the system further includes a remote controller 160 in communication with the fluid flow controller 120.
The remote control 160 signals a switch or adjustable controller within the fluid flow controller 120 and allows the simulation to be controlled extemally of the system by, for example, a trainer. The remote operation in at least one embodiment allows for additional control over the routing of fluid through the system including development of additional hemorrhage sites during the course of a particular simulation such as in response to restrictions (like toumiquets) on blood flow or general degradation of the patient over time.
Exemplary reservoirs 110 include flexible membranes and containers that are capable of holding fluid for dispensing through the system to simulate bleeding and that are collapsible as fluid is drawn out of the reservoir to keep the pump 120 primed.
In at least one embodiment, the reservoir 110 is housed within an elastic bag that constricts as fluid is drawn from the reservoir 110. In other embodiments, the reservoir 110 is an elastic container that sizes to fit the volume of fluid. Depending upon the implementation, the reservoir can range in size from several milliliters to 10 liters and higher depending upon the space that is allotted for the reservoir. Different embodiments as described below include body suits, bag enclosures, and backpacks for housing parts or all of the system and as such different levels of space will be available all of which collective are housings. The range of sizes will become more apparent in connection with the discussion of different exemplary embodiments below.
The reservoir 110 can be integrally formed within the enclosure that houses it. For example, in the mannequin, utility belt and backpack embodiments the reservoir can be formed as its own compartment within the interior of the mannequin or in the utility belt and the backpack. In contrast,' in a retrofit situation, the reservoir 110 is a separate component that is placed in the structure.
FIG. 1 D illustrates an exemplary simulated wound site(s) that may be located anywhere on the body, including extremities such as the arms, legs and feet.
FIG. 1 D, for example, illustrates simulated wound site 102 located on the top of the foot 108F.
FIG. 1D also illustrates an example of a stream of fake blood 1022 being dispensed from the simulated wound site 102. The location of the wound site 102 could be placed anywhere on a mannequin or a human and may be in multiple locations as appropriate, for example, to teach the need to carefully check a patient for multiple hemorrhage sites.
FIGs. 2A and 2B illustrate different exemplary embodiments for the fluid flow controller 120 being connected to a plurality of conduits each having a respective connector 158 for attaching to the wound site(s) 102 via conduit 150.
FIG. 2A illustrates an exemplary embodiment of the flow controller 120B having a power supply 130 and a controller 126 connected to a pump 122 and a valve such as a solenoid, pin, or needle valve.
The controller 126 may include a manually activated component such as, for example, a switch, button, or dial. The controller 126 may also be activated by a remote controller 160 illustrated, for example, in FIG. 1C. The variable adjustment of the power supplied to the pump 122 allows the fluid volume to be controlled to provide varying amounts of fake blood flow during a particular simulation. The adjustable power supplied to the pump 122 may be provided by a variable adjuster such as a rheostat. The power may also be adjustably supplied to provide a pulsating flow to the simulated wound site(s) that simulates pumped blood.
The embodiment as illustrated in FIG. 2A includes a manifold 128 connected to the output of the valve 124, which in at least one embodiment is omitted. The manifold 128 provides an output of fake blood to multiple flow lines such that artificial blood may be provided to various simulated would site(s) 102. Check valves 125 are provided between the manifold 128 and the simulated wound site(s) 102 in order to prevent fluid backflow when the direction of flow for the fake blood is up from the check valve 125.
In at least one embodiment, the check valves 125 are replaced with an adjustable valve such as solenoid, needle, and/or pin valves. Also illustrated are quick connectors 158, 159 (although other types of connectors can be used that includes a diaphragm or other rubber seal capable of resealing upon disconnection to prevent flow of fluid from the end) located in conduit 150 connecting the wound site(s) 102 to the fluid flow controller 120. The quick connectors 158, 159 allow quick and easy line connections to be able to connect different wound site(s) 102 depending upon the desired simulation.
The system allows for injured body parts or feeds to be connected to the hub, which acts as the hub for the system. The body part locations, for example, include a right arm, a right leg, a left leg, a left arm, and a head along with outer layers of the torso being able to be interchanged to provide a variety of wound site combinations.
In some exemplary embodiments as illustrated in FIG. 1 C, the system further includes a remote controller 160 in communication with the fluid flow controller 120.
The remote control 160 signals a switch or adjustable controller within the fluid flow controller 120 and allows the simulation to be controlled extemally of the system by, for example, a trainer. The remote operation in at least one embodiment allows for additional control over the routing of fluid through the system including development of additional hemorrhage sites during the course of a particular simulation such as in response to restrictions (like toumiquets) on blood flow or general degradation of the patient over time.
