Exciting Casualty Simulation Scenarios...
14
Any ideas for exciting casualty simulation scenarios, to test Army Cadets (aged 13-15) on their First Aid skills?
Here are my criteria:
I'm doing this all with several groups, so it would be great to think of something really good!
Here are my criteria:
1.
Moderately challenging, but requiring no advanced First Aid/Paramedic skills
2.
Fun!
3.
Two/three casualties involved
4.
Last about 15 minutes, not including brief/debrief (we could have one or two in this time)

Oooh, I loved doing these in the SCC, I was always really good at hem, although sometimes being the casuaty is more fun hehe. I was alllret go a dingthe cas m makeup, my speciality was open fracture with protruding bone 
One thing we often found, was be careful with bruising on the face, because a lot of people get it confused with cyanosis of the lips hehe.

Have you got any specific suggestions?

Have two to four casualties depending on the size of the group. If you can get hold of any makeup (fake blood, bandages, plastic limbs that show broken bones etc) that would make it a lot more "real". Assign one leader to the group and tell him to assign tasks to each of his group before they go in so they know what they're doing etc...
Put some props around as well, like a half empty bottle of "acid" or a fire extinguisher lying on it's side on the floor somewhere - that kind of thing! Tell the casualties to use dramatic license - one could be screaming in agony, one could be worried about another, while the third could be unconscious to start with then regain consciousness while he's being treated, and be confused/disorientated etc. That way you'll also be able to test them since the unconscious one is at the most risk, so the group leader should go to him, his "deputy" should go to the screaming one while one of the younger ones can go and calm the worried one.
I'm sure I can think of more if you want, I had to go through it all!

Thanks very much ashy.
I won't have any difficulty coordinating the scenario, or briefing/debriefing cadets, and we've got a brand new cas sim kit, so that should be fun! I like the idea of using props to make it more realistic as well, that's definitely got some potential. I'm tempted to scatter some broken glass, but I don't think I could justify that in a risk assessment. (I'm joking!
)
Have you got any specific ideas for the types of casualty? I'm expecting 6-12 cadets (attendance is unpredictable), and they'll be in a round-robin of First Aid -> Cas Sim -> Shooting, spending half an hour doing each. So at any time, there will be 2-3 casualties and 2-3 first aiders.

you'll want at least about a 2:1 ratio of cadets:casualties otherwise the ones that get stuck on their own with an amputee or whatever will just sit down and cry
If I had my little book here I could tell you those scenarios, wonder what I can remember! It's better if you can do it so that it's the kind of thing that actually would happen in a classroom/yard.
i.e. A girl was running, tripped and hit her head and is unconscious. Her best friend was with her at the time and she is now panicking that she's dead/going to die. There were no teachers around and she's been unconscious for 5 minutes and hasn't woken up. - That's good if there are only a few cadets as there are only two casualties.
Another idea would be that a guy was standing on a chair trying to open a window or something, but the chair slipped and he fell and broke his leg. He's all alone and there's no one to help. There's only one casualty in that
OR if you really want to be mean - there's been a fire. There's been a fire and one of the ceiling panels has fallen down (hard to get props, but you can just tell them that) One casualty can be unconscious due to smoke inhalation, another can have a broken limb where something fell on him, while another can have severe burns and be somewhat out of it. Lots of high risk casualties - best with a large group of cadets.

Not sure what equipment etc you'll have but if you could get a few resusi annies then you can have one or two limbless ones (amputees) and a fully body one. That way you can add CPR and amputations as well as human casualties.

Thanks for the suggestions!
Unfortunately I won't be able to get hold of any manikins, and not all cadets have been taught BLS under the new guidelines anyway.
Realistic scenarios are great, but unfortunately we need to stay inside so that slightly limits what we can do. Also since the cadets will be in uniform (camouflage), I'd quite like to do something vaguely fieldcraft-related. And I'll definitely try to incorporate stretcher improvisation and evacuation (let's see who remembers their cervical spine control!!)

You want to do fieldcraft inside?! That seems, silly

Precisely. That's why I'm slightly at a loss.
Last time I did something similar was about six months ago, where we had six casualties, all with diverse and exciting injuries, in the middle of a small wood "in enemy territory". The First Aid team were fully kitted out with rifles, webbing and radios, and received an 'emergency' call over the radio net which they needed to respond to. So we tested:
Radio handling and voice procedure
Navigation skills to find the casualties
Patrolling and tactical awareness
Scene management and security (triage, all-round defence etc)
Safe weapon handling (i.e. removing weapons from casualties)
First aid practices
Casualty evacuation
Fitness (carrying stretchers up hills!)
That was good fun!
Indoors, I'd still like to incorporate some military aspects if possible, but as you say it needs to be realistic at the same time.

well yeah clearly you can't do anything like that inside - you may have to ease off on the military aspect of it if you only get a classroom for half an hour

You could tie someones arm up so they're an amputee (bomb wound). Maybe a broken arm (run over). Or many gun shot wound? I can't really think of much. Just try and think of military type wounds like what could be faced on an exercise.

Nuclear disaster.
The victims will be ****ed anyway, so no advanced first aid will be necessary.
Fun - because nuclear fallout is pretty.
2/3 casualties involved... it was a small accident.
15 minutes, because the victims will have about 15 mins to live.
