Chris Rizzo and Ryan Eling showcase 成人直播鈥檚 Clinical Simulation Program to Maine Athletic Trainers鈥 Association

Chris Rizzo, M.S., ATC, LAT, CSCS, associate clinical professor and clinical education coordinator in the Department of Athletic Training, and Ryan Eling, operations manager and clinical simulation specialist, presented the 成人直播 Clinical Simulation Program to an audience of 80 students and professional athletic trainers on March 15, 2013, at the 10th annual Maine Athletic Trainers鈥 Association (MATA) Luncheon and Educational Session in Bangor.

Rizzo served as the keynote speaker and presented the on-ice simulation exercise, 鈥淢anaging Traumatic Injury in Ice Hockey,鈥 which was performed last semester with 成人直播鈥檚 state-of-the-art human simulator, the Laerdal SimMan 3G (nicknamed "Gene").  Gene's 鈥渁ccident鈥 on the University鈥檚 ice rink resulted in the combined efforts of local physicians, Biddeford firefighters and EMS personnel, certified athletic trainers, and 成人直播 athletic training students to attend to a cervical spine injury.  The simulation exercise was supported by a grant that Rizzo received through MATA.

Eling introduced the audience members to Gene in order to give them an up-close and personal look a a fully life-like mannequin, which can accurately mirror human responses such as breathing, bleeding, blinking, and speaking.  Gene also responds to medical procedures such as CPR, administration of IV medication, intubation, ventilization, and catheterization.
