The NIH Medical Simulation Program (NIH-access only) recently added simulation-based health care training and research to its repertoire of innovative clinical and translational simulation trainings. 

Mabel Gómez, lead facilitator and educator, demonstrates how best to manage respiratory emergencies with one of six manikins used by the simulation team to train health care practitioners. The program is jointly supported and managed by the CC’s Office of Clinical Research Training and Medical Education and the Office of Nursing Professional Development.

The simulated patient name was “Emma Felton,” a 7-year-old girl with anaphylaxis and airway compromise. The technical name of the manikin model pictured is the Gaumard Pediatric HAL S2225.
