A common challenge instructors face is delivering quality, hands-on exercises for students. By enabling students to demonstrate what they learned in a realistic way, practical experience is vital to applying the skills acquired in the classroom. Simulating these life-like situations has proven to be helpful to students not only as a way to perform skills more in-depth, but to instill confidence for when a real-life situation happens. SimRescue helps bridge the gap of realistic practice for vehicle extrication training by delivering a safe and effective solution. In this blog we will explore the SimRescue product features and the benefits of implementing it into training programs.

What is SimRescue The Auto Extrication System? 

SimRescue The Auto Extrication Training System was created to provide instructors a way to simulate realistic vehicle extrication for their students. Built with high quality steel and Lexan covering, the SimRescue is able to be separated into smaller sections, making it easier to fit through classroom doors and move to different simulation settings and locations. SimRescue is the first of its kind and the only auto extrication system on the market designed specifically for patient extrication. SimRescue’s long list of impressive features and realism-enhancing components enable students to realistically and safely practice patient removal scenarios. From basic seatbelt cutting simulations to lethal roll-over accidents, SimRescue™ provides instructors the tools to help shape future EMS professionals with confidence their skills will transpire in real-world settings. 

Why Educators Love SimRescue

The ability to simulate real-life calls right in the classroom makes SimRescue a key component of every training facility, giving both instructors and future EMS professionals the confidence to effectively and efficiently respond to an emergent motor vehicle accident. The need for vehicle extrication isn’t limited to only EMS, natural disasters occur every single day and can result in people being trapped in their vehicle. Fire Rescue and Disaster Relief programs having the proper training for instances like this could be the difference between life and death. What sets SimRescue apart from prior vehicle extrication simulation techniques is the element of realism it brings while also keeping students safe, making it a top choice among educators. Prior simulation techniques include using a table and chairs, as well as wrecked cars from salvage yards. While both of these work to apply the skills learned in the classroom, they both have major drawbacks. A table and chairs is not life-like and therefore won’t bring the same realistic principle for students when performing skills validations. In contrast, wrecked cars can endanger the lives of students due to broken glass, damaged/sharp parts and potential exposure to dried blood and/or bodily fluids from the crash. 

Key Takeaways 

SimRescueprovides hundreds of opportunities for realistic application of extrication skills without the safety risks associated with wrecked vehicles. From the ability to cut seatbelts and a full dashboard and airbags, SimRescue creates scenarios far more life-like than traditional training simulation techniques, while keeping students safe. Students are able to get the in-depth training they need on vehicle extrication with the implementation of SimRescue into their training programs. When it comes to motor vehicle accidents, every moment matters. SimRescue provides EMS professionals with the tools to feel confident when responding to a vehicle extrication call.
