HUMAn, a Real-Time Evolutive Patient Model for Major Incident Simulation: Development and Validation Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Major incidents correspond to any situation where the location, number, severity, or type of casualties requires extraordinary resources. Major incident management must be efficient to save as many lives as possible. As any paramedic or emergency medical technician may unexpectedly have to respond to major incidents, regular training is mandatory. Those trainings usually include simulations. The vast majority of major incident simulations are limited by the fact that simulated patients do not evolve during the simulation, regardless of the time elapsed and treatment decisions. Therefore, most simulations fail to incorporate the critical temporal effect of decision-making.

Objective

This study aimed to develop and validate a simplified mathematical model of physiol
