    Special Operations Medics highly value human-patient simulators (HPSs) that align with Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training. Realistic features for critical procedures like cricothyroidotomy are essential for effective medical education.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education Technology
    • Simulation-based Training
    • Military Medicine

    Background:

    • Human-patient simulators (HPSs) offer realistic training environments for medical education.
    • Manikin HPS devices simulate physiological responses and common field medical interventions.
    • This study assesses Special Operations Medics' evaluations of HPS features.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey Special Operations Medics regarding their evaluations of human-patient simulator (HPS) features.
    • To identify which HPS features are most valued by Special Operations Medics.
    • To guide future development and procurement of HPS devices for military medical training.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was administered to 376 Special Operations Medics who completed testing.

  • 102 variables across general characteristics, procedures, and injuries were assessed on a five-point Likert scale.
  • Statistical analysis included the Student t test to compare data groups.

    • Main Results:

    • HPS features aligning with Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) curriculum, basic life support, and realism received high scores (>4.5/5).
    • Valued skills included those difficult to practice, such as cricothyroidotomy and wound packing.
    • Features like automated movements, skin color, and prerecorded sounds received lower ratings.

    Conclusions:

    • Special Operations Medics express high confidence in manikin HPS devices that support TCCC training and lifesaving procedures.
    • The study highlights the importance of realistic simulation for critical, infrequently performed medical interventions.
    • Findings can inform the design and selection of HPS devices to optimize military medical training outcomes.
