Have been a WFR for 17 years. Have been teaching WFA for 3 years.
I'm frustrated with the lack of instructor materials for scenarios so I'm turning to the world for assistance.
I plan on designing and printing 3"x5" scenario cards (slightly larger than a deck of cards) that cover:
- individual and partnered responders
- individual patient and mass casualty
- round robins (quick scenarios, 3-5 minutes to question patient and try to figure out what's wrong)
Card would have:
- Environment/conditions
- Patient found/presents as
- Patient S/s and vitals
- Patient Hx
- Actual
I'll add a comment with an example.
If you'd all give me your best/favorites in the comments, I'll work over this summer to get everything dialed.
Aside from the above, what else would you like to see on these cards? Feedback is always appreciated.
Round Robin scenarios:
-Environment: comfortable day, blue sky, local climbing crag
-Patient: at the bottom of a top rope, still tied in; belayer found you for help; patient was climbing, made a big move, and felt a *pop* + shoulder pain.
-Patient Hx: nothing pertinent
-S/s: AOx4, deformity and pain to the shoulder (pick a side), HR/RR normal, SCTM normal
-Hx: nothing pertinent
-Actual: anterior dislocation
-Environment: comfortable day, blue sky, local mountain biking area
-Patient: sitting against a tree at the bottom of a mountain bike jump; bike is nearby
-Patient Hx: nothing pertinent
-S/s: AOx2, no significant pain; HR/RR slightly elevated, pink/warm/moist
-Hx: smaller meal/hydration than typical, allergic to bees
-Actual: concussion protocol
-Environment: early evening, sitting around camp
-Patient: complaining of slight stomach pain, you've noticed they are leaving to go to the bathroom frequently
-Patient Hx: ate a suspicious breakfast burrito from a gas station yesterday
