MU School of Medicine holds simulation of ‘mass casualty event’ at Faurot Field for training
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The University of Missouri’s School of Medicine’s Emergency Department held a “simulated mass casualty event” at Faurot Field on Wednesday.
Emergency medicine resident physicians trained for six different scenarios, including cardiac arrest, a field stampede incident, a player spinal injury and more.
The students used several actors and mannequins--plus a mobile lab to simulate medical incidents on the field.
According to MU Health Care, the training event is to make sure their physicians are trained for multiple types of emergencies beyond the walls of the hospital--including during Mizzou football games.
