JAIPUR: Aiming to reduce mortality due to accidents, an
advanced skill development lab
along with a 16-bed trauma ICU has started functioning at
Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics
at Sawai Man Singh hospital.
“At the skill lab, we have more than 30 mannequins for teaching and education of doctors, paramedical staff and public at large,” said
Dr Sudhir Bhandari
, principal and controller,
SMS Medical College
.
The instructors at skill lab have been trained and they are now ready to provide training to the healthcare staff. “The skill lab has been designed in such a way that the healthcare staff will get a feeling of treating a
real patient
while getting trained on mannequins. They will be given a situation like if a patient is finding difficulty in breathing, how to handle it,” said Dr D S Meena, former medical superintendent, SMS hospital.
The lab and trauma ICU was designed taking lessons from country’s best centres. “Trauma ICU will be different from general ICU. It has been designed to provide all the facilities required for treatment. Even dialysis machines, availability of specialist doctors, sonography and x-ray will be made available,” said Dr Meena.
A sum of Rs 4.9 crore has been spent on the lab, while trauma ICU was developed at a cost of Rs 9.67crore.
At the trauma ICU, arrangement has been made to optimise the donor for cadaver organ donors. Two beds have been prepared with all the facilities required for optimising the donors, who have been declared brain dead.
