Simulation fosters safety, better medical care

From left, 2nd Lt. Stacy Thomas, 81st Inpatient Operations Squadron nurse; Capt. (Dr.) Anthony Cavalli, 81st Medical Operations Squadron; Staff Sgt. Isid Setosta, 81st IPTS aerospace medical journeyman; and Capt. (Dr.) Grant Gallimore participate in a sepsis scenario Aug. 26 at the skills center. Cavalli and Gallimore are first-year internal medicine residents. The sepsis scenario is a simulated situation that frequently presents in the clinical setting and is easily overlooked by providers who are inexperienced in diagnosing sometimes very subtle symptoms. A patient with sepsis, an overwhelming systemic infection, can rapidly deteriorate to coma or death from shock if unrecognized and untreated. The goal is to refamiliarize the students and nursing staff with the signs, symptoms and types of shock and contributing factors. (U.S. Air Force photo by Steve Pivnick)
