When Training Breathes Back: SIEHS’s Interactive Simulation at PIMEC 2025

You notice it first in the chest — a quiet rise, a gentle fall. On the monitor, a heart-rate number ticks steadily, and a fine ECG line moves across the screen. For a moment, you forget this is a training tool. Then the scenario shifts — vitals dip, breathing changes — and the room leans in.

That’s the power of the SIEHS Gaumard Mannequin at PIMEC: training so realistic, it feels alive. The goal is simple — make learning instinctive, so emergency response becomes second nature.

What “Interactive” Really Means

The main simulation unit doesn’t just look human — it acts human. It breathes, showing visible chest movement with every inhale. Its heart rate and ECG trace are displayed live, turning invisible signs into visible lessons.

The mannequin moves through different clinical states, allowing trainees to see how numbers and physical cues change as a “patient’s” condition evolves.

Note: The advanced unit is primarily for display. Selected officials may be invited for short, guided interactions.

Hands-On, Where It Counts

Right beside the Gaumard unit is the Infant Choking Mannequin — open for everyone to try. Visitors can practice life-saving steps: recognizing choking, performing back blows, and chest thrusts.

SIEHS trainers will guide you until the sequence feels natural and confident.
Across the aisle, another full-body mannequin lets visitors explore simulation technology up close — without interrupting formal training.

Why Bring This to PIMEC?

Because every rescue starts with someone who knows what to do in those first few minutes.
SIEHS simulations teach that exact response: see, decide, act.

And since maritime emergencies demand quick coordination, this training directly connects to how care transitions from a vessel to the shore — seamlessly and safely.

Around the Mannequin: The Continuum of Care

The story doesn’t end with first aid.

Right next to the simulation area, you’ll find the Boat Ambulance, showing how patients are safely moved from shore to vessel. It demonstrates stretcher handling, onboard assessment, and continuous medical communication while underway.

Nearby, explore the ICU-on-Wheels (ALS Ambulance) and rapid response units like the Bike and Mountain Bicycle Ambulances — each showing how SIEHS delivers complete emergency care from the field to the hospital.

What You’ll Take Away

You’ll leave with a clear sense of what “normal” looks like — and what doesn’t.
You’ll know the rhythm of effective compressions, how to relieve choking, and how to read a body’s signals under stress.

It’s not just training — it’s confidence you can feel.
