CAE Simulators To Be Used For Trauma Training, Disaster Management

CAE Healthcare has announced the sale of Caesar trauma patient simulators to NATO and a U.S. Department of Homeland Security training center that is dedicated to disaster preparedness. Originally developed for the military, Caesar is now proving popular with the emergency and disaster response markets due to his resistance to rain, extreme temperatures, humidity, dirt, sand and body impact. "Our newest version of the Caesar trauma simulator is even more rugged and more versatile for the military, emergency response and disaster response markets," said Michael Bernstein, president of CAE Healthcare. "Caesar has generated a tremendous amount of excitement and interest among emergency and disaster response agencies". Caesar was designed to withstand adverse environmental conditions to allow point-of-care training in challenging field settings. With dramatic bleeding and automatic physiological response to treatment, Caesar is training medics and responders who need to stabilize an injured patient quickly for transport or for higher-level care. The NATO Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) in Casteau, Belgium has purchased a Caesar for use in training Special Operations Forces (SOF) on a multinational level.
