TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Casualty modeling for real-time medical training JO - Presence A1 - Chi, D. M. A1 - Clarke, J. R. A1 - Webber, B. L. A1 - Badler, N. I. SP - 359 EP - 366 VL - 5 IS - 4 N2 - We present a model for simulating casualties in virtual environments for real-time medical training. It allows a user to choose diagnostic and therapeutic actions to carry out on a simulated casualty who will manifest appropriate physiological, behavioral, and physical responses. Currently, the user or a "stealth instructor" can specify one or more injuries that the casualty has sustained. The model responds by continuously determining the state of the casualty, responding appropriately to medical assessment and treatment procedures. So far, we have modeled four medical conditions and over 20 procedures. The model has been designed to handle the addition of other injuries and medical procedures.
