Medics with Colorado's South Metro Fire Rescue Authority are now using a state of the art simulation lab to train for emergencies.
The lab is equipped with a life-size ambulance, a robot mannequin and a control room. The mannequins, which cost roughly $75,000 each, are programmed to experience more than a hundred ailments like a cardiac arrest. They can talk, respond to pain, treatments and shots forcing paramedics to adapt as they go, just like a real person.
