ALS Vital Signs

Paramedic trainees must learn how to take vital signs--pulse, respiration, skin color/temperature/condition, pupils, and blood pressure. Vital signs are a key factor in determining the stability of a patient and monitoring a patient over time. One of the biggest challenges in learning to take vital signs is the absence of actual patients on which to practice. ALS Vital Signs enables trainees to practice on a variety of patients in a variety of scenarios--mimicking what they'll see in practice. Also, the value of computer-based training has been an increased ability to allow students to practice skills at their own pace, at the time and location of their choice and with appropriate feedback and remediation.
