Description
Sarah Sussman and co-authors build a practice neck that bleeds in a 2026 medical education paper. Penetrating neck wounds kill by blood loss because the vessels feeding the brain run through them, yet first responders get little training: real practice is costly, rare, and ethically fraught.
The team wrote a prehospital curriculum from existing trauma algorithms and built a hands-on simulator for rehearsing the steps. Professional hockey athletic trainers, a group that faces skate-blade neck injuries, piloted the training. The authors present the trainer as a cheap, repeatable rehearsal for a minutes-count emergency.
