Moulage: Nuts & Bolts Krista Kipper BSN, RN HealthPartners Clinical Program Manager
2
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Moulage – The artistic technique of incorporating realistic cues, such as wounds, perspiration, blood, or therapeutic devices, to increase the “psychological fidelity” of a simulation. Moulage
3
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Alignment with objectives Participant considerations – Level of experience – Environment – Inter-professional education Subject – Human – Mannequin Knowledge – Physiology of the situation – Mechanism of injury Considerations
4
Clinical education that measurably improves care. What do you need?
5
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Wigs – Halloween purchase Wounds & Incisions – Halloween purchase Eye Shadows & Blushes – Many colors Make-up brushes Water Color markers Finger paints Distilled water Dish detergents – Blue – White – Pink/red White shaving cream Red bubble wrap Red plastic food wrap – Winter holiday purchase Food coloring Moulage Supplies
6
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Artificial blood Spray bottle – Distilled water to spray diaphoresis – Scented concentrate Liquor/alcohol Fruity for DKA breath Adhesives – Tapes – Tegaderm Moulage Supplies cont… “White” eraser Powder
7
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Body Fluids Magic
8
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Moulage Supplies cont… Mixing Basics – Secure locking containers – Spoons – Leur-lock syringe – Cath tip syringe – Drainage bags for IV fluids – Funnels – Measuring cups
9
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Avoid – Mold Growth Food Products?
10
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Possible Exceptions: – No direct contact with mannequin Edema: Cream of wheat/oatmeal in secured bags covered with nylons Coffee grounds added to a fluid presented in a basin – Cornstarch for thickness – Rice crispies/broken chips in a baggie for crepitus – Plain gelatin with red food coloring for clots Food products?
11
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Benefits – Blending make-up for bruises is easier – Adhesives stick better – Individual can assist with device or moulage – Individual can assist with clean up – Realistic facial expressions and movement Human Subjects
12
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Limitations: – Need breaks – May have allergies to moulage/device materials – Inability to perform all “critical actions” when simulating a medical emergencies (ie. Intubate) – Limitations to the application of devices (ie. Foley) – Limitations related to exposure Human Subjects
13
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Benefits – More realistic device application (ie. Intubation) – Easy exposure – Ability to alter physiological findings – No allergic concerns – No timing issues related to breaks Mannequin Subjects
14
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Limitations: – Lack of movement & facial expressions – Devices do not fit realistically – Surface staining – Realistic blending of make-up is challenging – Variances' to the adhesive qualities of materials Mannequin Subject
15
Clinical education that measurably improves care. HumanMannequin Example of Bruises
16
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Example of Bruises
17
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Example of Wounds
18
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Example of Wounds
19
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Example of Burns
20
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Example of Burns
21
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Basic device needs – Dressings – Basins – Drainage collection devices IV infusion over flow Foley Stool collection device – Medications – Intravenous supplies – Chux – Armbands – Oxygen flowmeter – Oxygen Adjuncts Moulage Supplies cont….
22
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Additional medical device considerations: – Bag valve mask – Splints – C-collar – Backboard – Traction – Chest tubes – JP bulbs – IV pumps – Feeding pumps – Feeding tubes – Suction Canister – Yankeur THE LIST IS ENDLESS!!! Medical Supplies cont…
23
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Use expired materials (ie. Medications, defib pads) Repackage materials (ie. Cath kits, central line kits) Predetermined disposal site Make friends with ancillary departments (ie. Pharmacy, Biomed, Materials) Refill & Reuse… Reuse… Reuse Show me the money!!!
24
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Meconium – Green finger paint – Yellow finger paint – Blue dish detergent Mix finger paints, adding until desired color. Add dish detergent for color and consistency. Sample Recipe
25
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Liquid C-diff Stool – ½ cup Corn starch – 2 tsp Shaving cream – Black finger paint – Green finger paint – Red finger paint – 2 drops green food coloring – 1 drop red food coloring – Blue dish detergent Pour distilled water into a bowl for the approximate amount of stool, add green and red finger paints to make a brown color, add a tiny amount of black finger paint and food coloring. Mix corn starch, shaving cream, and blue dish detergent for realistic consistency. Sample Recipe
26
Clinical education that measurably improves care. Blood Clots – 1 box Gelatin – Food coloring – Water Mix according to box directions but use half as the amount of water. Add food color until desired color obtained. Pour into a cake pan (9x13). Place in refrigerator overnight to settle. Sample Recipe
27
