Hypostasis recognition for EMS - Trigger warning One of our recent projects has been the development of bodies with Post Mortem staining - which is a core skill now for all involved in EMS Once a person dies, their circulation comes to a halt, and the blood starts moving towards the lowest regions of the body due to gravity. This effect results in reddish-blue staining of those low-lying dependent regions of the body, known as the livor mortis, post mortem staining, post mortem lividity, or post mortem hypostasis. (Frustratingly it has many names!) During the initial phases, patches of discoloration start appearing in the dependent regions in 1 to 3 hours after death. These increase in size and spread all over the dependent regions in 4 to 6 hours and are fully developed within 6 to 8 hours. So, in case of the body of an individual lying on the floor of a room, the back of the individual will show postmortem staining. Any change in the position of the body causes blood to settle down in the newer dependent areas, referred to as ‘shifting of postmortem lividity.’ However, this shifting may not be possible after 6 to 8 hours of death, due to postmortem coagulation of blood accumulated in the dependent areas of the body. This phenomenon is termed as ‘fixation of postmortem staining.’ Whether or not lividity is fixed is determined by the blanching test. The pressure is applied to the livid area by the thumb of the observer for about a minute, then released. If the area underneath the thumb becomes pale on the removal of pressure, the lividity is said to be not fixed, while if the region stays stained even after removal of pressure, the lividity is said to be fixed. Importantly - The lividity does not appear on the parts of the body which are in contact with the floor/ bed/ slab, etc., or those compressed due to tight clothing, bands, etc., because of the obstruction and compression effect of surface in the underlying vessels. The absence of discoloration in these areas is called ‘contact flattening,’ ‘contact pallor,’ or ‘contact blanching.’ The appearance of postmortem staining depends on multiple factors, including, amount of blood at the time of death and the coagulability status, etc. Lividity is feeble/ less marked in deaths following blood loss/ those with anaemias, while it is more intense in cases of asphyxia deaths. Post mortem staining can be of a distinct colour in cases of poisoning. Cherry red staining presents in carbon monoxide poisoning, pink-colored staining is observable in cyanide poisoning, and brown coloured staining occurs in nitrate poisoning. We have started making manikins with post mortem staining at Lifecast Body Simulation Ltd Thanks to Steve Shackleton for his brilliant work on this.

#imsh2025 - new product being launched by Lifecast Body Simulation Ltd and 3B Scientific ? Representation Matters in Medical Training: Introducing Our New Black-Skinned Manikin At Lifecast Body Simulation, we are committed to creating manikins that reflect the full diversity of human beings — because authenticity in medical simulation can save lives. That’s why we’re proud to announce the launch of our latest innovation: a Black-skinned male manikin, meticulously crafted from the real-life features of Sherif, a Londoner who generously participated in this groundbreaking project. Like most people in the simulation community we have questioned diversity of training products - most black manikins are caucadian manikins painted black. Sherif’s story and presence remind us how crucial it is for healthcare professionals to encounter diverse skin tones in training environments. From recognizing visual signs of illness on different skin tones to improving inclusive, culturally competent care, diversity in simulation is not just a preference — it’s a necessity. This new manikin, like all Lifecast creations, combines hyper-realism with educational functionality. By using actual body molds and lifelike details, we aim to enhance clinical preparedness and help bridge gaps in health outcomes. We’d like to express our heartfelt thanks to Sherif for his incredible contribution. His involvement brings authenticity and representation to medical training tools that serve a global audience. #DiversityInHealthcare #MedicalSimulation #Lifecast #RepresentationMatters #HealthcareEducation Miles Sprott 3B Scientific HealthySimulation.com HEALTHCARE SIMULATION MIDDLE EAST Steve Shackleton Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) This post is designed to spark engagement and highlight our mission of diversity and realism in simulation training.

What’s the Next Big Idea in Healthcare Simulation? Fellow simulationists: As we look to the future of healthcare simulation, what should our next “big idea” be? The field has already revolutionized training, patient safety, and systems design, but innovation is never finished. Is it: AI-driven simulations that adapt in real time to learner performance? Immersive XR environments for interprofessional education? Global simulation networks to democratize access to expertise? Sustainability initiatives to reduce waste in simulation? What emerging challenges can we solve? What untapped potential in simulation can transform care delivery? Let’s collaborate, brainstorm, and build. Share your thoughts, no matter how bold or unconventional—they might just spark the next big idea.
