Methods for Casting Airways
Published in Joan Gil, Models of Lung Disease, 2020
Pump (1964) used moulage for airway casting, especially for demonstrating the intra-acinar branches. The material can be self-colored, and may also be used for vascular injections. It has the useful property of being instantly solidified by strong acid, so an injected specimen may be immersed for maceration in hydrochloric acid immediately.
Anaesthesia and pain management
Published in Ian Greaves, Military Medicine in Iraq and Afghanistan, 2018
There was undoubtedly a degree of DMS anaesthetic team skill fade in the management of combat casualties after these conflicts, which was partly off-set by sending higher anaesthetic trainees to international medical centres that experienced high levels of trauma (for example the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Centre in Baltimore, MD, USA). Other DMS theatre staff were regularly involved in annual mock hospital trauma moulage exercises (HOSPEX) on land or at sea in RFA Argus. Operations Palliser (2000) and Silkman (2001) in Sierra Leone helped to maintain familiarity with the team and kit in theatre. Prior to Operation Telic, Exercise Saif Sareea II in Oman (2001) and Exercise Log Viper (2002) helped to prepare the field medical units, but the real learning occurred during the conflicts themselves.

Bear in mind that you may be faced with a resuscitation, or Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS), scenario as in the trauma ‘moulage’ scenarios of the ATLS course and it will be well worth your time recapping on the principles of ATLS prior to your exam, which we have done for you here.

360 degree VR compatible footage was recorded at the Western Australian (WA) Police Academy’s Joondalup Police Village using a purpose-built OZO VR camera (Nokia Pty Ltd, Espoo Finland). This camera synchronizes eight cameras mounted and outward facing from a single camera housing. Footage is then ‘stitched’ together to produce stereoscopic 360-degree spherical video and sound. The camera footage can also be formatted for viewing on a standard desktop or camera screen. Filming took place on a single day. Moulage was applied to ten patient actors by moulage experts from TraumaSim (WA, Australia) to simulate wounds acquired by the MCI. Following filming, the 360-degree film content was then edited to produce the finished immersive VR experience suitable for display via an Oculus Rift (Oculus, Irvine, USA) or HTC Vive headset (HTC Corporation, New Taipei City, Taiwan).

Moulage also benefits the actors with one saying ‘When patients touch or approach areas of injury, you can act up to it (i.e. scream when touching burns). You can visibly point to injuries. You can create more panic by showing your injuries’ (Figure 7).
