About ETS
Emergo Train System (ETS) is an academic / educational simulation system used in several countries around the world for training and testing the preparedness and management of emergencies, major incidents and disasters.
The Emergo Train System pediatric trauma victim bank consists of pediatric patients, from infants up to 17 years old, with different trauma injuries such as for example crush injuries, penetrating injuries, vascular injuries, contusions, intestinal injuries, different types of fractures and wounds.
The pediatric trauma victim bank can be used as a complement to other ETS victim banks when you need pediatric vitims to a scenario. The victim bank can also be used to conduct surge capacity exercises at children hospital.
The patient has text on both the front and back side. On the front side is information that you can see or hear from a distance. On the front side is also written 'Child'. On the back is information that you discover after examining the patient. This text is in concordance with the ATLS®/PHTLS®/TNCC® program; A=Airway, B=Breathing, C=Circulation, D=Disability, and E=Exposure. On the back side is also the length of the child in cm.
All patients in the pediatric trauma victim bank have an individual management card. The card is used when they arrive in the hospital. On the front page is information about the intervention(s) the patient is given in the Emergency department and the time it will take. If the patient needs surgery or ICU, this information is provided on the back side of the management card.
All ETS patients are categorized into different patient outcome categories. Patient outcome is measured as risk for:
The time within measures should be performed to avoid preventable death or complication is lower for children and depends on the age of the child. The pediatric patient outcome categories are the same as for adults, but have subcategories depending on the age of the child. A pediatric category start with P in front of the category number and the subcategories are a, b and c. Category P-a are children 0-1 year, P-b are children 2-4 years and P-c children 5-12 years. Children over 12 years are evaluted according to adult categories. There is a special template for pediatric patient outcome evaluation included in the victim bank.
There are also templates to sort out patients from the victim bank based on patient outcome category or age.
The pediatric trauma victim bank is available in medium (100 patients/management cards) and small set (50 patients/management cards) + templates and other information.
The victim bank is developed by the ETS Competence center in collaboration with subject matter expertise. The material have been tested in exercises held at Södersjukhuset and Sachsska Children Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden and by the ETS faculty in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The patient has text on both the front and back side. On the front side is information that you can see or hear from a distance. On the back is information that you discover after examining the patient.

All patients in the penetrating truama victim bank have an individual management card. The card is used when they arrive in the hospital. On the front page is information about the intervention(s) the patient is given in the Emergency department and the time it will take. If the patient needs surgery or ICU, this information is provided on the back side of the management card.
All ETS patients are categorized into different patient outcome categories. Patient outcome is measured as risk for:
The injury that the patient sustained requires specific interventions that should be performed by the right resource within the correct time frame calculated from the time of injury. The penetrating trauma victim bank includes, in addition to other categories, also the patient outcome categories:
23 – penetrating thorax injury
24 – penetrating neck injury
25 – severe extremity bleeding
Some of the patients in the victim bank are children >12 years. They can be evaluated using the special pediatric patient outcome template.
Extra sheets of treatment markings/stickers is included in the penetrating trauma victim bank.
The penetrating trauma victim bank is available in medium (100 patients/management cards) and small set (50 patients/management cards).

The ETS psychosocial support training material is developed in order to practice coordination and psychological first aid for situations in everyday life as well as major incidents. The material was developed in 2013 and is used by county councils and municipalities in several countries. There is from September 2021, a new updated Psychosocial support set - version 4 available in English. The set is available in size medium and small. In medium size are survivors and conversation cards 301-400 included, and in small size survivors and conversation cards 301-350.
The ETS Psychosocial support set can be used:
The material consists of survivors of both genders, in various ages, family circumstances and life situations, so as to reflect a normal population of survivors of a major incident. They have been designed to reflect reactions to a potentially traumatic event where the survivors is not physically injured but has been exposed to this. The survivors have different reactions and different coping abilities. This demands individual assessment of the psychological first aid and individual assessment of the follow-up that is needed.
Stickers are included to be used to visualise actions that can be taken during psychological first aid.
If you already have ETS Psychosocial support set version 3, it is possible to update the existing set with new material. Contact us for further information!

The patient has text on both the front and back side. On the front side is information that you can see or hear from a distance. On the back is information that you discover after examining the patient. This text is in accordance with the ATLS®/PHTLS®/TNCC® program; A=Airway, B=Breathing, C=Circulation, D=Disability, and E=Exposure.
