Firefighters Receive "High Tech" Medical Training through Cooper Hospital

     Firefighters from the Cherry Hill Fire Department were given a unique opportunity to hone their skills on a very "high-tech" training manikin, thanks to the efforts of both the Training Division and Cooper Hospital.  This training tool provides, state of the art, EMS specific scenarios which closely mimics many of the medical-related emergencies they are faced with.  From respiratory emergencies and allergic reactions to vitals signs and maternitys, there is really nothing these manikins cannot do.


    Cooper hospital has also agreed to continue this training, throughout the future, with the members of the CHFD and provide a schedule of different training topics driven to maintain the level of excellence we require for our community.  

Instructors are able to closely monitor all aspects of the firefighter's treatment through a computer that provides real-time data and allows them to evolve the signs and symptoms presented by the manikin.

These manikins are also used by Anesthesiologists at Cooper to re certify and maintain their license.
