Clinical Simulation
EMS Hypoglycemia
About This Course
What you'll experience
Jim, a 32-year-old insulin dependent diabetic male, is discovered unresponsive at home by his family. EMS is called promptly. You arrive to find Jim with equal and reactive pupils and actively seizing with generalized tonic-clonic movements. His skin is pale and sweaty. This open scenario is designed to expose learners to a case of hypoglycemia and provide practice in identifying the condition and managing it. The scenario is set in realistic environments to provide real-world experiences.
Learning Objectives
- Identifying the signs and symptoms of severe hypoglycemia
- Demonstrating appropriate emergency management procedures
- Administering correct treatment interventions for a seizing hypoglycemic patient
- Evaluating the patient’s response to treatment and adjusting care accordingly

Managing Hypoglycemia
As part of this multiplayer open scenario, the learner will reach the patient’s home to find him unresponsive with equal and reactive pupils and actively seizing. An assessment of the patient’s breathing and pulse condition will have to be performed followed by a BVM ventilation. The learner will establish an IV line and administer appropriate medication. Following these steps should stop the seizure, help the patient regain consciousness but mildly delirious.
This scenario is set in a photorealistic environment, and all necessary affordances are made available to assist learners in performing their tasks with efficiency and effectiveness.
