an overview of the Inventory.

4.1 Using Virtual Resources in Triaging Area

4.1.1 Inventory

The lesson will start in the conference room where some content from the previous lesson will be

revisited and an overview of ESI, START, and utilization of Triage Tags presented. We will then

proceed to the triage training area followed by the uniform and clothing stores. This guide will

provide you with instructions, and give you an overview of the Second Life inventory.

This will not be an exhaustive exploration of the Inventory, but rather an overall look at how we

are going to use the Inventory during the current session. Almost everything you own in SL is

kept in your Inventory.

21

Students’ Manual

The Inventory tab is located in the bottom right corner.

Click on it to open the Inventory window.

You will find many folders, and we will be working mainly with the Objects, Clothing and

Notecards folders in this tutorial. If there is time at the end of this lesson, we will explore

Landmarks.

Interacting with the mannequins or Avatars in the triage area

4.1.2 Moving the mannequins

You can use the skills you acquired in previous lessons to push the wheel chairs that have

mannequins sitting on them. To lead the standing mannequins right click on the rectangular

object in front of them and walk to required location. The mannequin will follow you.

You will be directed to the clothing stores where posters will guide you. You will be given you

the choice to wear the clothes when you left click on the outfit to select it.

Just check on the wear now option before clicking on “buy”. Please be patient it may take a few

seconds before you see the new outfit on your avatar. While your clothing will appear on you,

you may need to get other objects such as shoes from the inventory and wear them.

For clothing items, the new item selected will replace the one you are wearing e.g. if you select

a new shirt to wear, it will replace the current one automatically on your avatar.

You may choose not to wear the clothing now. You can find the items you bought in the

Inventory. The folder will bear the ID # of the outfit you bought (e.g. 07a) on the store panel, and

prefixed with an “F” (e.g. the folder name will be “F07a”) for female outfits. For male outfits the

folders will be prefixed by “M” followed by the ID# of the outfit as labeled in the store.

Tip: You can always go to the “Recent Items” in the menu of the Inventory to see all the new

things you acquire during this session.

4.2 Landmarks Folder

4.2.1 Landmarks for Lesson 3

You may want to create landmarks of locations you have visited. Landmarks allow you to

teleport to that location from somewhere else. Landmarks are stored, by default, in the

Landmarks folder in the Inventory.

The three main landmarks for this session will be as follow:

Conference Room, Obelix (150, 131, 22)

Triage Training Area, Obelix (220, 71, 33)

PPE &Clothing Store, Asterix (143, 112, 59)

32

Students’ Manual

Students’ Manual

5 Pandemic Flu Triage Exercise in Play2TrainVirtual Environment In this lesson you will learn how to use the virtual resources in the triaging area outside the

hospital.

The Scenario will start in the conference room, where the Incident Commander will address you.

5.1.1 Wearing Scrubs and PPE

You will then be asked to proceed to the Triage area set up outside the hospital. Wear your

scrubs and PPE. Further team leaders will be assigned and will need to wear appropriate ICS

vests. You will be using the skills you learnt in the previous lessons to participate in the

Pandemic Flu drill such as camera skills, pushing cart or wheelchairs, wearing clothing and

objects and interacting with your inventory. Your previous manual will be particularly helpful.

5.1.2 Patient Triaging

You will take on your emergency role within the Hospital Incident Command System (HICS)

and then figure out how to appropriately and correctly use the triage systems available to you to

manage the increasing numbers of patients that are now presenting for care.

There are two types of patients the mannequin ones and a few avatars. They are all

recognizable by their triage Tags.

Mannequin Patient

35

Students’ Manual

5.1.3 Move mannequin patients

If they are on wheel chairs, right click and push their wheel chairs .

If they are standing right click on the black platform and lead them.

5.1.4 Listen to mannequin patient symptoms

Stand close to a mannequin. Left click on its face use your camera skills to zoom on it – so you

can hear their symptoms clearly and loudly.

36

Students’ Manual

5.1.5 Make Mannequin patient wear respiratory mask

Left click on their lip to make them wear a mask

5.1.6 Vitals Notecard

A few dummies have a note card with their vitals on them. Left click on belly of Mannequin and

you will get a notecard with vitals. [Not all dummies have these cards]

Click on keep and the note card will open. Once you have read it, click on [keep] and it will be

stored in your inventory under notecard. You can always access it by clicking on it in the

inventory.

37

Students’ Manual

5.1.7 Interact with Avatar Patients

They will come to you at the triage area. If they can’t walk carry them on stretchers. You can

talk to the avatar patient. S/he will respond to you by voice or text. If necessary you can request

her/him to put on a mask.

5.1.8 Triage Tents

You can change the signs on the tents by clicking on them and direct the triaged patients to

appropriate tents.

38

Students’ Manual

5.1.9 Feedback and Debrief

At the end of triaging, the IC will reconvene a meeting in the triaging area for feedback and

debrief.

You will find a link to the scenario narrative in the Resources section, at the end of this manual.

6 Pandemic Flu Triage Exercise in the ED of the Virtual Hospital

6.1.1 Communicate with an avatar who is far from you e.g. in another room

You will revisit the voice call orientation station to review direct voice calls and private IM to

communicate with another avatar that is far away from you on a one-on-one basis. Please use

this only for remote communication when the person you are addressing is not in view. Talking

to someone one-on-one means you won't be a participant in group voice chats. Please use the

usual proximity voice chat if you are in the same room or space to allow other team members to

hear you and to allow interaction within the team.

39

Students’ Manual

You will then proceed to the conference room for more instructions and information on the

exercise scenario. The Scenario will start in the conference room, where the Incident

Commander will address you.

6.1.2 Previously Learned skills

You will be using the skills you learned in the previous lessons to participate in the Pandemic

Flu drill such as wearing PPE, vests pushing cart or wheelchairs, interacting with your inventory,

and reading note cards with the patient’s vitals. Your camera control and navigation skills will be

particularly helpful for indoor navigation in the hospital.

Camera controls

Besides the zooming in and out, and panning and orbiting around an object, Mouse scroll is

another way to use the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom in or out the view. You can therefore

see a close view from right behind your avatar or from quite a distance away with yourself as

simply one tiny figure.
