Master Sgt. Zachary Fontaine, 445th Aeromedical Staging Squadron medical technician performs chest compressions on a SimMan ALS manikin while 1st Lt. Ben Trick, ASTS, clinical nurse observes Nov. 2, 2019. The manikin provides feedback to cadre if the med. tech giving care is doing the compressions deep enough. Real-time feedback allows trainers to make immediate correction to care technics so medical personnel train right the first time. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Darrell Sydnor)
