Title: Playmobil City EMS new custom EKG monitor leads.
Post by: Bill Blackhurst on June 19, 2009, 02:58:42
This is a photo story of Playmobil City Emergency Medical Services in action using my new custom EKG monitor with leads to monitor heart rate, & heart electrical activity. The young male in the following pictures starting feeling nauseated, with the following symptoms; cold sweats, chestpain, & pain radiating into his upper interior left arm. After administering oxygen, an IV TKO, & monitor leads, he was shown by the monitor, & symptoms to be having a Myocardial Infarction (MI) that prompted immediate intervention.

Thank you leefert, & Gepetto for your positive reviews! I've been working on this project off, & on lately, & finally was satisfied enough with the end results to show my efforts! It has always driven me crazy to see Playmobil have heart monitors now especially in the hospital ER, & ambulances, with no leads to connect the patient to the machine, or defibrillators to regulate heart V-fib or asystole problems in ambulances,.....what the....? So I had to fix these problems!

your ekg leads are sooooo great.  i like their scale.  are you going to share how they were made?  love the photo details as well.  one last thing to make it even more real, is there a male figure without a shirt that could be used?  or do you need to customize an open shirt?

They look really excellent - most realistic.  You bring a new edge to detail customs, Bill.

Thank you, LHAAP, kaethe, Playmofire for your positive reviews! kaethe, I've been wondering about a bare skinned torso myself, but haven't pursued it much! I would prefer to find a figure like you described to create more realism. I think maybe some of the native series, slated to come out in the future, or past retired jungle native series had some that with some removal of printed clothes could be used in custom figures to fill this need. The lower body would need to be switched to individual legs instead of a long dress with feet also. I'll start looking into this quest  ;)!

I've just thought of a design for an open shirt custom figure :yippee:! I'll start development on it immediately, & after I get the items needed to create it, post the finished project in an updated EMS call photo story  ;)!
I hope this project will help you also, kaethe!

Hello Bill,

Thank you very much indeed for sharing your latest project with us :wow:. Your attention to detail is allways first class :wow:. I really do like how you use the rubber leads and how you join them together with your custom connector's. Your ambulance service is at the cutting edge of 'Playmobil Technology' leaving mine stranded in the dark ages :lol:. I must really start directing some of the yearly budget into my health services, klickies are suffering as a result of funding shortages!

Thank you everyone for the positive review of this project  ;D! I have to admit to everyone that the costs involved in this particular design were not severe at all! I basically used items I already had in my inventory for earlier projects such as double sided tape, 0.5mm thick styrene plastic sheets, plastic tube assortment pieces, & straight pins, etc. The only items used that came from Playmobil DS were the rubber monitor cables @ approximately $1.75 each. The only items that's costs were possibly extravagant were the initial investment of tools needed to achieve the precise clean cuts, & appearances like the hole punches, dies, etc.
So my advice to everyone is,......try it, you'll like it,......customising that is! I look forward to seeing rival designs!
