Giving students experience with real world situations, patient simulators are a great teaching device. Real scenarios can be programmed into the software enabling the instructor to teach new nurses and medical professionals how to respond to various situations. The concept of simulators has been used for many years in the airline industry.
The human patient simulator is a high-tech advanced mannequin in different stages of growth from infant, child and adult. Computer software supports pre-planned scenarios that mimic a variety of situations. Many of the simulators can produce bowel, heart and lung sounds. They have anatomically accurate pulse rates and respond to interventions that are both pharmacological and medical with the appropriate physiological responses. They can be programmed to talk and interact with the medical professional much like a person would.
Conditions such as laryngospasm, pulmonary embolus, heart failure and acute coronary syndrome can be simulated allowing students to respond accordingly. There are even pregnant patient simulators that can provide training for cesarean sections. These simulators allow the students to practice their skills giving them more confidence and assisting them in making the right assessments before actually working on real people.
For students who are specializing in obstetrics, there is a pregnant mannequin they can work with. Noelle is capable of a vaginal birth and has a simulated fetal heartbeat offering the students the ability to care for a pregnant woman before, during and after childbirth. They learn how to take care of both the mother and the baby.
The advanced I-Stan(TM)has realistic skin, reactive eyes with responsive pupils, improved airway, quieter operation with low-noise compressor and louder and clearer sounds for heart, lung and voice sounds. It runs on web-based technology that connects to a network running on a Mac or PC and has a graphic interface with simulator controls. You can create scenarios and manage content from anywhere.
The SimMan(r) is another simulator that is interactive and gives feedback to interventions. It comes pre-programmed and is customizable. It shows trend curves and how the physiological parameters alter and several can be run at once and combined. It has patented features that include realistic chest tube insertion with surgical and need cricothyrotomy and airway system. The color, size and texture of the bronchial tree is anatomically correct. It has landmarks for a realistic fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
The software for SimMan(R) offers touch-screen technology, a simulated patient monitor provides a snap shot x-ray, 12 lead ECG and trends. It comes with pre-programmed scenarios and can be customized to program instructor cases. Automatic responses to actions performed by students are available. With the advent of these patient simulators students can gain the confidence they need for real world situations by practicing on life-like, high-tech mannequins.
