Luna Features
LUNA FEATURES
The Luna simulator represents the latest in the state-of-the-art simulation technology for educating
clinicians at all levels of healthcare education. Sophisticated mathematical models of human
physiology and pharmacology automatically determine the effect of user actions and interventions
on the patient, embodied by the manikin. In this way, patient outcomes result from clinical
interventions and provide a platform for objective performance assessment.
Neonatal Manikin
The Luna manikin displays the physical characteristics of a newborn to one-month-old patient. The
simulator comes with interchangeable male and female genitalia. Fully operational in the supine
position, the manikin can be placed on standard operating room tables, in ICU warmers or isolettes,
newborn bassinets, on the ground or even in a vehicle (in the case of a simulated accident).
Physiological and Pharmacological Features
Luna presents patient reactions based on complex neurological, cardiovascular, genitourinary,
andrespiratory models. The manikin allows for the physical assessment of various clinical signs (i.e.,
heart, lung and breath sounds, palpable pulses, chest excursion, airway patency, etc.) that are
dynamically coupled with the mathematical models of human physiology and pharmacology.
Cardiovascular System
Similar to the Respiratory System, the Cardiovascular System accurately simulates a wide variety of
hemodynamic conditions and responses.
Base Cardiovascular System
The simulated patient generates heart sounds, including a range of pathological ones that are
synchronized to the QRS complex of the ECG and are audible with the standard stethoscope and
StethoSym assembly over the left upper and lower sternal border.
A three-lead ECG is emitted from the appropriate positions on the patient’s chest for display on a
standard monitor. The simulator generates a normal sinus ECG, as well as a broad range of
abnormalities such as sinus tachycardia, bradycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and asystole.
The hemodynamic response to the arrhythmias is physiologically correct.
Palpable brachial, femoral and umbilical pulses are provided and are synchronous to the ECG.
The pulse threshold set points can be adjusted by the instructor to meet specific clinical and
educational requirements. The umbilical pulse, and left and right brachial and femoral pulses are
independently controllable by the instructor for presence and absence in the case of trauma to a
specific extremity.
