The invasive hemodynamic monitoring package provides the capability to measure and monitor the
following:
• Arterial blood pressure
• Left ventricular pressure
• Central venous pressure
• Right arterial pressure
• Right ventricular pressure
• Pulmonary artery pressure
• Pulmonary artery occlusion (wedge) pressure
In addition, the following responses and interventions are available with the invasive hemodynamic
monitoring package:
• The introduction and progressive insertion of a pulmonary artery catheter, synchronous
with the appropriate waveforms, can be simulated with the results shown on the
TouchPro software
• The Cardiovascular System simulates both hypovolemia and hypervolemia as well as right
and/or left heart failure
Modeled mode only:
• The patient has a baroreceptor reflex, the sensitivity of which can be controlled by the
instructor
• The patient’s cardiovascular response to medications is automatic and dose dependent
Chest Compression: In accordance with NRP and PALS guidelines, effective chest compression of the
patient’s sternum results in artificial circulation, cardiac output, central and peripheral blood
pressures, palpable pulses and CO
2
return. Pressure fluctuations are seen on invasive catheter
waveforms. The presence or absence of modeled exhaled CO
2
is directly related to chest
compression effectiveness and automatically and significantly increases when cardiac resuscitation is
successful.
Cardiac Arrhythmias: The instructor is able to select and maintain a desired arrhythmia and control
the simulated patient’s response to clinical interventions.
Electrical Therapy: Conventional defibrillators can be applied to the simulator using the SymDefib
assembly. With this device, the delivered energy is quantified in real-time to trigger the appropriate
patient response. The ECG can be monitored via the defibrillator contacts.
