Cardiovascular System
The Luna manikin includes cardiovascular features that allow learners to practice basic assessment
and life support skill sets. With the Luna manikin, learners can:
• Palpate pulses
• Place IV lines and catheters
• Administer IM and SQ injections
• Perform IO procedures
• Auscultate realistic heart sounds using a StethoSym assembly (simulated stethoscope)
• Perform chest compressions
• Perform ECG monitoring
• Perform simulated defibrillation, or real defibrillation with a commercial defibrillator
Cardiovascular System Controls
With Luna’s Cardiovascular system, users can replicate the clinical signs associated with cardiac
activity, including palpable pulses, heart sounds, and electrical activity.

Software Control Manual Control
Heart Sounds Normal and abnormal heart sounds
are synchronized to the cardiac cycle
and audible with a standard stetho-
scope and a StethoSym assembly.
Heart sounds can be auscultated
over the left and right upper sternal
border, right lower sternal border
and apex.
None required;
specific sounds
can be selected.
From the
Run
screen, tap
Sounds and select
Heart tab.
Utilize stetho-
scope with the
StethoSym assem-
bly.
3-Lead ECG ECG waveforms can be viewed on a
standard monitor and/or on the
Patient Monitor. Normal and
abnormal cardiac rhythms are linked
to patient physiology (e.g. blood
pressure, cardiac output).
None required;
specific rhythms
can be selected.
ECG monitor may
be utilized.
Myocardial
Ischemia
Myocardial oxygen supply and
demand automatically influence the
cardiac rhythm, yielding response to
hypoxemia.
None required,
but adjustable.
None required.
