Introduction
SimMan is a full body, adult manikin that allows the simulation of
Basic and Advanced Life Support Skills and Assessment to develop
both individual and team skills.
The simulator allows observation and recognition of most vital signs
which are used in emergency medicine either directly on the
manikin itself or on the included simulated Patient Monitor. When
used correctly, these features will support the students’ competence
ability to reach the correct diagnosis based on active observation as
opposed to being prompted by instructor cues.
The patient monitor also doubles as display for other functions, such
as display of 12-lead ECG and X-rays.
The manikin allows for most relevant medical intervention to be
performed according to their medical guidelines and protocols. The
Laerdal SimMan contains an advanced airway allowing for simulation
of difficult airway management cases. The anatomy can be changed
during the scenario (via remote control) to indicate changes to the
patient condition or as a response to students’ intervention. Correct
form and technique are required to perform direct laryngoscopy
and endotracheal intubation. Correct use of a variety of airway
adjuncts will successfully ventilate the patient simulator.
SimMan is delivered with a set of normal pupils inserted in the
head's eye sockets and a separate case containing 3 sets of replace-
ment pupils (normal, constricted, dilated) for simulation of various
medical conditions.
The simulated patient monitor is a replication of the Philips
IntelliVue patient monitor, which includes the ability to set up the
screen layout in various ways. It also allows configuration outside
the IntelliVue’s features to mimic other patient monitor types as
well.
SimMan is operated through a Software (SW) which runs on a PC.
Interaction with the SW is done through a Graphical User Interface
(GUI) where the various vital signs parameters are changed directly
or through pre-programmed scenarios. The SW also allows
automatic and manual logging of scenario events as well as video
capture. The events logged during a scenario can be shown in a
debrief viewer together with video capture. The log is synchronized
with the video capture. This allows the instructor to review both
the log and actual performance during debriefing. The debrief can
also be stored for later review.
