INTRODUCTION
Manikin Setup
SimMan 3G Patient Manikin
For Advanced Clinical Simulation
SimMan 3G is an advanced patient simulation system that facilitates
training of Basic and Advanced Life Support. The system allows the
instructor to effectively assess the learner’s individual and team skills
based on a realistic clinical situation.
SimMan 3G allows observation and recognition of most vital signs.
This is achieved through direct interaction with the manikin and
observation of the manikin’s status as viewed on the SimMan 3G
Patient Monitor PC.
The SimMan 3G simulation system features include:
• An advanced configurable airway, comprised of adjustable lung
compliance and resistance - allowing simulation of difficult airway
management cases.
• Eyes that respond to light and react according to the clinical
state of the manikin.
• Bleeding and Wound Modules are fed from an internal blood
reservoir. An external Blood Fill Unit may be connected for
extended bleeding cases.
• Simulated Secretions: Sweat, tears, froth, urine and ear fluids are
fed from an internal fluid reservoir. An external Fluid Fill Unit
may be connected for extended use.
• Focus on Quality CPR (QCPR): measurement and feedback
according to the 2000 and 2010 Guidelines.
• Vascular Access (intra-osseous) via the tibia and sternum.
• Automatic Simulation Control based on pre-programmed and
validated Patient Cases.
The Main Components of the SimMan 3G System:
SimMan 3G is an adult life-size wireless manikin, with internal battery
power, internal air compressor and fluid reservoirs. Interventions by
learners are registered by the system in the session log, and used for
later debriefing.
Patient Monitor PC can be configured to replicate most patient monitors.
The web-camera records video and sound from the simulation for use
during the debriefing session. The Patient Monitor PC also doubles as a
display for other functions, such as 12-lead ECG, X-ray images and lab
results to view the patient’s case history.
The Instructor PC controls the simulation. The headset allows the
instructor to simulate interactive voice communication between the
patient and the learner.
The simulation can run autonomously using pre-defined Patient Cases.
The development of the patient’s condition is pre-programmed and
automatically responds according to the learner interventions.
Also included are PC software programs for creating and editing
Scenarios, as well as an application for debriefing simulation sessions
with video capture from a web-camera and the SimMan 3G Patient
Monitor PC.
WLAN Communication
Communication between the SimMan 3G manikin and the laptop PCs
is based on WLAN communication. The manikin and PCs can also be
connected to a LAN cable network, and WLAN disabled.
Disclaimer
Use of the SimMan 3G patient simulation system to train personnel
should be undertaken under supervision of suitably trained medical
personnel with an understanding of educational principles as well
as recognized medical protocols. As with all manikins or other
such training devices there may be approximations, variations and
inaccuracies in anatomical features and the physiological modeling.
This being the case, Laerdal does not guarantee that all features are
completely accurate.
