FEATURES
Breathing Features
The SimMan 3G Trauma can simulate spontaneous breathing:
− Bilateral and unilateral chest rise and fall
− There are 4 compliance settings, from normal to extremely stiff
− There are 4 settings for airway resistance, from normal to
extremely tight.
− Normal and abnormal breath sounds
− 5 anterior auscultation sites and 6 posterior auscultation sites
− Unilateral, bilateral and lobar breath sounds
− Oxygen saturation and phlethysmogram
− CO

detectors
(Requires connection to an external CO

reservoir)
Warning: Do not ventilate the Patient Simulator with oxygen
enriched air or flammable gass.
Caution: Do not ventilate Patient Simulator lungs using humidified
air.

Lung specifications
− Max tidal volume: 1.2 liters
− Max tidal volume registered in the LLEAP is 900ml. All volumes
higher than 900ml will register as 900ml

Note: Lungs are not intended for use with PEEP-valves.
Pneumothorax
Tension pneumothorax with
needle decompression can be
performed at bilateral mid
clavicle line, 2nd intercostal
space. The pneumothorax
bladders may be pierced +/-10
times, the pressure inside the
bladder will drop after repeated
puncturing.
A 22 (or smaller) gauge
needle is recommended for
decompression of the chest.
Using a smaller gauge needle
increases the longevity of the
chest skin and bladders.
However, a too small gauge prevents automatic detection of the
decompression event in the simulation model.
Chest Tube Insertion
Chest tube insertion can be
simulated. Exploration and cut
can be made at left or right
mid-axillary line in the 4th and
5th intercostal space.
