FEATURES

Sounds

Two types of sounds can be used in a scenario:

– Body sounds

– Vocal sounds

The sounds can be triggered by the scenario or controlled by the
instructor.

Body Sounds

The body sounds are simulated sounds from a human body, like
heart, lungs, and bowel sounds. The sounds are integrated and
generated in the Patient Simulator and transferred through the
integrated speakers.

Vocal Sounds

The vocal sounds are sounds from the throat like coughing, moaning,
and crying as well as spoken words. The sounds are integrated in
LLEAP and transferred to the Patient Simulator through the VCA.

In addition, the instructor can communicate through a microphone
and the voice is then transferred to the Patient Simulator through
the VCA.

Note: A variety of settings in the Sounds window can be made in
LLEAP. See LLEAP Help for further information

Eyes Settings and Configuration

displayed in LLEAP. The following sources of information help the
learner to judge the state of disability:

Eyes

− Blinking eyelids

− Eyelids: open, closed or partially open

− Eyelids can be opened for examination by the learner

− Set of interchangeable pupils available

Note: A variety of settings in the Circulation and Fluids window can
be made in LLEAP. See LLEAP Help for further information.
