INTRODUCTION
SimMan Essential Patient
Simulator
For Clinical Simulation
SimMan Essential is a patient simulation system that facilitates training
of Basic and Advanced Life Support. This system allows the instructor
to effectively assess the learner’s individual and team skills based on
realistic clinical situations.
SimMan Essential allows observation and recognition of most vital
signs. This is achieved through direct interaction with the Patient
Simulator and observation of the Patient Simulator’s status which can
also be viewed on the Patient Monitor PC (optional).
The SimMan Essential Simulation System
Features Include:
– An advanced configurable airway - allowing simulation of difficult
airway management cases.
– Eyes with interchangeable pupils and adjustable blinking function.
– Focus on Quality CPR (QCPR): measurement and feedback
according to the 2005 and 2010 Guidelines.
– Vascular Access (intra osseous) via the left tibia.
– Internal urine bladder which can be filled with fluid to simulate
urine.
– Automatic Simulation Control based on preprogrammed and
validated Patient Cases.
The Main Components of the SimMan Essential
SimMan Essential is an adult life-size wireless Patient Simulator, 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.
The Instructor PC controls the simulation. The headset allows the
instructor to simulate interactive voice communication between the
patient and the learner.
Software available for use with the simulator includes LLEAP for
controlling scenarios, SimDesigner for creating and editing scenarios,
SimView server or SessionViewer for debriefing simulation sessions
with video capture and a Patient Monitor application.
WLAN Communication
Communication between the SimMan Essential Patient Simulator
and the PCs is based on WLAN communication. The Patient
Simulator and PCs can also be connected to a LAN cable network,
and WLAN disabled.
