System Setup
3 - SIMULATION CONTROL PANEL AND SESSION LOG
<Simulation control> panel contains the main tools used in running the selected patient case. Parameters controlling the underlying
pathology in the simulation can be monitored, and modified during a simulation session by using <Simulation control> panel.
<Session Log> records information about events in response to the patient case. This information is then made available in debrief
files at the end of the simulation session.
4 - ALL LEARNER EVENTS
<All learner events> menu is used to register all other available events, not listed under <Common learner events>. Events can be
registered in any of the following ways to <Session log>:
• Using <General events> button
• Using <Event search> function
• Using interactive manikin figure
5 - PERFORMANCE
<Performance> window shows the effectiveness of learner ventilations and compressions during the simulation.
Learner performance data can be viewed either as an average or in real-time.
The performance window, below the manikin figure, is minimized as default. Click the expand button to open the window.
6 - INSTRUCTOR’S PATIENT MONITOR
<Instructor’s Patient Monitor> shows the status of patient’s vital signs throughout the simulation.
7 – AIRWAY STATUS
<Airway Status> window shows the state of the patient’s airway in a real-time animation with a list of symptoms.
Indicators also show the resistance of the left and right lungs.
Note: Ensure that you select the Airway Status tab.
8 - NEUROLOGY
<Neurology> - The Neurology status list shows information about the patient’s position on the Glasgow Coma Scale and Visual
Analog Scale.
<Eyes> animation is a real-time representation of the status of the eyes of the patient/manikin and is shown when clicking on the
Neurology tab.
9 - CIRCULATION & FLUIDS
<Circulation & Fluids> - Displays information about the health of the patient with regards to pulses and rate of bleeding.
10 – BODY SOUNDS
Clicking the <Body Sounds> button calls up the <Body Sounds> dialog box. The dialog shows the current sound scheme and volume
for each speaker attached to the various body parts: heart, bowel, and anterior/posterior view of the lungs.
11 - TECHNICAL STATUS
The Technical status window provides information about the technical status of the SimMan Essential manikin system, including battery
life, wireless (WLAN) connection signal strength, blood tank drainage, communication channels in use and video recording.
