Running a Scenario in Instructor Mode
MONITOR AND CONTROL THE SCENARIO
The instructor should monitor and control the patient’s status as represented by the manikin.
The Simulation control graph shows the patient status in terms of past, current and predicted trend lines. The timer in the top right
corner shows how long the simulation has been running.
Depending on the scenario, pre-programmed Trends become active and affect the predicted Trend lines. The instructor can also add
Trends to the scenario, and can decide to freeze or delete active Trends. The Trend lines will be updated accordingly.
ADJUST PATIENT PARAMETERS DURING SIMULATION
The Instructor’s Patient Monitor shows the patient’s current status. To manually adjust the patient parameters:
Click the individual graphs or numeric parameters. Pop-up menus allow the instructor to change the relevant parameters, OR
Hold cursor over a numeric parameter for 1 second. The selected parameter’s background will go grey and the mouse pointer will
change appearance, to indicate that the scroll wheel can be used to increase or decrease the value.
MONITORING AND REGISTERING LEARNER EVENTS
As the learner responds to the patient case, the instructor should register <Learner events> as they are performed using the
<Common Learner events> list and/or the Learner events menu.
Some events are registered automatically by the SimMan Essential manikin. These appear with blue text and have a wireless manikin
icon next to them.
INTERACT WITH THE LEARNER
Open the <Voice Conference Application> on the Instructor’s PC. Use the headset to listen to the learners’ communication and
respond via the microphone.
