3 - Simulation control Panel and SeSSion log
The <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 the <Simulation control> panel.
The <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
The <All learner events> menu is used to register all other available events, not listed under the <Common learner events>. Events
can be registered in any of the following ways to the <Session log>:
• Using the <General events> button
• Using the <Event search> function
• Using the clickable manikin figure
5 - Performance
The <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
The Instructor’s Patient Monitor shows the status of patient’s vital signs throughout the simulation.
7 – airway StatuS
The 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, and total lung compliance.
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.
The <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.
Note: Bleeding is only available for SimMan Essential Bleeding and NOT for SimMan Essential.
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.
