SETUP
Connecting Wounds Kit
SimMan Essential Bleeding comes with a wounds kit that includes
2 wounds and double-sided tape to attach wounds to the Patient
Simulator skin.
Connect wounds to the bleeding ports on the Patient Simulator
torso to simulate a bleeding patient.
1 Select a wound from the wounds kit.
2 Connect the tube from the wound, to the nearest blood port.
There are four blood ports with
twist and lock connectors, as
illustrated on the right.
− Ensure the area to which
the wound will be attached
is clean and dry.
− Apply adhesive tape to the
back side of the wound.
− Remove the protective
liner from the adhesive
tape on the wound and fix
it in the desired position on
the skin.
Removing Wounds
Flush all blood ports and tubes with distilled or de-ionized water
while the wounds are still attached. When the fluid runs clear,
disconnect the tube from the fluid outlet. After the wound is
removed, any tape residue can be cleaned from the Patient Simulator
skin with Laerdal Manikin Wipes.
Note: When removing wounds from the blood ports, cover the
Patient Simulator skin with a cloth to prevent staining.
Note: Trauma modules can be purchased separately to replace
default limbs to add realism to simulation.
Simulate Severe Bleeding Using
LLEAP
Start a Patient Case with Bleeding in LLEAP.
To extend bleeding patient simulations, a scale factor can be used.
Ensure, when the external Blood Fill Unit is empty; replace it with
another Blood Fill Unit filled with simulated blood. Repeat this
process for as many times as is necessary.
Note: If the external fill unit runs empty during a bleeding
scenarios, air will be introduced to the blood system, causing
inaccurate reading.
