Patient simulation
Under patient simulation , even ALS training , is understood in the field of emergency medical services and medical education and training, the realistic representation of medical case studies with patient simulators.
These simulators range from simple dolls (e.g. Resusci-Anne ), which are used, for example, as part of first- aid training, to complex simulators that can realistically display a large number of vital functions .
The following can be simulated:
- Blood pressure
- Forms of breathing,
- Tension pneumothorax ,
- Heart sounds and murmurs,
- Lung sounds,
- Pupillary differences
Various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures can be practiced on the simulator, for example blood pressure measurement, intravenous access, nasal and oral endotracheal intubation , fiberoptic intubation, placing chest drains , intramuscular injections, defibrillation and chest compressions as well as invasive and non-invasive ventilation.
Most known simulators are controlled in the background by an operator / technician / clinician in such a way that the learner gets the impression that the "patient" is reacting to the therapy or intervention. This requires the relevant experience of these operators. The latest simulators react autonomously or make the simulation training more consistent and cost-effective, since an operator is no longer needed. However, the prerequisite is the correct parameterization of these autonomous simulators.
