Advanced patient simulator
Abstract:
A patient simulator may include a pump, a compressor, a power source, and a simulated torso in which the pump, the compressor, and the power source are contained. The compressor may include an inlet to which a bellows is coupled. A head coupling may detachably couple a simulated neck to the simulated torso. Similarly, an extremity coupling may detachably couple a simulated lower extremity to a simulated upper extremity, which simulated upper extremity is coupled to the simulated torso. The pump, the compressor, and/or the power source may provide hydraulic fluid, pneumatic fluid, and or electrical power, respectively, into: the simulated neck via the head coupling; or the simulated lower extremity via the extremity coupling. In addition, or instead, the patient simulator may include an invasive blood pressure (IBP) assembly having an armature adapted to contact a tube to change a fluid pressure in the IBP assembly.
