Posted September 21, 20213 yr Dear Colleagues! We have mannequins, but they have no feedback. Does anyone use a medical simulation applications (TruMonitor, InSimu, etc.)? What solutions would you recommend for mannequins upgrade?
September 23, 20213 yr Hi. I'm educational director at CEPS in Sweden, a concept for simulation spread throughout the country. Most of the mannequins used are the basic ones with no feedback. We have the most advanced as well but I find that the information I get from them doesn't give that much additional educational value. In Sweden the T-piece is the device used att neo resuss so I'm not that concerned about pressures. If we see the the chest of the mannequin is raising that is enough for me, they need to evaluate the heart rate in order to evaluate if their ventilation is sufficient. We use Simmon, an app, for simulating vital signs monitors, it's easy to use and totally mobile. You need two tablets. All the best
September 28, 20213 yr I think you need to contact the company to see if the versions you have can be upgraded or not . There are expensive advanced new simulators ,that mimics neonates ,that can be connected to the monitors ,and various scenarios can be applied for teaching
September 29, 20213 yr Dear Dmitrij! As it comes to the most important skill, ventilation I would recommend the Monivent Neo Training which can be used with most manikins altough a few might need a simple modification to override the leakage they might have. The company has all info. I agree with Erik that very advanced high end manikins not always give so much additional value. My experience is that they are often too advanced=technical problems, difficult to handle, irritations etc. Regards Pontus
September 29, 20213 yr This app might also be helpful in simulating monitors - it is free to download from the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) and available on OS, Android and PC https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aap.vitals&hl=en&gl=US
December 8, 20231 yr Have you ever tried this simulator: https://explain-monitor.com/#/ Tim Antonius, a neonatologist from Nijmegen, built this. Free registration. Extensive features!
