Vital Sign Simulator Description
Being prepared for a medical emergency can make the difference between life and death, especially if you have basic CPR knowledge. But, it is rather difficult to practice these skills on mannequins, since they are only available in specialized medical training facilities. Vital Sign Simulator offers a virtual alternative to this issue, by simulating various emergency situations involving cardiac arrests, low blood pressure and respiratory problems.View the heart rhythm on the built-in ECG monitorThe application displays and simulates a wide array of ECG rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia and atrial flutter. Each of these situations require a different response from the person performing the CPR and they help you learn how to handle such emergencies. Besides the ECG, you can also view a respiratory rate monitor and the blood Oxygen levels. All of this information can be customized to simulate realistic symptoms using the available sliders and options provided by Vital Sign Simulator. Perform CPR using the dedicated training window After you finish customizing the heart rhythm and all the other settings, you can head to the training window and try to stabilize your virtual patient. Here you can use the defibrillator to restore the heart beat back to normal levels and set the pacer to the required rate. The application plays a sound when the defibrillator is charged up and it can also render groans, alarms and the sound of a person vomiting, to enrich your experience and immerse yourself into the situation. In conclusionIt can be very useful to be to learn how to handle yourself in case of a medical emergency, especially if you can do it from the comfort of your own home and at your own pace. Although it is obviously not entirely accurate and should not be completely trusted to simulate real-world situations, Vital Sign Simulator can give you an idea about what to expect. There are no special requirements to use this application, but there are some medical terms that might be unfamiliar to the inexperienced. The general user interface is simple and straightforward, with intuitive button placement and easy-to-reach settings. Reviewed by Alexandru Dulcianu, last updated on July 8th, 2014
