Located in the state-of-the-art Tulane Center for Advanced Medical Simulation & Team Training, the Human Patient Simulator is a fully interactive, life-sized intubatable mannequin that simulates common problems found in the operating room. Linked to a computer through a host of electro-mechanical equipment, this integration makes the users' experience very realistic.
Computerized mathematical models of human physiology and a feedback-based pharmacokinetics system assist the mannequin in responding in real-time to all user interventions.
The human patient simulator can be connected to a full suite of anesthesia machines, and appropriate scenarios can be programmed. Separate event, drug, and physiologic logs are auto-recorded during usage and can be viewed offline. Read More
