- Two private hospital rooms with functioning air and suction
- Two high-definition cameras in each room
- Area for debriefing with 52" monitor allowing video playback options
High Fidelity Simulation Control Room:
- Allows for computer control and changing of manikins with student knowledge of changes being made
- Allows for observation of simulation without distraction by being in the room
- Allows controller to “speak for the manikin” through wireless microphones
16 Clinical Skills Rooms:
- 16 simulated physician offices, 10 large to accomodate 12-14 students in each room, 6 regular exam rooms
- 2 small exam rooms have one-way viewing glass, allowing for observation without distraction of faculty in the room
- Equipped with exam table, otoscope, opthalmoscope, blood pressure cuff and thermometer mounted on the walls
- Two high-definition cameras in the room
- Includes inside the room computer capabilities for Standardized patient feedback along with computer outside the room for student feedback
Hospital Suite/OR environment:
- Four hospital bed suite to simulate multiple patient room and/or pre-op and postp-op areas with hospital bed, functioning simulated oxygen regulators and suctioning
- Full 600 square foot Operating Room environment including table, lights, monitors, functioning gas, air and power on light towers and anesthesia and gas machines
- OR area can be converted into Emergency medicine trauma bay
- Full bath/commode area including commode, shower and bathtub for student practice with patients having mobility issues
BLINE Medical Control Room:
- Sophisticated computerized audio/video retrieval system
- Allows instructors the options to videotape students exercises
- Remote control of all 38 high definition cameras; two in each Clinical skills rooms, in each simulation room and the hospital suite
- Pre-programmed with instructors materials which can include: patient history, review of materials, work for the day, or other pre-exercise materials
- Pre-programmed for post-exercise instructional materials and/or evaluations to be presented to either the students, standardized patients or both immediately following exercise
- Questionnaires, checklists and evaluation forms are automatically corrected and statistically tabulated and can be reported (of any materials other than short answer questions) in more than 50 different statistical reports, available upon completion.
Various manikins available, (see equipment listing page for complete list):
- Laerdal SimMan and SimMan 3G high-fidelity simulators: Their eyes react to light source,manikin measures effectiveness of CPR, they can breathe, bleed, convulse,urinate, and speak; have an anatomically correct throat area for intubation; and radial, carotid and femoral pulses. Simulators can be programmed to represent any disease or condition, and are programmable to react to treatment performed by students
- Noelle Birthing Simulator: can give breech and normal deliveries, approximately every 30-40 minutes.
- Gaumard Neo-Nat Baby "Hal"
- BabySim-Laerdal Baby Simulator: does everything the adult manikin can do, but is the size of a 6 month old. Simulates loss of oxygen by bluing of the lips.
