HUMAN PATIENT SIMULATORฎ
Meet
Stan (Standard Man), the Man who saves more lives.
At every level of patient care, hands-on experience is the
best teacher. The Human Patient Simulator (HPS) – a
computer-model-driven, full-sized mannequin – delivers
that experience in true-to-life scenarios that swiftly change
to meet instructors’ goals. The ultra sophisticated
and highly versatile HPS blinks, speaks and breathes, has
a heartbeat and a pulse, and accurately mirrors human responses
to such procedures as CPR, intravenous medication, intubation,
ventilation, and catheterization.
How is this possible? Through a painstaking marriage of “high
touch” with “high tech,” this dramatically
functional mannequin exhibits clinical signals so lifelike
that students have been known to cry when it “dies.”
Add to this a profound array of intricately programmed systems
– cardiovascular, pulmonary, pharmacological, metabolic,
genitourinary (male and female), and neurological –
and you have an easily controlled teaching laboratory where
students can practice again and again, until the highest-quality
patient care becomes second nature.
The HPS is METI's top-of-the-line, fully automatic, high-fidelity patient simulator specifically
designed for training in anesthesia, respiratory and critical care.
What differentiates the HPS from any other simulator available on the market today, is it's high level of automatic and enhanced features. The HPS is the only patient simulator with the ability to provide respiratory gas exchange, anesthesia delivery, and patient monitoring with real physiological clinical monitors.
KEY FEATURES:
1. Pupils that automatically dilate and constrict in response to light
2. Thumb twitch in response to a peripheral nerve stimulator
3. Automatic recognition and response to administered drugs and drug dosages
4. Variable lung compliance and airways resistance
5. Automatic response to needle decompression of a tension pneumothorax, chest tube drainage and pericardiocentesis
6. Automatic control of urine output
"Students see it, hear it, breathe it and live it with the patient. It's really a valuable tool."
Joann Sullivan-Mann, Associate Professor of Nursing
In hospitals, medical and nursing schools, community colleges and military bases all over
the world, METIs Human Patient Simulatorฎ (HPS) is recognized as the gold standard
for healthcare education. This fully automatic, high fidelity simulator is specifically
designed for training in anesthesia, respiratory and critical care. Its the only simulator
available with the ability to provide respiratory gas exchange, anesthesia delivery and
patient monitoring with real physiological clinical monitors.
MEDICAL SIMULATION SAVES LIVES
Training health care professionals is no easy task: the challenge is far too complex and
too important to be left to the task trainers of yesterday. Only in the aviation industry
can you find a valid comparison to the healthcare fields life-and-death necessity for
rapid response, combined with unerring knowledge,
skill and teamwork. For both pilots and healers,
its an inescapable dilemma: where mistakes happen,
lives can be lost. So it was no coincidence when
computer simulation as a primary learning tool made
the evolutionary leap from ultra-engineered flying
machines to the natural intricacies of the human body.
But medical education called for entirely new
simulation models, given the complexity of human
physiology and pharmacology and the wide range
of possible therapeutic interventions. Thats why
METI Human Patient Simulators have at their core
sophisticated mathematical models of human physiology cardiovascular, respiratory,
neurological and pharmacologic that imitate human response in multi-layered, real-time
ways that are vital to a truly objective learning experience. No other product in the world
comes close to offering this unique technology.
Youre in Complete Control:
The HPS sets a new standard in medical education
that has yet to be matched. Through a painstaking
marriage of high touch with high tech, this
dramatically functional simulator delivers an easily
controlled teaching laboratory where students can
practice again and again, until the highest quality
patient care becomes second nature.
PATIENTS:
Quality of care can be difficult to
measure when no two patients are alike. With
the HPS, any patient profile can be created
or modified from preconfigured profiles to offer
a specific set of exacting objectives that test the
limits of learners. The patients cardiovascular,
pulmonary and neurologic characteristics and
responses right down to the flutter of an eyelid
or the size of a pupil can be controlled.
SIMULATIONS:
Because the HPS is model-driven,
just about anything that can happen to a real
patient from common problems to severe events,
such as malignant hyperthermia, anaphylaxis,
tension pneumothorax and cardiac tamponade
can be simulated and tailored.
DRUGS:
Learning to administer the right drug
in the right dosage to the right patient requires
knowledge and experience. Using barcode tech-
nology, the HPS requires learners to scan a given
drug allowing the instructor and learner the ability
to track the thought process as it pertains to the
development of a plan of care. This forces learners
to evaluate key factors prior to administering the
drug, including: drug specificity, pediatric versus
adult dosages, IV versus oral administration, and
any specific drug allergy considerations.
