The HAL® S315.200 is a Gaumard® manikin designed to help teach site-specific heart and lung auscultation skills using seamless simulation technology. Simply press the bell against the skin and listen. The students use realistic and palpable anatomic landmarks on the manikin to locate the site where a specific sound should be heard. If correct, they will hear the appropriate sound through the stethoscope and/or external speakers.
The amazing technology that simulates the various heart and breath sounds is hidden within the stethoscope bell itself. There are no bulky boxes or transmitters, making it easy to use and realistic. Simply press the bell against the simulator’s skin at the correct anterior or posterior auscultatory site and listen to the corresponding sound. The VS100/VS105 include a reference key card that indicates the auscultatory sites locations and the sound types available. Additionally, the package includes a set of optional loudspeakers useful when teaching an audience.
Venous Hum -
This continuous murmur may be found in children aged 3 to 6 years. It occurs as a result of the turbulence in the jugular venous system and is only heard when the child is in the upright position. The rate is about 96 beats per minute.
Aortic Stenosis -
This systolic murmur is loudest over the ascending aorta. Duration and intensity vary with the severity of stenosis. An ejection click may be heard.
Split S2 -
Sounds are rather normal. Degree of splitting increases with the inspiration and decreases with the expiration. Wide split suggests prolonged RV ejection or shortened LV ejection; narrow split suggests early closure of pulmonary valve.
