Cardiovascular and Respiratory examinations are a core skill that students’ learn early in their training. CaRE is the first trainer of its kind that can take learners from the first stages of this journey, learning individual skills, such as feeling and identifying pulses, through to full representations of a patient presenting with a cardiovascular or respiratory condition.
With the RFID & other technologies incorporated in this manikin, the replications of heart and lung sounds, as well as pulses and breathing movements, give realistic presentations of 31 clinical cases.
Auscultation
CaRE produces 10 lung sounds and 23 heart sounds, ranging from normal, common, and more specialist conditions. This allows the trainer to be used by a wide range of learners, studying at different levels, to practice their techniques.
Designed with realism in mind, the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Exam Trainer includes a “LimbPAD”. Fit the device to any of the commonly used stethoscopes and simply use the stethoscope as normal.
Realism is key
The Cardiovascular and Respiratory Exam Trainer is our most lifelike simulator to date, with features that bring a new dimension to learning.
Variable chest rise – Symmetrical and asymmetrical chest rise can be set to varying rates, patterns and depth. Feeling and visualising this in a patient is a difficult skill, and this feature gives a haptic and visual learning opportunity.
Finger on the pulse – Set a pulse profile with normal or abnormal properties to improve students’ diagnostic skills. Palpable pulse points throughout the body give realistic, and organic, feel.
