A method and associated apparatus for simulating neuromuscular stimulation in real time during simulated medical surgery using a manikin, such as ulnar nerve stimulation to detect the degree of neuromuscular blockade and external stimulation of nerves to produce evoked potentials so as to monitor the integrity of nerves during surgery is provided. Such simulation allows for the active participation of trainees with the simulation apparatus to experience real world medical procedures in a setting that closely mimics the real world.

An apparatus and method for detecting and identifying a drug administered in real time in an integrated patient simulator uses a manikin which receives the administration of the drug. A bar code is affixed to an implement for administering the drug, wherein the implement is an intravenous drip bag or a syringe. A scanner is used to scan the bar code to identify the type and concentration of the drug contained within the implement. The information obtained by the scanner is then used by a computer associated with the patient simulator to effect a response in the manikin.

434268

An apparatus and method for injecting and volatilizing a volatile drug in a patient simulator, including a manikin, a gas supply and a drug volatilization device. The drug volatilization device includes a thermal conductor defining a gas propagation cavity, a sintered insert, and a needle accepting cavity. A simulated response to the drug is calculated, and an output device associated with the manikin is actuated to simulate the effect of the drug.

434268

A method and an apparatus for quantifying the amount of fluid administered to a patient simulator during simulated medical surgery. A fluid administered to a manikin and delivered to a reservoir associated with the manikin. The quantity of fluid administered is determined based on the change of weight of the reservoir. A simulated response to the administered fluid can be computed, based on the determined quantity of fluid administered.

434265

An apparatus and method for simulating bronchial resistance or dilation in real time in an integrated patient simulator during simulated medical procedures is realized by a manikin having a simulated trachea and a simulated lung, a conduit interconnecting the simulated trachea and the simulated lung for propagating a flow of gas, and a restricting device for variably restricting the flow of gas through the conduit. The restricting device includes a nautilus shaped cam and a stepper motor for rotating the cam such that a selected surface of the cam is disposed within a opening in the conduit so as to continuously vary the size of the opening.

434268

Method and apparatuses for simulating life support procedures in real-time using a mannequin. The apparatuses and methods are operable for a number of therapeutic interventions and provide for a number of appropriate simulated physiological and pharmacological responses. Included interventions are chest displacement, the application of gas pressure to the upper airway, inspiratory gas composition, administration of a fluid, or administration of intravenous drugs. These interventions provide a variety of appropriate responses (and misapplication of an intervention by a trainee provides a corresponding appropriate response).

A self-regulating, simulated lung for use in real time in simulated medical procedures comprises at least one bellows capable of receiving and expelling gas, a means for actuating the bellows depending upon a time- and event-based script, a computer model or a combination thereof, at least one mass flow controller capable of directing the gas into the bellows, and a volumetric pump for continuously expelling a constant flow rate of gas from the bellows. The means for actuating the bellows comprises a double acting piston connected to the bellows and having a first constant pressure and a second variable pressure acting on respective sides of the piston, whereby non-linear compliances may be simulated.
