Overview
The Blood Pressure Training System consists of
a full-size adult left arm. This is a versatile training
tool developed to assist health professionals
teach the processes and skills required to
perform blood pressure auscultation procedures
and techniques.
Features
PALPABLE PULSE
Programmable, palpable radial pulse is present
when the cuff pressure is less than the selected
systolic blood pressure.
KOROTKOFF SOUNDS
Korotkoff sounds, K1 through K4 (K5 is silence)
are audible between systolic and diastolic
pressures.
Depending on the selected heart rate and the
rate of cuff delation, the Korotkoff sounds will
adjust automatically.
The sounds are silenced automatically if the
auscultatory gap is enabled.
AUSCULTATION
The simulator operates with a modiied blood
pressure cuff. Connect the BP cuff extension
to the arm’s control panel before use. Use a
conventional stethoscope to auscultate Korotkoff
sounds in the antecubital area.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Follow the instructions listed in the Set Up
section to assemble the simulator.
2. Place the bell of the stethoscope on the
antecubital region of the arm.
3. Pump up the cuff until the radial pulse is
absent.
4. Slowly release the cuff and listen for Korotkoff
sounds.
5. Ask the provider to record the systolic
pressure, the diastolic pressure, the limits of
the auscultatory gap (if any) and the pulse
rate.
6. Compare the values recorded by the provider
with those originally programmed in Omni.
