Setup for Simulation
Connecting Wounds Kit
SimMan 3G comes with a wounds kit that includes 2 wounds and
double-sided tape to attach wounds to the manikin skin.
Connect wounds to the bleeding ports on the manikin torso to
simulate a bleeding patient.
1 Select a wound from the wound kit.
2 Connect the tube from the wound, to the nearest blood port.
There are four blood ports with
twist and lock connectors, as
Illustrated on the right.
− Ensure the area to which
the wound will be attached
is clean and dry.
− Apply adhesive tape to the
back side of the wound.
− Remove the protective
liner from the adhesive
tape on the wound and fix
it in the desired position on
the skin.
Removing Wounds
Flush all ports and tubes with 60% Isopropanol while the wounds are
still attached. When the fluid runs clear, disconnect the tube from fluid
outlet. After the wound is removed, any tape residue can be cleaned
from the manikin skin with Laerdal Manikin Wipes.
Note: When removing Wounds from the blood ports, cover the
manikin skin with a cloth to prevent staining.
Trauma modules can be purchased separately to replace default
limbs to add realism to simulation.
Simulate Severe Bleeding
Start a Bleeding patient case from the Instructor Application
To extend bleeding patient simulations, a scale factor can be used.
Ensure, when the external Blood fill Unit is empty; replace it with
another Blood fill Unit filled with simulated blood. Repeat this process
for as many times as is necessary.
If the external fill unit runs empty, during a bleeding scenarios, air
will be introduced to the blood system, causing inaccurate reading.
