Configurable Anatomical Features

Genitalia

The Patient Simulator comes with a neutral genitalia pad as default.
The pad can be changed for a male or female module, both included
with the SimMan 3G System.

See Changing the Genitalia Modules

section

Teeth

Patient Simulator comes with a set of soft teeth as default. These can
be exchanged for a hard set of teeth, included with the

SimMan 3G

System.

Laerdal Simulation Software

To run a simulation, LLEAP (Laerdal Learning Application) must be
started from Laerdal Simulation Home on the Instructor PC.

Laerdal Simulation Home

Laerdal Simulation Home is an application from where LLEAP and
other Laerdal programs related to patient simulation can be found
and started. Also the help files can be opened from here. Laerdal
Simulation Home is located in the Laerdal Medical folder under the
Windows start menu (Windows 7).

Software used in a simulation session comprises the following main
applications:

−

LLEAP (Laerdal Learning Application)

−

Voice Conference Application

−

Patient Monitor

−

SimView Server or Session Viewer

SimDesigner and other applications are also used for designing or
preparing a simulation.

LLEAP

LLEAP is the instructor’s application from where the simulation
session is run, controlled and monitored. LLEAP can be operated
in Automatic or Manual mode. Automatic mode is used for
pre-programmed scenarios while Manual mode allows the instructor
full manual control of the simulation session. Running simulations in
Manual Mode requires some medical expertise to create clinically
sound simulations.

Voice Conference Application

The VCA software allows the instructor to communicate through
the simulator during the session. VCA can also be used to
communicate with other instructors on a network, and create
separate channels where only members can communicate.

Patient Monitor

The Patient Monitor application emulates a typical hospital patient
monitor. It is the learner’s console and can be set up and controlled
by the instructor, as well as by the learner through on-screen touch
menus.

Session Viewer and SimView Server

Session Viewer and SimView Server are applications that record
video and patient monitor screen captures during simulation, in
addition to providing an interface to debrief your session. After a
session is ended, log files generated in LLEAP are transferred and
merged with the video files in Session Viewer or SimView Server for
the debrief.

Session Viewer typically runs locally on the same computer as used
for LLEAP, SimView Server runs on a dedicated server in the local
network. During the first start-up of LLEAP, you are prompted to
select a debriefing system available on your computer or on a local
network. This can be changed later.
