Running a Session in Auto Mode
Launch the Instructor Application, open an Auto Mode patient case and start the session as described in
Opening an Auto Mode Patient
Case .
MONITOR AND ADJUST PATIENT PARAMETERS DURING SIMULATION
Throughout the simulation session, the instructor should monitor and control the patient’s status as exhibited by the Manikin. The
severity of symptoms can be modified using the master patient controls.
Move the appropriate slider to the left to decrease the severity of the symptoms exhibited by the Manikin, or to the right to increase
severity. Click the appropriate restore button to restore the Manikin to its original state.
Patient status and simulation progress are displayed in the following areas:
The Simulation control graph shows the patient status in terms of past, current and predicted future trends throughout the simulation.
The timer shows the time elapsed since the start of the simulation.
The Instructor’s Patient monitor shows the patient’s current vital signs and clinical parameters.
The patient status and the <Airway status> window provide at-a-glance data about the patient’s current status.
MONITOR AND REGISTER LEARNER EVENTS DURING SIMULATION
As the learner responds to the patient case, the instructor should register Learner events as they are performed using the <Common
Learner Events> list and/or the <Learner Events menu>.
Some events are registered automatically by the SimMan Essential Manikin. These events are highlighted blue and are marked with a
wireless manikin icon.
Common Learner Events
The ‘Common Learner events’ window lists the required events/learning objectives for the selected patient case. To register that a
learner has performed an event, click the relevant item in the list.
A check-mark appears to the left of the item when it has been registered.
Learner Events Menu
The Learner events menu contains all Learner events. To register that a learner has performed an event using the Learner events menu:
• Click the relevant body part of the clickable Manikin figure and select the event from the drop down list.
