2. Create sub patterns.
– Input a sub pattern duration by clicking in the dialogue boxes
underneath the Sub pattern duration heading and typing in a
number.
Note:
If the same number is inputted into both dialogue
boxes, the sub pattern will always last for the same amount
of time. If different numbers are inputted into the dialogue
boxes, the pattern will last for a random duration that is never
less than the smallest number or more than the greatest
number. For example, if the display reads “Between 60 and 60
seconds,” the sub pattern will always last one minute. However,
if the display reads “Between 60 and 180 seconds,” the sub
pattern will last a random duration between 1 and 3 minutes.
Varying the numbers is a way to introduce a greater degree of
randomness into the simulation.
– Set Fetal heart rate pattern parameters for the sub pattern by
sliding toggles and/or typing numbers into appropriate dialogue
boxes.
– Click the < New > button to start on a new sub pattern.
– Repeat step 2 for each required sub pattern.
Note:
To move sub patterns around in the simulation, click
on it under the Sub pattern menu and press the < Up > or
<
Down
> button. To delete a sub pattern from the simulation,
press < Remove >. To make a copy of a sub pattern, press
<
Save as
>.
3. Click < OK > to save the composite fetal heart rate pattern.
The saved composite preset should appear in the Select present tab
under the fetal heart pattern menu.
Patient Monitor
The optional Patient Monitor has a Touchscreen display and is used to
simulate a real patient telemetry monitor .
Video capture from the patient monitor display and the web camera
can be stored for use in the Debrief Viewer.
The Patient Monitor must remain connected throughout the
simulation in order to record video of the patient monitor for debrief
files.
