This is an annotated listing of
web sites for programs which presently use large-scale anesthesia patient simulators. Interactive simulations of human patient medical situations
including ACLS and anesthesia simulation "bring to life"
realistic patient care scenarios to teach doctors, nurses, and
technicians at all levels. These highly interactive patient-care
simulators provide enhanced initial, refresher, and sustainment training for
medical personnel.
Barts and the London Medical Simulation Centre-
St Bartholomew's Hospital West Smithfield London EC1A 7BE. The technique of using a training device that artificially duplicates conditions likely to be encountered in the real world is very powerful.
Bristol Medical Simulation Centre- (University
of Bristol, England) Offers the opportunity to experience and respond to
a wide variety of realistic medical scenarios at one of the most
advanced training centres in the world.
Combat Trauma Patient Simulator-(US Army),
Combat Trauma Patient Simulator (CTPS): Integrates the training &
analysis of medical personnel in treatment processes with military
force-on-force exercises, creating a realistic and complete battlefield
environment
Medical College of Georgia-Nursing Anesthesia Simulation Laboratory. The HPS allows us to train students to manage emergencies in a safe, controlled, and replicable environment.
Mount
Sinai School of Medicine Anesthesia Human Simulation Center -(New
York), The Department of Anesthesiology at The Mount Sinai Medical
Center has the distinction of being the first Beta test site and the
only medical center in the metropolitan tri-state area to possess a
Human Patient Simulator..
Other Simulation Sites-Extensive directory of
worldwide simulation centers, contact information and simulator type
used.
Penn State Human Patient Simulator- Users can
interact with the patient by doing physical examinations, manipulating
the
airway, performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and
defibrillation, making pharmacologic interventions, and performing
trauma procedures...
SESAM-Society in Europe for Simulation Applied
to Medicine.
Stanford
University Anesthesia Simulator Center- Simulation Center for Crisis
Management Training in Health Care), this site offers an interesting
history about the modern hands-on anesthesia simulator which was
invented at Stanford by David M. Gaba, M.D. as well as extensive
information and resources.
Uniformed Services University of the Health
Sciences- Collaborative project between the National Naval Medical
Center’s Department of Anesthesiology and the Uniformed Services
University of the Health Sciences’ Departments of Anesthesiology,
Physiology, and Anatomy..
