2. Basic principles of implementation, connections with other disciplines (electromechanical and other analogies)
3. Detailed description and implementation of the selected subsystem model (KVS model, SW)
4. Design and implementation of patient and instrument simulator sub-blocks (solution concept)
5. Examples of circuit implementations of simulators and testers (ECG, EMG, EEG, SpO2, NIBP)
6. Environment, scenario creation and other related procedures in manikin control (examples), basic concepts and principles of anaesthesiology
7. Other types of simulators and phantoms. Possible applications in clinical practice (examples, context)
Seminar contents:
1. Introduction to simulations, familiarization with METI (CAE Healthcare) simulators and the laboratory of the simulated intensive care unit, gas distribution, electrical power supply and backup. Demonstration of the interconnections of the simulator's internal systems. Recapitulation of measured parameters - link to physiology.
2. Practical demonstration - influence of user adjustable functions on patient condition. Connection of the simulator with other medical technology - demonstration of the operation of the vital signs monitor, defibrillator, pulmonary ventilator, connection to the basics of anaesthesiology and resuscitation, connection to pharmacology
3. ECG, SpO2, NIBP simulators. Defibrillator testers, electrical safety testers. Lung simulators, connection to artificial lung ventilation.
4. Implementation of an established simulation scenario, scenario testing, creation of new scenarios (heart failure). MÜSE software environment - introduction
5. Implementation of an established simulation scenario, scenario testing, creation of new scenarios (heart failure). MÜSE SW environment - scenario animation
6. Collaboration between HPS and anaesthesia machine including vital signs monitor + MÜSE SW environment
7. Complex task with HPS and all available devices + MÜSE environment SW + HPS LOG reader, possibilities and consequences after drug administration, use of METIVision for recording and evaluation, use of stored parameters for offline processing.
