M.E.T.I. Human Patient Simulator (HPS)
The HPS is Medical Education Technology Inc’s top-of-the-line, fully automatic, high-fidelity patient simulator specifically designed for training in anesthesia, respiratory and critical care.
What differentiates the HPS from any other simulator available on the market today is its high level of automatic and enhanced features. The HPS is the only patient simulator with the ability to provide respiratory gas exchange, anesthesia delivery, and patient monitoring with real physiological clinical monitors.
Some key features:
- Full-size reproduction of an adult male or female patient with interchangeable genitalia
- Fully operational in supine, sitting, lateral and prone positions
- Demonstrates clinical signs such as heart, breath and bowel sounds, palpable pulses, chest excursion and airway patency, which are dynamically coupled with mathematical models of human physiology and pharmacology
- Realistic adult upper airway (oropharynx, nasopharynx and larynx)
- Direct laryngoscopy and oral or nasal tracheal intubation
- Right or left mainstem endobronchial intubation automatically results in unilateral breath
- sounds and chest excursion
- Esophageal intubation results in gastric distension and the absence of breath sounds,
- chest excursion and carbon dioxide output
- Airway visualization occluder
- Varying degrees of tongue swelling, hindering laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation
- Laryngospasm
- Needle cricothyrotomy, transtracheal jet ventilation, retrograde wire techniques and tube
- cricothyrotomy can be practiced
- Supports standard clinical devices such as combitubes, lighted stylets and fibre-optic intubation tubes
- Spontaneous respiration
- Mechanical ventilation
- Assisted ventilation
- Chest excursion
- Oxygen consumption
- Uptake and elimination of anesthetic gases
- Variable lung and thorax compliance
- Variable airway resistance
- Breath sounds
- Intrapleural volume
- Functional residual capacity
- Heart sounds
- Electrocardiogram
- Palpable carotid, radial, brachial, femoral, popliteal and pedal pulses
- Cardiac output
- Cardiac dysrhythmias
- Arterial blood temperature
- Central venous pressure
- Hemodynamic monitoring
- Pulmonary artery catheter
- Chest compression
- Airway management and ventilation
- Cardiac arrhythmias
- Defibrillation
- Pacing
- Cardioversion
- Cardiovascular and respiratory responses to sympathetic and parasympathetic activities
- Standard peripheral nerve stimulator for twitch response
- Reactive eyes that blink and automatically respond to changing light stimuli simulating neurologic trauma
- Includes library of pre-programmed pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters for over 50 intravenous medications
