Acute cardiological care unit

Module description

Module set in an acute coronary care unit, with the option of transfer to a haemodynamics room. It allows participants to provide comprehensive care for a patient with cardiogenic shock requiring advanced care.

The scenario provides:

• Monitors that simulate multiple heart rhythm disorders (choice of 17 possible heart rhythms).
• Cardiac output monitoring with a Swan-Ganz device (wave visualisation).
• External defibrillator monitoring.
• Drug library with advanced infusion pumps.
• Ventilators with different advanced ventilation modes.
• Intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation.
• Impella CP intracardiac circulation support.
• Cardiopulmonary support system. ECMO.

Comprehensive information:

• Participants communicate with each other and with the patient using real-time voice-chat.
• Avatars available: 4 adults, 3 paediatric and 2 neonatal.
• Different libraries are available: Laboratory tests, image tests, electrocardiograms, etc.
• Possibility of different roles: Simulation facilitator, participant, observer.
• Possibility of interactions with patients and different medical devices.
• Possibility of dynamic physiology of the patient in response to the treatment and the different actions of the participants.
• Possibility of generating multiple cases and sessions simultaneously.
