The CAMC Center for Innovation and Simulation Learning offers physicians, residents, medical students, nurses and other health professionals the opportunity for virtual patient experiences. This allows for the practice of treatments and procedures in a realistic scenario, before treating patients.
HiFidelity Manikins
The Center features simulators from the Laerdal Corporation, Gaumard Scientific and the Center for Research in Medical Education.
The easy to use advanced patient simulator by the Laerdal Corporation. The 3G’s are controlled with the LLEAP software and each have a variety of different features, including heart and breath sounds, automatic secretions, quality CPR feedback, seizures and even blinking.
This reliable simulator is also controlled with the LLEAP software, is created by the Laerdal Corporation and offers comprehensive clinical functionality to teach the core skills of airway, breathing, cardiac and circulation management.
SimJunior is an interactive pediatric simulator, designed by Laerdal with the American Academy of Pediatrics to meet the education and training needs of healthcare providers.
Our advanced infant patient simulator by Laerdal is for team training- for routine care to critical emergencies.
This pediatric simulator by Guamard is fully responsive, wireless and has a long list of extra features. He is controlled with his own software on a computer or tablet.
This interactive simulator has been designed by Laerdal and the American Academy of Pediatrics. This manikin is helpful for NRP instruction and has realistic traits and lifelike clinical feedback.
Our state of the art birthing simulator is also controlled with the LLEAP software. She is extremely useful in obstetric training of birth management. She can give birth manually or on automatic mode and simulate a variety of different complications.
The Cardiopulmonary Simulator. This manikin can simulate up to 30 different cardiac diseases. He is complete with heart sounds, breath sounds and pulses. Harvey is often seen in a cardiologist’s classroom.
Another realistic pediatric manikin. While normally used as a static simulator, he has a wide range of abilities. Features include drug administration, IO infusion and a realistic airway.
