ALMOST REAL, THE SIMMAN IS A VIRTUAL PATIENT FOR CHENNAI’S MEDICAL STUDENTS TO WORK ON
Being inside an emergency room, watching a group of doctors pump life back into a man who has suffered a massive cardiac arrest can be disturbing. The atmosphere is tense, and there in intense pressure on the ram that is doing everything it can to resuscitate the patient’s breathing. In a matter of minutes, though, things settle down, and the doctors heave a sigh of relief. This, despite the fact that the patient sprawled in the bed is actually a mannequin. But hey ‘ SimMan™ , as the patient is called, looks unnervingly real. A tall, well-built man (or woman, the genitals can be changed) , the virtual patient can be simulated to perform “actual patient care scenarios” that help students hone their life-saving skills. |
