HUMAN PATIENT SIMULATOR

Please visit the Tulane University School of Medicine Center for Advanced Medical Simulation & Team Training, a newly opened state of the art simulation facility in the Tulane School of Medicine's Murphy Building.

The METI Human Patient Simulator is a life size intubatable mannequin linked to a computer through a host of electro-mechanical equipment. This integration of electro-mechanics into the mannequin makes the users experience very realistic.

Computerized mathematical models of human physiology and a feedback based pharmacokinetics system assist the mannequin in responding in realtime to all user's interventions

The human patient simulator can be connected to a full suite of anesthesia machines and appropriate scenarios can be programmed. Separate event, drug and physiologic logs are auto-recorded during usage and can be viewed offline.
