Bulging Fontanel
ECG Connectors
Defib Connectors
Pulses

General

Main anatomical features
– Bulging fontanel can be simulated.
– Interchangeable pupils for simulation of three different pupil sizes:
contracted, normal and dilated.
– Anatomically modeled from live babies, the torso demonstrates
normal anatomical surface landmarks.
– SimBaby has correct anatomical landmarks for external chest
compressions. Chest compressions will produce compression
artifacts on the Simulated Patient Monitor and palpable pulse.
– Simulator is equipped with separate defibrillation and ECG
monitoring connectors. The system provides real 3-lead ECG
readings (4 connectors).
– Head tilt and jaw thrust maneuvers can be performed.
Mobility of Joints
Neck: Movement can be on a 3-axis movement of
head. Range of movement can be restricted.
See Airway Features section
Shoulders: 3-axis rotation
Lumbar: 1-axis
Elbows: Fixed, no mobility
Wrists: Fixed, no mobility
Thumbs: Fixed, no mobility
Hip joints: 3-axis rotation
Knees: 1-axis rotation
Ankles: Fixed, no mobility
Note: Do not remove protective bushings at shoulder or lower back.
These are present to protect users from pinch points.

Laerdal Simulation Software

To run a simulation, LLEAP (Laerdal Learning Application) must be
started from Laerdal Simulation Home on the Instructor PC.
Laerdal Simulation Home
Laerdal Simulation Home is an application from where LLEAP and
other Laerdal programs related to patient simulation can be found
and started. The help files can also be opened from here. Laerdal
Simulation Home is located in the Laerdal Medical folder under the
Windows start menu (Windows 7).
Software used in a simulation session comprises the following main
applications:
– LLEAP (Laerdal Learning Application)
– Voice Conference Application
– Patient Monitor
– SimView Server or Session Viewer
In addition SimDesigner and other applications are also used for
designing or preparing a simulation.
LLEAP
LLEAP is the instructor's application from where the simulation
session is run, controlled and monitored. LLEAP can be operated in
Automatic or Manual mode. Automatic mode is used for pre-pro-
grammed scenarios while Manual mode allows the instructor full
manual control of the simulation session. Running simulations in
Manual mode requires some medical expertise to create clinically
sound simulations.
Voice Conference Application (VCA)
The VCA Software allows the instructor to communicate through
the simulator during the session. VCA can also be used to com-
municate with other instructors on a network, and create separate
channels where only members can communicate.
Patient Monitor
The Patient Monitor application emulates a typical hospital patient
monitor. It is the learner's console and can be set up and controlled
by the instructor, as well as by the learner through on-screen touch
menus.
Session Viewer And SimView Server
Session Viewer and SimView Server are applications that record vid-
eo and patient monitor screen captures during simulation, in addition
to providing an interface to debrief your session. After a session is
ended, log files generated in LLEAP are transferred and merged with
the video files in Session Viewer or SimView Server for the debrief.
Session Viewer typically runs locally on the same computer as used
for LLEAP, SimView Server runs on a dedicated server in the local
network. During the first start-up of LLEAP, you are prompted to
select a debriefing system available on your computer or on a local
network. This can be changed later.
FEATURES
Other Applications
There are also other programs that are used in conjunction with
the simulation sessions, for example License Manager for handling
program licenses and Simulator Firmware & Network Fixer for
updating the firmware of the simulators or troubleshooting network
problems.
SimDesigner
The SimDesigner application allows you to configure your own pre-
programmed scenarios. It can also be used to analyze and print out a
graphical representation of a scenario.
SimDesigner must be installed to allow conversion of legacy instruc-
tor application files to LLEAP compatible file formats.
For a full overview of all applications and their help files, start LLEAP
Home.

Simulated Patient Monitor
The Simulated Patient Monitor allows any or all of the patients'
status data (ECG, Heart Rate, Arterial BP waveform, NIBP, Tempera-
ture, SpO , CO , CVP etc.) to be displayed.

Blood System

The blood system includes a blood bag and three tubes with valves
that can be connected to the veins in the arm and both legs. The
"blood pressure" in the system can be altered by moving the blood
bag up or down.
Warning: Never leave the simulator with pressurised air present in
the hose as this may ruin some of the simulators functions.

Airway

Airway and Lungs/Stomach
Airway anatomy:
The infant simulator provides an anatomical realistic upper airway
including:
– Oropharynx
– Nasopharynx
– Laryngopharynx
– Carina
– Trachea
The simulator simulates spontaneous respiration with the
following features:
– Chest rise and fall
– The variable respiratory rate is synchronized to the Simulated
Patient Monitor display and lung sounds
