Life/form® Blood Pressure Simulator
Blood pressure simulator for teaching physical assessment helping resolve the uncertainties common in teaching students to take blood pressure
The Life/form® Blood Pressure Simulator teaches physical assessment and helps resolve the uncertainties common in teaching students to take blood pressure.
Many times when working with a live patient, pressures are difficult to auscultate, making accurate evaluation of student proficiency almost impossible, and undermining the student’s self-confidence. With this realistic unit, the student can find the preset results and the instructor can unfailingly know if the student has performed the procedure accurately.
- Allows the presetting of values for both systolic and diastolic pressures
- Provides an excellent means to practice listening to and distinguishing blood pressure sounds prior to actual clinical experience.
- Audibly discern the 5 Korotkoff phases
- The electronically generated sounds are digitally recorded
- Optional external speaker
- Palpable radial pulse
- Simple calibration procedure
- Redesigned and durable control unit allows instructor to:
- Adjust pulse rate
- Select systolic and diastolic settings
- Adjust volume
- Turn auscultatory gap on or off
- Easily calibrate unit for use with any sphygmomanometer
- Students can:
- Auscultate Korotkoff sounds with any stethoscope through a speaker in the arm
- Check palpable pulse at the radial site
- Pressures are activated at release valve
- Pump cuff
- Read pressures on sphygmomanometer
- Use normal procedure to place cuff on arm
