Definitions
A life-sized human like simulator representing a patient for healthcare simulation and education
Manikin (or Mannequin)
This is what the acronym PTZ stands for:
Pan Tilt Zoom
IV arms, central line trainers, and airway heads are all examples of this simulation modality.
This is the leaf-shaped flap in the throat that prevents food from entering the wind pipe and lungs.
Epiglottis
This Stanford Anesthesia Faculty member is known as The Godfather of medical simulation.
David Gaba (or Dr. Gaba)
The makeup and molds applied to humans or manikins used to portray lesions, skin findings, bleeding, and traumatized areas
Moulage
This AV cable transmits high definition video and multi-channel audio simultaneously in one cable.
HDMI
This is the order in which Laerdal recommends powering on the mannequin and 2 computer connected devices (instructor and patient monitor PCs).
Simulator, Instructor PC, Monitor (SIM)
This medical terminology means vomiting of blood.
These are the statements that define the expected goal of a curriculum, course, lesson or activity in terms of demonstrable skills or knowledge that will be acquired by a student as a result of instruction.
Learning objective (or learning outcome).
A formal, collaborative, reflective process within the simulation learning activity.
Debriefing
This type of IP address is automatically assigned by a DHCP server.
Dynamic IP address (or Dynamic)
SimBaby (New) (or Cheech)
According to the ACLS Cardiac Arrest Algorithm, these are the two types of shockable rhythms.
Ventricular Fibrillation and Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia (or VF and pulseless VT)
New Orleans, LA (or Nola).
A feeling (explicit or implicit) within a simulation-based activity that participants are comfortable participating, speaking up, sharing thoughts, and asking for help as needed without concern for retribution or embarrassment.
Psychological Safety
This audio hardware creates a more powerful version of the audio signal by modulating the amplitude of the sound signal.
Amplifier (or Amp)
When activating this airway complication on SimMan 3G in the LLEAP interface, it causes the mannequin to have lock jaw.
Trismus
According to 2015-2020 AHA guidelines, this is the range of compression depth for adults and children during CPR.
2.0-2.4 inches (or at least 2 inches)
This is the name of the first computer controlled patient simulator developed in 1966 by Dr. Stephen Abrhamson.
Sim One
The ability to impart the suspension of disbelief to the learner by creating an environment that mimics that of the learner’s work environment.
Realism
This networking hardware facilitates the sharing of resources by connecting together all the devices, including computers, printers, and servers, in a small network.
Network Switch (or hub, or bridge, or MAC bridge)
This is the highest amount of joules a Zoll R-series ALS defibrillator can provide in a single shock.
200 joules
These are the 2 most common neuromuscular blocking agents used in rapid sequence intubation (RSI).
Succinylcholine and Rocuronium (or sux and roc).
The highest level of a simulation modality, in which multiple modalities are combined to enhance realism.
Hybrid simulation
