Improve Your Response to Anaesthetic Emergencies

The Anaesthesia Simulator is a real-time graphical simulator that reproduces the anaesthesia environment on a computer screen. It is the only computer program that can help you prepare for emergency situations in anaesthesia. 

The Anaesthesia Simulator includes dozens of scenarios such as myocardial ischemia, anaphylaxis and malignant hyperthermia. Mathematical models of physiology and pharmacology predict the simulated patient's response to your management while an automated record-keeping system summarizes the case and an on-line consultant provides immediate management suggestions.

The Anaesthesia Simulator has 72 cases with general anaesthetic problems, and cardiac, neuro, trauma, obstetric and paediatric cases and dozens of aesthetic emergencies.

Dozens of anaesthetic emergencies:

• Air embolism
• Anaphylaxis
• Bronchospasm
• Carcinoid
• Diabetic ketoacidosis
• Difficult airway
• Intracranial hypertension
• Latex allergy
• Pheochromocytoma
• Preeclampsia
• Venous air embolism

Cardiac Arrest! Single User - Wins Shipped in 2 to 7 days Cat.# MS-2 $200.00 ADD TO CART Install on 5 Computers Shipped in 2 to 7 days Cat.# MS-2SL1 $620.00 ADD TO CART Install on 10 Computers Shipped in 2 to 10 days Cat.# MS-2SL2 $960.00 ADD TO CART

Sharpening skills at Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) was never so easy - and certainly never so much fun! There are two Cardiac Arrest! multimedia CDs: Managing the Complex Resuscitation (30 patients) and The Paediatric Resuscitation (15 patients).

This is state-of-the-art computer learning. Not "Choose A,B,C" nor "Guess what I'm thinking" but a real simulation that's stimulating and fun.

Patients cover a wide variety of medical problems associated with cardiovascular collapse. (And each patient behaves differently each time resuscitation is attempted.) Many patients pose difficult therapeutic priorities, presenting problems beyond heart attacks, such as hypocalcemia, hypothermia, and hyperkalemia.

Cardiac Arrest! casts you in the role of emergency physician. The patient's history is presented, and the resuscitation efforts begin. You read the ECG on the computer screen, interpret the vital signs and laboratory data, and give treatment orders. ACLS becomes a challenging computer adventure game; but with real sights and real sounds! No "choose A, B, C" type learning here. Over 800 megabytes of adrenaline-pumping reality. Live-action video in a real ER. You've never seen ACLS software like this before. It makes everything else (even the old Cardiac Arrest!) look positively lame.

You watch live-action video of CPR. You see your orders carried out. As you resuscitate the patient, you type treatment orders in plain English, ordering virtually anything you want any way you want. Or if you hate typing, you can use the quick-access buttons for common interventions, or click on a drug or action in the information listings (see Drug Info... and Rx Options upper right corner of the display)

When you believe the patient is stabilized enough for ICU admission, click the "Admit" button....

Having trouble remembering "what comes when" in the ACLS treatment algorithms? Having trouble staying awake studying for the certification test? You need Code Team! - the complete desktop computer ACLS preparation course. Code Team! is three programs: CardioQuiz, EKG Teaching, and ALCS Protocols.

The CardioQuiz portion of Code Team! covers ACLS topics in ten self-teaching quizzes. This is excellent preparation for the written ACLS certification test. The program covers airway management, IV techniques, cardiac drugs, case management priorities, Basic Life Support review, and more. (Note: click on any highlighted text for a sample screen and explanation.)

The EKG Teaching program teaches rhythm strip interpretation with tutorials and quizzes. The program covers normal and abnormal ECG parts and rhythms, with pathology pattern and recognition such as hypercalcemia, hyperkalemia, and hypothermia.

The scenario simulator ACLS Protocols teaches you to apply the American Heart Association's arrhythmia treatment algorithms to clinical situations. The program allows you to select from multiple scenarios, then manage the patient by interpreting the on-screen data and ECGs while entering treatment orders. The program is useful for all who must pass the "megacode" portion of ACLS certification. Among the protocols practiced are asystole, brachychardia with and without pulse, V-tach with and without pulse, V-fib, PAT, endotracheal drugs, and acidosis therapy. teaches you to apply the American Heart Association's arrhythmia treatment algorithms to clinical situations.

Never has mastering multiple-trauma patient treatment skills been so easy. Trauma One! solidifies your approach to the trauma victim. It teaches therapeutic priorities, threshold for action, and completeness of workup.

Trauma One! presents a trauma victim and you begin management. Undertake stabilization measures, obtain historical and physical exam information, order tests, and perform procedures on your patient. See the interventions in the "trauma room" on your computer screen. There are 36 patients.

Meantime, the computer is out to get you. It's looking for weaknesses in your approach - one oversight, and the computer will nail you. It's the best way to learn solid trauma management. It's fun, too.

Trauma One! has a many nice features to help you learn. The patient chart is kept automatically, allowing you to review the treatment flow, lab tests, and x-ray reports.
