The Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing recently acquired a new pediatric patient simulator, “Pedia-Sim,” which provides nursing students at the Treasure Coast campus the opportunity to apply their knowledge of pediatric clinical situations in a low-risk, controlled environment.
This state-of-the-art simulator, created by Medical Education Technologies, Inc. (METI), is comprised of a life-like manikin that interfaces with a computer to simulate a 6-year-old childs responses. Pedia-Sim can recognize and respond to nursing interventions and medications, and has many human physical traits such as a heartbeat and pulse. It can also blink, breath and cry. Students can practice many scenarios on the manikin, such as treating a child experiencing an asthma attack.
