INTRODUCTION
SimMan Essential Bleeding Patient
Simulator
For Clinical Simulation
SimMan Essential Bleeding is a patient simulation system that
facilitates training of Basic and Advanced Life Support. This system
allows the instructor to effectively assess the learner’s individual and
team skills based on realistic clinical situations.
SimMan Essential Bleeding allows observation and recognition of
most vital signs. This is achieved through direct interaction with the
Patient Simulator and observation of the Patient Simulator’s status
which can also be viewed on the Patient Monitor PC (optional).
The SimMan Essential Bleeding Simulation
System Features Include:
– An advanced configurable airway - allowing simulation of difficult
airway management cases.
– Eyes with interchangeable pupils and adjustable blinking function.
– Focus on Quality CPR (QCPR): measurement and feedback
according to the 2005 and 2010 Guidelines.
– Vascular Access (intra-osseous) via the left tibia.
– Internal urine bladder which can be filled with fluid to simulate
urine.
– Bleeding and Wound Modules fed from an internal blood
reservoir. An external Blood Fill Unit may be connected for
extended bleeding cases.
– Automatic Simulation Control based on preprogrammed and
validated Patient Cases.
WLAN Communication
Communication between the SimMan Essential Bleeding Patient
Simulator and the PCs is based on WLAN communication. The
Patient Simulator and PCs can also be connected to a LAN cable
network, and WLAN disabled.
The Main Components of the SimMan Essential
Bleeding
SimMan Essential Bleeding is an adult life-size wireless Patient
Simulator, with internal battery power, internal air compressor and
fluid reservoirs. Interventions by learners are registered by the
system in the session log, and used for later debriefing.
The Instructor PC controls the simulation. The headset allows the
instructor to simulate interactive voice communication between the
patient and the learner.
Software available for use with the simulator includes LLEAP for
controlling scenarios, SimDesigner for creating and editing scenarios,
SimView server or SessionViewer for debriefing simulation sessions
with video capture and a Patient Monitor application.

Laerdal Simulation Software
To run a simulation, LLEAP (Laerdal Learning Application) must be
started from Laerdal Simulation Home on the Instructor PC.
Cautions and WarningsFeaturesSetupMaintenanceSpare PartsTroubleshooting
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. Also the help files can 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 Ser ver 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
preprogrammed 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.
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: 3-axis rotation
Thumbs: Free mobility
Hip joints: 3-axis rotation
Knees: 1-axis rotation
Ankles: 1-axis rotation
Note: Do not remove protective bushings at shoulder or lower back.
These are present to protect users from pinch points.
Voice Conference Application (VCA)
The VCA Software allows the instructor to communicate
through the simulator during the session. VCA can also be used
to communicate 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
video 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.
7
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 Wizard for
updating the firmware of the simulators or troubleshooting network
problems.
SimDesigner
The SimDesigner application allows you to configure your own
preprogrammed 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
instructor application files to LLEAP compatible file formats.
For a full overview of all applications and their help files, start LLEAP
Home.

Airway Features
The airway is anatomically modeled as far as the bronchia.
The airways can be manipulated by a learner:
− Head tilt/Chin lift
− Jaw thrust with articulated jaw
− Cricoid pressure and manipulation
− Suctioning (oral & nasopharyngeal)
If the tongue fallback feature is enabled, head tilt is required to open
the airways for mask ventilations. The Patient Simulator may be
ventilated by normal and emergency methods:
Use of a malleable stylet is recommended - make sure it does not
extend beyond the ET tube.
Recommended styles:
− i-Gel
− Fiberoptic intubation
− Combitube (size small adult is suitable)
− Retrograde intubation
− Needle cricothyrotomy
− Surgical cricothyrotomy
The following Patient Simulator features indicate incorrect
tube placement:
− Right main stem intubation – unilateral chest rise
− Stomach distention
− Lack of chest sounds, CO

Configurable Airway Features
Patient Simulator features may be configured to present various
airway Scenarios:
− The airway may be closed automatically or manually. There are 2
settings of airway resistance: On/Off
− Tongue edema - multiple levels
− Phar yngeal swelling
− Lar yngospasm
− Decreased cer vical range of motion
− Trismus
− Teeth - soft upper dentures may be replaced with a hard set of
teeth for enhanced realism while practicing intubations.
− Bag-mask ventilation
− Orotracheal intubation
− Nasotracheal intubation
− Transtracheal intubation
Prior to using airway adjuncts, apply a small amount of Laerdal
Airway Lubricant to the equipment. Do not spray lubricant directly
into the airway,
The following equipment or methods are suitable to secure
the Patient Simulator’s airway:
− Lar yngeal mask airways: The airways are designed for use with
size #4, but size #5 may also seal correctly.
− Endotracheal tube intubation, Size ID 7.5 - 8.5 is suitable, but
using the smaller size reduces wear of the Patient Simulator’s
airways.
During simulation, the following conditions can be set:
− Can’t intubate/can ventilate
− Can’t intubate/can’t ventilate
The following information is automatically registered in the
SimMan Essential Bleeding simulation session:
− Detection of proper head position.
− Jaw Thr ust
− Pneumothorax decompression
− Ventilations
− Stomach distension
Note: In LLEAP the airway and breathing status for the current
simulator is shown in a window. Settings for lung resistance can be
made. See LLEAP Help for further information.

Pneumothorax
Tension pneumothorax with
needle decompression can be
performed at bilateral mid
clavicle line, 2nd intercostal
space. The Pneumothorax
Bladders may be pierced +/-10
times, the pressure inside the
bladder will drop after repeated
puncturing.
A 22 (or smaller) gauge
needle is recommended for
decompression of the chest.
Using a smaller gauge needle
increases the longevity of the
Chest Skin and bladders.
However, a too small gauge prevents automatic detection of the
decompression event in the simulation model.
Chest Tube Insertion
Chest tube insertion can be
simulated. Exploration and cut
can be made at left or right
mid-axillary line in the 4th and
5th intercostal space.
