When it comes to healthcare education, fully understanding the overall objectives of your program and expected outcomes is what needs to come into consideration when choosing the most suitable fidelity for simulations. Each program has different priorities for their objectives, while each solution has various strengths. Throughout time, healthcare education has evolved, creating numerous
In the healthcare education industry, simulation is used to improve patient safety outcomes by integrating traditional education with practice-based training. Providing learners with a good foundation and hands-on experience is the key to future success in their careers. Simulation in healthcare education has risen significantly over the past two decades due to the continuous
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is sometimes referred to as the “silent killer,” because it often has no symptoms, however it can lead to serious health conditions such as a stroke, heart failure, or sudden death. As hypertension is typically diagnosed as part of a doctor visit, it is crucial for blood pressure to
The current process of teaching blood pressure measurement has some uncertainty when attempting to ascertain the leaner level of comprehension. The standard teaching approach of paring up students to practice blood pressure measurement lacks the ability to assess several key competencies. Students are usually young and healthy so they are typically reporting measurements in
BPSim™ has a unique design that eliminates the need for awkward, bulky simulator arms, or special stethoscopes. Since it is the same size as a standard BP cuff, it is easy to store, and multiple units can be managed without requiring much space. Setup is also much easier when compared to other, more expensive
KbPort™ BPSim™, the industry's most advanced, patented, analog sphygmomanometer simulator, can be used as a skills trainer or used to add realism to high-fidelity simulations or standardized patient scenarios. The high-sensitivity air valve teaches precise air release control; the audio propagation characteristics force proper placement and pressure of the stethoscope; and the programmable blood
Accurate blood pressure measurement is considered one of the most crucial of regular medical tests, yet studies indicate the most common method of blood pressure measurement is often inaccurate. These studies have found participant knowledge inadequate in order to properly perform blood pressure measurement, allowing room for an imperative issue: medical error. Errors in
