CaRe Cardiovascular and Respiratory Examination Trainer

Cardiovascular and Respiratory examinations are a core skill that students’ learn early in their training. CaRE is the first trainer of its kind that can take learners from the first stages  of this journey, learning individual skills, such as feeling and identifying pulses, through to full representations of a patient presenting with a cardiovascular or respiratory condition.

With the RFID & other technologies incorporated in this manikin, the replications of heart and lung sounds, as well as pulses and breathing movements, give realistic presentations of 31 clinical cases.

Realism is key

The Cardiovascular and Respiratory Exam Trainer is our most lifelike simulator to date, with features that bring a new dimension to learning.

Variable chest rise – Symmetrical and asymmetrical chest rise can be set to varying rates, patterns and depth. Feeling and visualising this in a patient is a difficult skill, and this feature gives a haptic and visual learning opportunity.

Finger on the pulse – Set a pulse profile with normal or abnormal properties to improve students’ diagnostic skills. Palpable pulse points throughout the body give realistic, and organic, feel.

• Realistic thrills at all heart valve locations
• Visual and palpable representation of heaves
• Normal and displaced apex beat
• Normal and displaced trachea and larynx

Simple user controls for students and teachers

Connect your device wirelessly to the CaRE Examination Trainer to control all aspects of the model. Students can test and refresh their knowledge, while teachers can challenge their students’ skills with bespoke characteristics.

Skills section – practice individual skills, including: heart auscultation, lung auscultation, breathing rates, Pulse rates and character, apex beats, thrills, heaves, and mouth sounds.

Clinical cases – capitalises on the patent pending performance of the pulses, lung & heart movement, mouth sounds and chest movements.

Assessment mode – teachers can make class assessments based on the clinical cases, patient history are customisable and make for perfect self-directed learning.

Lesson plans – create individual plans with selected skills, cases and assessments for structured lessons and self-directed learning.
