High-fidelity Manikin

A high-fidelity manikin exhibits the behaviours of a human, which allows for the reproduction of real-life scenarios in a safe learning environment for trainees. High-fidelity manikins are also used for in situ trainings to identify latent threats and improve team communication.

High-fidelity manikins can also simulate a wide range of lifelike physiological and physical findings that train learners to detect and manage clinical changes. These manikins are commonly used for training in critical care and emergency scenarios as well as simulation-based programmes that aim to enhance the non-technical skills of clinical teams.

​A) Full Body Task Trainers

Full-body Task Trainers are able to simulate scenarios that require ECG monitoring and management. They are often used for in situ or laboratory code blue drills as well as clinical scenarios that do not require complex physiological change or manikin verbal responses.

The Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) manikin is used in the training of clinical interventions during a cardiac arrest. The manikin can be used to generate different cardiac arrest rhythms. The interventions that can be performed on the ACLS manikin are Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), intubation, defibrillation and pacing.

​B) Part-task Trainers

A wide range of Part-task Trainers are used to train medical teams for specific clinical skills. Some task trainers available in SIMS include:

• Airway management trainers
  
• Knee aspiration models
• Lumbar puncture simulators
• Obstetrics training task trainers
• Ultrasound central line training models
• Intravenous training arms
• Wound models
• Sternotomy manikins
  
  

C) ​Box Trainers & Minimally Invasive Trainers

Laparoscopy, endoscopy and colonoscopy trainers are available to learners who seek to develop proficiencies and sharpen their clinical skills across a range of basic to advanced surgical procedures in various minimally invasive surgeries.
