A breathing simulator for simulating the dynamic breathing patterns is disclosed. The breathing simulator may include: a gas holding chamber capable of expanding and contracting having a movable portion for expanding and contracting the gas holding chamber; a motion imparting mechanism operatively connected to movable portion of the gas holding chamber; a motion control device for controlling the expansion and contraction of the gas holding chamber; and a motion controller in communication with the motion control device. The motion controller includes software thereon, wherein the software contains an algorithm that express the motion of the movable portion of the gas holding chamber in terms of the equations for a circle in a Cartesian coordinate system, wherein the algorithm provides a mathematically-based breathing profile that is executed by the motion control device.

An external defibrillator system includes one or more compression sensors; one or more physiological sensors; and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to: receive and process chest compression signals and physiological signals from the sensors, determine values for chest compression depth and/or chest compression rate based on the received chest compression signals, determine a trend of at least one physiological parameter over a period comprising multiple chest compressions based on the received physiological signals, adjust a target chest compression depth and/or target chest compression rate based on the determined trend of the at least one physiological parameter, compare the determined values for chest compression depth and/or chest compression rate to the adjusted target compression depth and/or the adjusted target compression rate, and provide feedback about the quality of chest compressions performed on the patient.

Cardiac electrograms are recorded in a plurality of channels. Beats are classified automatically into respective classifications according to a resemblance of the morphologic characteristics of the beats to members of a set of templates. Respective electroanatomic maps of the heart are generated from the classified beats.

Medical treatment simulation systems and devices are disclosed. One device includes an overlay, a simulated treatment structure, at least one feedback device, and at least one processor. The overlay is configured to be secured to the live subject and to cover at least a portion of a body of the live subject. The simulated treatment structure is configured to simulate a structure associated with the medical procedure. The at least one feedback device is configured to provide a feedback signal to the live subject. The at least one processor is connected to the simulated treatment structure and the at least one feedback device. The processor is programmed to operate the feedback device to provide the feedback signal based upon input generated from interaction between a treatment provider and the simulated treatment structure. The disclosed devices may be used to simulate intravenous, catheter, defibrillation, and/or thoracic treatments.

In an aspect, an apparatus for procedural training is presented. An apparatus includes at least a processor and a memory communicatively connected to at least a processor. A memory contains instructions configuring at least a processor to receive optical data from a sensor in electronic communication with the at least a processor. At least a processor is configured to determine a procedural performance parameter as a function of optical data. At least a processor is configured to compare a procedural performance parameter to a procedural performance threshold. At least a processor is configured to display procedural training feedback through a display unit as a function of a comparison.

A system for assisting a rescuer with treatment of a patient is described. An example system includes a mobile computing device that includes a user interface and a processor coupled to memory. The processor is configured to cause the user interface to prompt the rescuer to select a proficiency level from among multiple proficiency levels including a basic proficiency level and at least one non-basic proficiency level. The basic proficiency level includes basic resuscitation instructions for the rescuer. The system is further configured to receive an input from the rescuer of the selected proficiency level. The system provides, if the rescuer selects the basic proficiency level, the basic resuscitation instructions to the rescuer, and provides, if the rescuer selects the at least one non-basic proficiency level, non-basic instructions to the rescuer. The system transmits signals to control a defibrillator according to the selected proficiency level.

The present invention relates generally to a device and a method that maintains an individual's body temperature during exposure to cold conditions or cold water and, more specifically, to an insulative rescue cap that clearly provides instructions and teachings of how to correctly perform emergency medical procedures, namely CPR. The cap is contoured to the individual's head.

Disclosed is a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recorded with a cardiopulmonary resuscitation training program executable by a processor of an information processing apparatus, the cardiopulmonary resuscitation training program causing the processor to perform operations including evaluating a posture of a person who is performing chest compressions, based on posture information indicating the posture obtained from a posture detection apparatus and ideal posture information indicating an ideal posture for the chest compressions stored in a storage unit, to yield an evaluation result, and displaying the evaluation result on a display apparatus.

Disclosed herein are anatomic models that comprise components that simulate canine components. The models may be used for development, experimentation, or training in the field of orthopedic surgical devices, and/or implant devices. The models may also be used for training of students in the veterinarian field for procedures performed in practice.

An airway simulation system includes a simulated airway having a hollow body defining a passageway therein with a first portion and a second portion. The second portion includes a bifurcated section having a left branch section and a right branch section and connects to the first portion at the distal end of the first portion. The simulated airway includes at least one orifice defined along the hollow body and in communication with at least one pressure transducer. One branch of the left branch section and the right branch section is configured to receive airflow from a distal end, and the other of the left branch section and the right branched section includes a cap at a distal end to prevent airflow from being received by the distal end of the capped branch. A method for simulating a human airway is also disclosed.
