Skills
- Familiarity with the abdominal regions and underlying anatomy
- Practice in abdominal palpation, auscultation and percussion
- Ability to recognize and differentiate a range of abnormal organs and pathologies
- Identification of ascites, specifically shifting dullness and fluid thrill
- Identification of gaseous distension and bowel obstruction
- Ballottement of kidneys
- Patient communication
Features
- Trainer or Simulated Patient can vary respiratory movement of liver and spleen by the turn of a wheel
- Integral amplifier and surface mounted MP3 player allow training in auscultation of normal and high-pitched or obstructed bowel sounds, renal and aortic bruits - in variable locations
- Volume of bowel sounds can be adjusted and MP3 player allows for additional sounds to be loaded
- Distension set allows for the following: realistic checking for ascites using percussion, shifting dullness or fluid thrill technique and simulation of bowel obstruction on percussion and auscultation
- Pulse bulb allows simulation of normal and aneurysmal aortic pulse
- Organs feel realistic on palpation and respond appropriately to percussion
- Lifelike quality of abdominal skin accommodates stretching for gaseous distension and ascites simulation
- Realistic ballottement of enlarged kidney
- Abdominal skin is simple to remove, allowing quick and easy changeover of organs
- Suitable for both bench top use and hybrid use with simulated patient
- Model can be rolled onto side for examination of ascites and shifting dullness
