Auscultation

The cost of teaching a single medical student the skill of auscultation has become prohibitive for many universities. Teaching hospitals, medical and nursing schools that provide clinical services try to match up students with patients without sacrificing a high level of service. The the high number of burgeoning medical professionals requires a longer timetable for each student to complete their educational requirements.

Your desire to find a technological solution learning a fundamental skill like auscultation can be met by Cardionics. This medical education supplier has worked for years to provide a uniform level of educational quality to every client. From simulators and manikins to electronic stethoscopes and telemedicine auscultation devices, Cardionics simulators and manikins allow instructors to teach multiple students the difficult art of auscultation. Both SAM and the CardioSim auscultation systems will soon be available for students to access on-line.

Educational Auscultation Equipment

The CardioSim VII Digital Heart Sound Simulator provides a highly effective means for teaching cardiac auscultation. Each sound begins with a simple first and second sound, both seen on a computer monitor and heard simultaneously. The clicks, rubs, knocks and snaps are added - one at a time to build up auscultatory complex. Heart rates can be adjusted to rate within the physiological range. Lung sounds can be added to any heart sound where appropriate. Auscultation of patients can be accomplished with the CadioSim as well. Sounds, ECG and pulse can be displayed and recorded. A large databank of simulated and real heart sounds make this the auscultation simulator of choice in a large majority of medical schools in the US and many foreign countries.

To complete the auscultation learning process, the CardioSim can be equipped with an optional Infrared Sound System for auditorium or classroom lectures.
