The acquisition of skills in precise auscultation on a paediatric manikin can be gained through the use of the Heart and Lung Sounds Update Kit. This enhancement is a torso overlay compatible with the MIKE and MICHELLE One-Year-Old Nursing Care Patient Simulator.
Students can develop the ability to identify the exact location where specific sounds should be audible, by using precise anatomical landmarks on the manikin. Correct placement of the stethoscope allows users to hear the intended sound through the provided stethoscope. It can also be connected to external speakers for the whole classroom to hear.
The update kit is an invaluable addition to medical education, especially in clinical skills sessions. Seamless simulation technology allows trainers to teach site-specific heart and lung auscultation skills with ease and precision.
