Show PageS Ohm times Thursday, July 17,2008 8 ll ii I UVU nursing program has state-of-the-art patient simulator simula-tor UVU's nursing program recently purchased an iStan high fidelity patient simulator, a state-of-the-art mannequin that's as close to a patient as it can be without a reaJ human heart. Human simulators produce human body sounds, including sounds made by the heart and lungs. They also have pulses, so students can learn to take blood pressure. The iStan model features fea-tures breath sounds that can be heard on its back, internal programming pro-gramming that reacts with the treatment the nursing student gives it and even has the capability capa-bility to transmit sound from microphones, so that nursing instructors can talk through the simulator and interact with the students like a real patient. "We can make scenarios to have the students care for almost any condition they will see in a hospital," said Gary Measom, associate professor of nursing. The LStan was purchased with money from a Perkins Grant and from the Nursing Department, De-partment, and joins one other high fidelity simulator. "The simulators work a little differently, so students can have different types of experiences," experi-ences," said Measom. "We also have three other simulators that do not have the capabilities of the high fidelity ones." UVU's Nursing Department is the only program in Utah, either academic or hospital, with an LStan simulator. To learn more about the iStan, visit www.meti.comproductsps Lstan.
