Students must learn where the base heart sound may be best heard or where the bell should be placed to hear stridor or wheezing in a young child. Site specificity is obtained through an exciting new “wireless” technique in which the student uses anatomic landmarks on the manikin to locate the site where a specific sound should be heard. If correct, they will hear the appropriate sound through the stethoscope and/or external speakers. Now you make the choice. Buy a new site specific simulator or upgrade your existing Gaumard® manikin. Upgrading is a terrific way to further enhance your Gaumard® simulator.
S315.200 HAL® Adult Heart and Lung Sounds
The amazing technology that simulates the various heart and breath sounds is hidden within the stethoscope bell itself. There are no bulky boxes or transmitters, making it easy to use and realistic. Simply press the bell against the simulator’s skin at the correct anterior or posterior auscultatory site and listen to the corresponding sound. The VS100/VS105 include a reference key card that indicates the auscultatory sites locations and the sound types available. Additionally, the package includes a set of optional loud speakers useful when teaching an audience.
