Key Features
Software Cartridge: This product is a small, portable software module that plugs into a compatible Heart and Breath Sounds Simulator unit. The product number "WPL5356" is associated with the sound menu, while the "Ms2M-160" is the product code for the specific sound content.
Realistic Bowel Sounds: It contains a library of 16 pre-recorded bowel sounds, which are actual patient sounds. This allows students to listen to and differentiate between various normal and abnormal sounds, such as normal, hypoactive, hyperactive, and absent bowel sounds.
Interactive Simulation: When used with the Heart and Breath Sounds Simulator, this menu allows an instructor to select specific bowel sounds for students to auscultate using an electronic stethoscope.
Anatomical Accuracy: The sounds are played through an external sounder that is placed on a manikin or a student's abdomen in the correct anatomical location, ensuring that students learn proper placement and technique.
Volume Control: The core simulator unit's volume control can be used to adjust the loudness of the sounds, allowing for a more realistic training experience.
Scalability: The system is designed to allow multiple students (up to 15 or more, with additional sounders) to auscultate the same sound simultaneously, making it ideal for group training sessions.
Key Uses
Auscultation Training: The primary use is in medical and nursing schools to teach students how to identify and distinguish a variety of bowel sounds. This is a fundamental skill for physical examinations and patient assessment.
Patient Assessment: The product allows students to practice correlating sounds with a patient's potential clinical condition, such as a bowel obstruction (indicated by hyperactive sounds) or peritonitis (indicated by absent sounds).
Standardized Training: By using a standardized set of sounds, the simulator ensures that all students receive the same training experience, which is crucial for consistent and objective evaluation.
Scenario-Based Learning: An instructor can use this menu to create a scenario where a patient has a specific set of symptoms, and the student must use auscultation to help make a diagnosis.
