CAE Adult & Pediatric HPS Anesthesia Simulators

Practice respiratory and critical care training with the CAE Human Patient Simulator (HPS). Known for its realism, CAE HPS is the only simulator on the market today that provides true respiratory gas exchange, meaning it can respond to real anesthetic gasses, oxygen therapy and medications. Available in two configurations (adult and pediatric), CAE HPS delivers simulation so real that its lungs can consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide. This high-fidelity simulator can also flow trigger or pressure trigger a ventilator to cycle and may be configured to display respiratory distress or agitation toward the ventilator. Other key features include:

• Eyes, ears, and mouth secretions to detect trauma
• Range of motion in the wrists, elbows, knees, and ankles
• Ability to interface with real clinical monitors and ventilators
• Left-arm blood-pressure management by auscultation and palpation

CAE Apollo Adult Simulators (nursing and pre-hospital models)

Discover a full spectrum of healthcare scenarios with CAE Apollo. Available in two configurations (prehospital and nursing), this high-fidelity adult patient simulator accelerates learning, decreases time to proficiency and increases debriefing efficacy through automated and relevant patient responses. Built with powerful features to enhance medical training, this wireless and tetherless adult manikin uses CAE modeled physiology to automatically trigger patient behaviors and actions, including:

• Blinking
• Reactive pupils
• Tongue swelling
• Bleeding and fluid drainage
• Bilateral pulses
• Uni- and bilateral chest expansion
• Lung and heart sounds
• Abdominal distention

CAE Lucina Maternal Birthing Simulators

CAE Lucina delivers an all-in-one simulation experience. Designed to demonstrate both gravid and non-gravid scenarios, this wireless manikin comes with a fetus to teach proper prepartum, labor, delivery and postpartum care as well as a non-gravid abdomen for clinical situations unrelated to maternity. Integrated with maternal-fetal physiological modeling, CAE Lucina automatically reacts to medical interventions; the baby cries upon delivery and senses the amount of force applied to its neck. CAE Lucina supports pregnancy conditions such as breech delivery, shoulder dystocia, and postpartum hemorrhage. Additional equipment is available to help teach the all-fours birthing position. Complete with advanced features and multiple simulated clinical experiences, CAE Lucina helps learners:

• Evaluate anterior and posterior lung sounds
• Witness realistic uterine contractions
• Monitor vital signs and maternal data
• Hear the fetal heartbeat
• Cut and clamp umbilical cords
• Control postpartum bleeding and uterine inversions
• Perform CPR and analyze metrics

CAE Luna Neonatal Simulator

Explore a range of neonatal healthcare training needs with CAE Luna. Simulating a baby from birth to 28 days after delivery, CAE Luna helps learners practice caring for newborns when they are at their most vulnerable and the most prone to extreme health crises. The total solution for medical providers learning neonatal care, CAE Luna satisfies requirements for infant nursing skills, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, S.T.A.B.L.E. Program and the Neonatal Resuscitation Program®. Wireless and tetherless, this advanced neonatal patient simulator supports:

• Newborn assessment

Gaumard Noelle Maternal Birthing Simulator

Allows students to experience normal and pathological labor and delivery in a realistic learning setting.
Noelle can simulate low and high-risk delivery with an endless variation of clinical presentations. The fetal delivery system, powerful control software and a library of pre-programed scenarios combine to allow learners to resolve situations in a safe environment, improve performance in specific situations and gain valuable hand-on experience:

• Intrapartum bleeding
• Realistic cervical dilation
• Cord prolapse
• Shoulder dystocia
• True knots
• Placenta Previa

Gaumard Pediatric HAL and Advanced Pediatric HAL Simulators

Pediatric HAL® is the world's most advanced pediatric patient simulator and the first capable of simulating lifelike emotions through dynamic facial expressions, movement, and speech.
