Use VitalsBridge during simulation training to present vital signs onto a commercially available patient monitor. By using the same patient monitor used in clinical practice, you can allow learners to interpret vital signs as they will in a real clinical setting and increase simulation realism.
The result is better-trained and more confident healthcare providers, reduced medical errors and increased efficiency.
Now you can use real patient monitors in your obstetric labor and delivery simulations. VitalsBridge FM allows you to view and interact with vital signs from both fetal and maternal patient simulators and a commercially available patient monitor, increasing simulation realism.
The following signals are supported:
Use equipment found in the clinical setting
Familiarize staff with monitor features, setup, and calibration.
Connect to electronic record system
Perform effective EHIS training (Electronic Hospital Information Systems) to record and predict potential patient risks.
CO2 monitoring
Perform live capnography on simulators as well as standardized patients.
Effective equipment orientation
Use VitalsBridge to train your new employees on the monitoring equipment and technology they will use daily.
Tailor made for Laerdal simulators
View and control vital signs on nearly any monitor used in clinical practice using LLEAP simulation software.
Easy implementation
If you already own a compatible simulator there is no need for an upgrade or a new purchase. You’re all set for VitalsBridge.
Your manikin, your monitor
Use VitalsBridge to train on the following vital signs:
VitalsBridge is compatible with all modern vital signs monitors (made within the last 20 years) including ICU monitors, pre-hospital, spot-check and respiration specific monitors:
You need LLEAP (PC operated) simulation software and one of the following Laerdal simulators to use VitalsBridge:
(Note: VitalsBridge is not compatible with simulators operated from SimPad or SimPad Plus)
