Mannequin Based Simulators

Manikin-based simulators represent the predominant form of technology used in healthcare simulation. This technology includes a spectrum from partial-task trainers to full-scale, high-fidelity manikins. Full-scale manikins have variability in their control mechanisms and in their autonomous features. Various commercially available platforms allow for significant variability in the delivery of simulations by an operator for a learner. Manikin-based simulators also have significant feature variability. Respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurologic signs and symptoms are available. In addition, pharmacologic and procedural capabilities are available in varying degrees. This chapter includes a summary of manikins across the age and cost spectrum and several tables which compare features and other specifics. Task trainers have been developed for airway management, invasive procedures, skills-based teaching and learning and other special situations, primarily surgical. There is ongoing innovation in task trainer development around the world. Future direction for manikin-based simulators will likely include continued specialization in age-related specifications and advanced functionality.
