Medical simulation, the use of manikins, virtual reality, live action scenarios designed to train first responders, physicians, anesthesiologists, nurses and other medical professionals provides life saving techniques.
Through a series of education sessions, keynote addresses and exhibit floor with many of the newest technologies, simulation is on full display at IMSH, the International Meeting for Simulation in Healthcare Jan. 30 - Feb. 1 at the Hyatt Regency Orlando, in Florida.

CAE Healthcare announced the release of CAE VimedixAR, an ultrasound training simulator integrated with the Microsoft HoloLens, the world's first self-contained holographic computer. For the first time, students will be able to examine 3-D anatomy inside the body of the Vimedix manikin. As learners practice scanning an animated heart, lungs or abdomen, they will observe in real-time how the ultrasound beam cuts through anatomy to generate a ultrasound image.

At the end of 2016, ENGINEERING.com had the opportunity to visit 3D Systems' Healthcare Technology Center in Littleton, Colorado, where, in addition to a myriad 3-D printing tools designed for precision healthcare, 3D Systems showed off its surgical simulation modules. With haptic feedback and lifelike animations, the company's simulation modules are designed to train medical professionals on various procedures, from angiograms to laparoscopic surgery. Recently, 3D Systems announced it is taking its simulation solutions a step further with the introduction of new virtual reality functionalities.

The heart is a wonder of design — a pump that can function for 80 years, and billions of heartbeats, without breaking down. But when it does malfunction, the results can be dire.
In research reported in the International Journal of Cardiology this month, scientists from Johns Hopkins University and Ohio State University presented a new method for predicting those most at risk for thrombus, or blood clots, in the heart.

Though the most popular application of virtual reality is in entertainment, like in movies and games, scientists are exploring its potential uses in the healthcare segment. A team of researchers in Cardiff University is looking at the possibility of applying virtual reality in the treatment of people with "visual vertigo" — those who suffer from dizziness and nausea at places that have repetitive visual patterns, like supermarkets.

The Living Hear Project helps in the creation of virtual simulators that are as realistic to the patient as possible — not just in the way they look and feel, but the way they behave. The project aims to bring together cardiovascular researchers, educators, medical device developers, regulatory agencies and practicing cardiologists on a shared mission to develop and validate highly accurate personalized digital human heart models.

The patient’s chest is filling up with fluid. A horrible cough is audible from the patient. The patient's heart rate is dropping. All of these scenarios provide real-life situations through simulation mannequins now being used by high school health science students. The school used a a $60,000 grant from the Texas Workforce Commission to purchase two simulation mannequins, two hospital beds with complete headboards, and a simulator for phlebotomy students to practice with.
