Critical care simulation

Rehearse critical care before it’s real.

Explore ventilator waveforms and mechanical circulatory support, or practice a difficult conversation with a patient or family member.

Mechanical ventilationAdjust settings and patient effort, compare blood gases, and work through 20 teaching scenarios.
Intra-aortic balloon pumpTime counterpulsation against a modelled heart and watch augmentation, afterload and coronary flow respond.
ImpellaUnload a failing ventricle with a microaxial pump, and read the placement signal and motor current to catch suction and malposition.
VV ECMOOxygenate outside a failing lung: blood flow sets oxygenation, sweep gas sets CO₂, cannulae decide recirculation.
VA ECMOSupport the circulation with a pump and oxygenator, and manage LV distension and differential hypoxaemia.
Transvenous pacingSet rate, output and sensitivity, prove capture and sensing, and troubleshoot a temporary pacemaker.
Crucial ConversationsRehearse 24 ICU conversations with a partner who responds, then review a debrief that quotes your own words.
