Simulation is the foundation of high quality medical education. I made this app so that sim could be freely available to all, without breaking the bank. Any device can be the controller or the monitor. Use the same login, or share a session, and the vitals update straight away. Beeps included! The control panel allows you to manipulate the scenario to suit your needs: - Adjust HR, BP, CO2, RR, BIS reading - Trigger cardiac arrest - Adjust the cardiac rhythm - Run through pre-build scenarios which automatically adjust the vitals - Talking points for discussion and Links to resources for further discussion Terms and Conditions: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
