Perioperative Patient Simulation (POPS)

Perioperative Patient Simulations are iand gas entended to provide online practice for health care professionals caring for surgical patients during and after surgery. These simulations are based on mathematical models of the circulation xchange in the lung. The initial values for all the variables in the simulation model are created from random numbers, so each simulated patient is unique. In all of the simulations, you may choose to treat neonatal, pediatric or adult patients.

Post-operative intensive care

This simulation covers post-operative care of a cardiac patient. To read more about this application and to find out how to access it, click here or select 'post operative care' from the menu on the left.

The following simulation modules are new modules that we are in the process of developing.

Weaning from cardio-pulmonary bypass

This simulation will cover the process of weaning a patient from cardio-pulmonary bypass following completion of the surgery. To read more about this application, click here or select 'weaning from bypass' from the menu on the left.

Respiratory management

This simulation will cover the management of a patient requiring respiratory support with a ventilator. To read more about this application, click here or select 'respiratory management' from the menu on the left.

VIRTUAL Anesthesia

This simulation will cover anesthetic management of an abdominal general surgery procedure. To read more about this application, click here or select 'VIRTUAL Anesthesia' from the menu on the left.
