The STRATUS Center for Medical Simulation
The simulation Suite
• Located at Hartford Hospital in Hartford, CT
• 20,000sqft facility• 5 Patient Simulation rooms
• Labor and Delivery• Resuscitation• ICU• ED/Trauma• OR
• Skills Lab• Surgical Simulation• Airway Task Training• Ultrasound Task Training
• Robotics Lab• DaVinci Robot Simulation
Description
Operations within a simulation center are trending to more technology use. Learn how to make technology work for you with simple
easy principles for set up and troubleshooting.
Learning Objectives
1.Define basic audio visual technology and terminology
1.Identify basic cabling diagrams for Simulators and Audio Visual products
Remove Technology as a Barrier
Creating a superior LEARNING experience
Set the stage for success
The Simulation Specialist will set the stage and remove technology as a barrier. They will:
Provide the right course equipment Troubleshoot the readiness of appropriate equipmentManage all A/V controlsOperate and program the patient simulatorStart and stop video capture for debriefing
Focus on teaching
The curriculum expert is focused on teaching and learning and not troubleshooting technical difficulties: Benefits include:
Simplicity & Ease of use No setup or breakdown for instructorsConsistent and reliable simulation casesMore appropriate usage of their timeGaining confidence in simulation as a teaching tool
• Manikin Control• Instructor can control manikin functions
• Instructor Microphone• Instructor can talk to students
• Audio & Video Capture• Instructor can hear and see students
• Classroom Observation/Playback• Observers can see and hear classmates

Extending your classroom Using the AVS you can live stream your recording’s anywhere
on your LAN
This gives you the ability to broadcast your HPS room to any pc or LCD projector in your facility via the network.
Larger audiences, expand a small space to any or multiple locations.
Broadcast in-situ mock codes from anywhere
• VGA• Analog Video
• DVI• Digital & Analog Video
• HDMI• Digital Video & Audio
• DisplayPort• Digital Video, Locking Connector
• Component• Analog Video
• Composite• Analog HD Video
• SVideo• Analog Video
• HDMI• Digital HD Video & Audio
• Ethernet (IP Cameras)• Digital HD Video Network
Common Cables
Cables And Signals Unscrambled
• Ultrasound video
• Camera video• Composite w/ Audio
30 Frames per second progressive is the standard for camera speed
Upto 4 cameras may be connected to these inputs
Attach Video instruments into additional VID Inputs
The cables and connections for US
• Connect your male S-Video cable output
• Into the back of the US machine
• And connect the female connector of the BNC adapter to any VID input on your AVS A/V adapter

Quality Audio is Important
• Mixing board to control multiple inputs and outputs
• Merge multiple microphones for large rooms
• Control volume levels and control feedback issues
• Audio processor for consistency and simplicity
• Echo cancelling and feedback eliminated
• No buttons or knobs• No unsightly wire and plugs• Rack mountable and network
accessible
Better Communication Audio
Lapel mic’s to participants and key players & event leaders
Distribute Walkie Talkie’s and headsets so confederates tocommunicate freely without detection
• Benefits• High Reliability• Low Cost• High Quality Signal
• Challenges• Low Flexibility• Maximum Length Limitations
• Recommended Environments• In-Situ/Mobile Simulation• Simulation Rooms with no Control Room

Getting the most out of your budget
Mobile Simulation Carts
Mobile simulation continued
1. Sony wide angle remote controlled color PTZ camera (main video
capture source)
2. Patient vitals as 2nd video capture source (side by side with main
camera PIP)
3. Shotgun microphone capturing verbal communications of scenario
4. Attached forward facing speakers for playback for debrief video
5. 26" LCD display for display of patient vitals during the scenario and
debrief for playback for review and teaching purposes
Mobile simulation continued
6. Dedicated client PC (laptop) with applications for simulators: 3G, SimMan,
NewBie & SimBaby
7. Area for holding one gas tank and associated gas regulator for mannequin
ventilations (SimMan), SimBaby, Newbie
8. UPS upto 2 hours of power to the system
9. AVS Advanced Video Server for up to 4 video streams of time event
stamped event logging. With one audio capture and broadcast and archive
capabilities
10. A 19” LCD Monitor for AVS capture verification during recording
Global Learning
how?
Videoconferencing • USB web cameras $30 - $100 (HD
resolution)• SKYPE, GoTo meeting (free or low
cost)• Archive your sessions• Recordable HDD with DVD burn
