Ventilator. There are three controls. You must turn the
ventilator on and set the rate and tidal volume.
This section describes some interventions that might be useful in an emergency. The list is not exhaustive.
Ventilator. There are three controls. You must turn the
ventilator on and set the rate and tidal volume.
Air Supply. Use this intervention to change the inhaled gas
mixture. There are several controls. You must turn the gas
tanks on. Then the O2 concentration is typically
increased while the N2 concentration is decreased.
IV Drip. Turn the drip on. Set the total volume to be
infused, the duration of the infusion and the NaCl
concentration.
Transfusion. Turn the transfusion on. Set the total
volume to be transfused, the duration of the transfusion
and the hematocrit of the transfused blood.
Hemodialysis. Install a shunt to obtain vascular access.
Adjust shunt conductance to get a shunt blood flow of
about 500 mL/Min. Then turn the dialyzer on. Adjust
schedule and dialysate composition. Dialyzer activity
panel will show the status.
Stimulators. Turn the cardiac pacer switch on and set
the rate.
Insulin. Set the dose and duration of action. Then click
the action button (!) to inject.
Orthostasis. If recumbency seems desirable, you can
specify lying down.
Environment. Adjust the ambient temperature and type of
clothing.
Diet. Augment or limit water access here. Change water
intake from supplement when thirsty to fixed amount and
then set the daily intake.
Defibrillator. Set the energy level. Then click the action
button (!) to shock.
CPR. Set the chest compression and ventilator parameters.
Turn switch on. CPR will begin on fibrillation and/or
asystole as specified.
