The CardioSim is an unparalleled system for teaching heart sounds. It allows complete control over heart rate (50-240 bpm). Individual clicks, snaps,knocks, rubs or murmurs can be added or removed to allow the student to learn every element of a sound - one part at a time. For example, if listening to mitral stenosis, initially the student hears just the first and second heart sound. Then an opening snap is added. Once this is learned, a middiastolic murmur is added followed by presystolic accentuation.If regurgitation is desired, a blowing holosystolic murmur is added.
By adding and taking out murmurs, clicks or other sounds, the student is able to learn one part of the sound complex at a time. As a result, they learn quickly and retain more. Repetitive listening to murmurs is routine for more effective retention.
The PneumoSim is a unique teaching instrument. It contains both simulated and real breath sounds. The underlying theory is that the student can learn the sounds more easily using simulated sounds, then listen to the same sound under study from a real patient.
When using the simulated sounds, the instructor (or student) can control many of the aspects of how the sounds are presented. They can be played just as they are or they can be altered. Because of the great variety of sounds produced by patients, it is difficult to produce a single sound of a particular condition that fits everyone.
Therefore, the simulator allows the user to make a number of changes to the existing sounds. These changes can be saved, if desired, and recalled at will.
The PneumoSim also contains a built-in patient auscultation unit that allows the instructor or student to listen to their own or patient sounds from their institution. These sounds can be digitally recorded, if desired, and played back at will. After recording, they can be filtered to reduce background noise.
The PneumoSim can be added to the CardioSim VII Digital Heart Sound Simulator. In this mode, the total system will present breath sounds, heart sounds, arrhythmia recognition, echocardiograms, chest X-rays, and 12 lead electrocardiograms.
The SimulScope is an instrument for teaching auscultation at the bedside or in the classroom. It is wireless so that students are not tied to the instructor when in the patient’s room. It sets up in seconds.
The SimulScope system consists of small, portable, battery-operated (or line-operated) infrared transmitter with low frequency stethoscope that is taken to the bedside.
Each student and the instructor wear a HeartMan Infrared Headphone. Everyone hears the same patient simultaneously. The instructor knows exactly what the student is hearing. The SimulScope has a series of discrete filters that allow the accentuation or attenuation of eight different frequency bands. This permits the instructor to accentuate a grade 1 murmur, a faint AI blow or any other sound. He/she can attenuate or accentuate other sounds or murmurs for purposes of teaching. Sounds can be recorded at the bedside and played back through the SimulScope in the classroom, if desired.
The advantage to the physician is that he can teach multiple students from the same patient simultaneously and effectively. Because of the design of the system, the instructor knows exactly what each student is hearing. It is much easier on the patient as is only one stethoscope placed on him or her. These patients are often very ill and the least interruption for them is best. Because the instructor can teach all students simultaneously, a great deal of time is saved while on rounds.
Another model of the SimulScope allows the user to set up a 3-lead ECG for determining the onset of systole in patients with faster heart rates such as in atrial fibrillation or pediatrics.
Learning cardiac or pulmonary auscultation has never been easier than with the advent of the SAM, The Student Auscultation Manikin.
For example, can your students tell the difference between a pleural rub of the lung and a pericardial friction rub. Innocent systolic murmurs often sound like the murmur of aortic stenosis. Can the student tell the difference? What is the best method to determine if the patient has an atrial septal defect? With SAM, these and other sounds are presented along with a complete teaching guide.
SAM, the Student Auscultation Manikin, will provide a means for the instructor to teach cardiac and pulmonary auscultation to students at any level. The students can be taught as a group using the optional SimulScope or Classroom Infrared Emitter. Later the students can practice on SAM using their own stethoscope.
There are now three SAM models - SAM Complete, SAM Senior and SAM Junior.
The Auscultation STS is a system for individual student self-instruction in cardiac auscultation. The Auscultation STS system was developed at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), Galveston, Texas by William Thornton, M.D., Professor of Medicine and a former astronaut. It is in daily use at UTMB.

New Electronic Stethoscope with Hand-held Recording System
The 190 year old stethoscope has just been reinvented. You won’t believe your ears! That’s a bold statement. Can we back it up? Read on...
Welcome to the E-Scope - an electronic stethoscope with great sound.
Add the Pocket Monitor – a software suite that can enhance screening and diagnostic accuracy at the patient bedside.
"I find this scope to be outstanding. It accepts a wide dynamic range of frequencies, being especially useful in detection of low frequency sounds such as third and fourth heart sounds. It has good noise rejection and requires very little adjustment to bring in sounds across the entire sound spectrum." Morton Tavel, M.D., FACC, Indianapolis.
