Abstract

Mannequin-based simulators offer specialized functions with compact control systems and minimal physical space requirements. They allow operators to maximize fidelity and learner experiences and optimize the simulator’s use as a research and assessment tool. Mannequin-based simulators are available in autonomous and manual forms, and key differences exist between pediatric and adult models. Various part task trainers can be selected, in addition to whole body simulators, and they allow for a wide range of procedural skills to be performed. Effective programming is key and helps optimize the learning experience.
