Luna Features
The invasive hemodynamic monitoring package provides the capability to measure and monitor the
following:
• Arterial blood pressure
• Central venous pressure
• Pulmonary artery pressure
• Pulmonary artery occlusion (wedge) pressure
In addition, the following responses and interventions are available with the invasive hemodyamic
monitoring package:
• The introduction and progressive insertion of a pulmonary artery catheter, synchronous
with the appropriate waveforms, can be simulated with the results shown on the
TouchPro software
• The Cardiovascular System simulates both hypovolemia and hypervolemia as well as right
and/or left heart failure
Modeled mode only:
• The patient has a baroreceptor reflex, the sensitivity of which can be controlled by the
instructor
• The patient’s cardiovascular response to medications is automatic and dose dependent
Chest Compression
:
In accordance with NRP and PALS guidelines, effective chest compression of the
patient’s sternum results in artificial circulation, cardiac output, central and peripheral blood
pressures, palpable pulses and CO
2
return. Pressure fluctuations are seen on invasive catheter
waveforms. The presence or absence of modeled exhaled CO
2
is directly related to chest
compression effectiveness and automatically and significantly increases when cardiac resuscitation is
successful.
Cardiac Arrhythmias
:
The instructor is able to select and maintain a desired arrhythmia and control
the simulated patient’s response to clinical interventions.
Electrical Therapy
:
Conventional defibrillators can be applied to the simulator using the SymDefib
assembly. With this device, the delivered energy is quantified in real-time to trigger the appropriate
patient response. The ECG can be monitored via the defibrillator contacts. Also, transcutaneous
pacemakers can be applied. The instructor is able to adjust the levels at which electrical capture and
mechanical capture occur.
Genitourinary System
The manikin is provided with both male and female genitalia. The genitourinary system provides for
excretion of urine upon catheterization. For more information on changing genitalia, see the
Using
Luna
section of this user guide.
