Background and Identification
A patient simulator is a kind of medical simulator that mimics human anatomy or bodily functions to train medical professionals. They vary in design, as they are used to simulate the wide range of medical problems that real patients may have.
The three main categories of patient simulator are low-, mid-, and high-fidelity. The lowest fidelity simulators usually do not have too many internal parts, and are used for practicing procedures like CPR that do not require a detailed mannequin. Higher fidelity mannequins can feature realistic details such as heartbeats and chests that rise and fall to simulate respiration.
