Pulse-Oximeter in AMMC

Bertalan Meskó — Sat, 24 May 2008 10:33:51 +0000

The Ann Myers Medical Center in Second Life, the virtual world, aims to train medical students and nurses through case presentations. The more realistic these medical simulations are, the more efficiently the education can be. That’s why the new pulse-oximeter in our center could be really helpful during the exercises. Here is a screenshot of the ITU:

What you can edit on the monitor:

BPM
oxygen saturation

Case Presentation in Second Life

Bertalan Meskó — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 08:33:57 +0000

Yesterday, we had a meeting in Second Life, the virtual world at the Ann Myers Medical Center. One of our educators did a case presentation by giving us a textfile that contained the anamnesis and all the important physical signs.

It was followed by some brainstorming. We had to discuss what kind of tests we would order and what kind of diagnoses we were thinking about. One of the members of the National Board of Medical Examiners. It was a great experience again.

The solution was Cat Eye Syndrome. More than interesting!

Let us know if you would like to participate in the next exercise either as a medical student or a physician.
