Trending Life/form Blood Pressure Simulator + Free Return [uQrWiC5X]

The Life/form® Blood Pressure Simulator is designed to teach physical assessment and help resolve many of the uncertainties which are common when teaching students how to take blood pressure.

The life-like simulator permits the instructor to preset values for both systolic and diastolic pressures, providing an excellent way to practice listening to and distinguishing blood pressure sounds prior to actual clinical experience. It is also possible to audibly discern the five Korotkoff phases. Often, when working with a live subject, blood pressures are difficult to auscultate, which can make an accurate evaluation of student proficiency nearly impossible. Using this realistic unit will allow the student to find the preset results and the instructor will be better able to determine if the student has performed the procedure correctly and accurately. The electronically generated sounds are digitally recorded.
