Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a measurement ring for positioning at an orifice of a mannequin or standardized patient. The measurement ring comprises a hollow channel, an annular lip, at least one sensor and a communication module. The annular lip is located at a first extremity of the hollow channel and forms therewith an insertion channel for inserting at least one instrument in the orifice of the mannequin or standardized patient. The at least one sensor measures at least one parameter related to insertion of the instrument in the insertion channel and generates insertion data. The communication module transmits the insertion data to a simulation system.

Abstract: Anesthesia apparatus adapted for operating in one of a gas-dispensing mode and a gas-less simulation mode, and method of operating the anesthesia apparatus. A mode selection command is received from an input/output unit of the anesthesia apparatus. A control unit of the anesthesia apparatus selects one of a gas-dispensing mode and a gas-less simulation mode based on the received mode selection command. At least one gas control parameter is received from the input/output unit. When the gas-dispensing mode is selected, the control unit actuates gas dispensing means of the anesthesia apparatus based on the received at least one gas control parameter. When the gas-less simulation mode is selected, the control unit prevents actuation of the gas dispensing means, and transmits the at least one gas control parameter to a patient simulation system via a communication interface of the input/output unit.

Abstract: Patient simulation system adapted for interacting with a medical apparatus, and method for operating the patient simulation system. A processing unit of the patient simulation system stores at least one physiological model of a patient in a memory of the patient simulation system. The processing unit receives at least one gas control parameter from the medical apparatus via a communication interface of the patient simulation system. The processing unit correlates the at least one gas control parameter with one of the at least one physiological model of a patient to generate simulated physiological effects. The processing unit further transmits the simulated physiological effects to the medical apparatus via the communication interface. In a particular aspect, the medical apparatus consists of an anesthesia apparatus.
