PAT - Paediatric Auscultation Trainer
Paediatric growth and developmental concerns demand attentive observation to discern the indicators and auditory cues linked with paediatric-specific conditions. PAT® stands out as the ideal torso manikin for healthcare simulation, specifically designed to facilitate the teaching of paediatric auscultation, a critical skill in the field.
This manikin faithfully replicates a child's anatomy, featuring accurate paediatric auscultation sites and user-friendly operation. Straight out of the box, PAT® can be swiftly set up to instruct on cardiac, pulmonary, or gastrointestinal sounds, offering a seamless educational experience. Developed by Cardionics, PAT® ensures a comprehensive training environment while simplifying the integration of educational tools in the classroom. In addition to classroom instruction, students can independently hone their auscultation skills through self-study with the PAT® torso.
PAT® boasts nearly 100 high-quality normal and abnormal cardiac, respiratory, and gastrointestinal sounds. Equipped with built-in speakers, students can use their own stethoscopes to listen to clear, disturbance-free sounds without any noise interference from internal mechanics.
Lightweight, portable, and convenient to carry, the PAT® manikin allows instructors to transport it to skills labs, classrooms, or auditoriums, enabling ample practice time for students to refine their auscultation skills. With the optional speaker (1021753) connected, educators can play relevant sounds to the entire class while demonstrating proper stethoscope placement.
