Overview
Adult healthcare simulation manikins serve as essential tools in training healthcare professionals to provide optimal care for adult patients across various medical specialties. These lifelike simulators accurately replicate the anatomical and physiological features of adult patients, allowing learners to practice a wide range of clinical skills and procedures in a realistic and controlled environment.
Simulation scenarios involving adult manikins can encompass a diverse array of medical conditions and scenarios, including acute medical emergencies, chronic disease management, and surgical interventions. Healthcare professionals can hone their skills in patient assessment, diagnostic reasoning, treatment planning, and communication, among others, through hands-on experience with these simulators.
Furthermore, adult healthcare simulation manikins facilitate inter-professional education and collaboration by bringing together professionals from different disciplines to participate in simulated patient care scenarios. By working together in simulated clinical settings, healthcare teams can improve their teamwork, communication, and coordination skills, ultimately enhancing the quality and safety of patient care in real-world healthcare settings.
Overall, the use of adult healthcare simulation manikins plays a crucial role in healthcare education and training, empowering professionals to deliver high-quality care to adult patients and improve patient outcomes.
HAL 3201
HAL 3201 is Gaumard’s high tech manikin, aimed at those centres that need to conduct multiple scenarios across all disciplines. His limbs are fully articulate resulting in the ability to be able to placed into multiple positions, including sitting properly in chairs and in vehicles, should that be a need.
He is completely tetherless (wireless) which opens up the ability to use him for sequential simulation across multiple agencies. Imagine running a simulation starting outside in the community. The pre-hospital teams arrive to treat the ‘casualty’, they then bring him into the Emergency Department (ED), where he requires a CT/X-RAY etc, then onto Theatres or critical care. a fully sequential simulation made possible because of the ability to be tetherless.
Functionality, he has all of the common features you would find in a manikin of his type, he blinks, pupil reaction, cyanosis, pulses throughout the body, heart, chest and bowel sounds, and a really nice feature is that you can attach and use some of your own equipment on him, rather than utilising ’studs’ as some manufacturers do, you can see the electrode placement on the chest for both ECG and Defibrillators as to where to place these. He does work in conjunction with a vital sign monitor also where we can utilise ‘dummy’ leads and cables and gain the vital signs on a monitor specifically designed and connected to the system.

SUSIE 2000
SUSIE 2000 is an Advanced Nursing Simulator from Gaumard. An excellent manikin she does have a lot of the same functionality that HAL 3201 does, for example, she has reactive pupils, spontaneous breathing, pulses throughout the body as well as Lung, Heart and Bowel sounds.
Because she is primarily a nursing simulator, she also has five interchangeable breasts to allow examination techniques, NG/OG intubation and feeding is standard, and she comes with a gynaecology examination module.
Her technical side is controlled by an instructor tablet, and you can either use your own monitoring on her using the electrodes on her chest for ECG and Defibrillation, or you can make use of the vital signs monitor that give you a full range of physiological values.
Using a range of ‘pre-installed’ voices, you can answer a range of questions directly from the instructor tablet or by utilising the Headset you can stream your own voice through SUSIE and respond to any questions posed.
SUSIE’s limbs can be fully articulated to offer alternatives to laying in bed. She can easily sit in a chair or inside a vehicle depending on your needs. This works well if you are planning a multi-agency sequential simulation from point of injury/disease, through to acute Trust.
