Basicparametersofthemodel
Some initial patient configurations and scenarios have already been pre-programmed
to the ECS:
 Man, 33 years old, healthy, no previous health complications
 Woman, 29 years old, in the 40
th
week of pregnancy, no complications
 Woman, 70 years old, former smoker with mild hypertension
 Man, 61 years old, alcoholic and smoker with ischemic heart disease and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
 Man, 20 years old, healthy but hyperthermic, hypermetabolic and dehydrated due to
intensive physical loads.
The initial selection of the patient configuration influences the character of the
simulator’s reaction to the external interventions from the attending staff or the trained
person. The configuration of the individual patients can be changed according to the particular
needs, or a new patient can be created.
TheMETIECSsoftware
For scenario programming, METI ECS uses the METI HPS6 software or updated SW
MÜSE, which have been designed for the Apple platform, using the Mac OS X operating
system.
