Abstract
Interactive patient simulators are more used during the education of healthcare professionals but also in the education of other professionals in the healthcare, e.g. biomedical engineer. The main advantage of interactive simulators is practical education focused on the simulation of real acute life-threatening situations that cannot be simulated on the real human patients mainly from the ethic reason. Another possibility of patient simulator usage is interaction with invasive medical equipment e.g. artificial lung ventilation or invasive hemodynamics monitoring. Defibrillators and pacemakers create a specific part of medical equipments that are used very often in the life-threatening situations. Their usage in the medical practice is fundamental and essential. The training of use of defibrillator or pacemaker is practically impossible in the clinical practice. Whole-body simulator enables special training of defibrillator usage with immediate evaluation of an effect on the patient. A special part of training session is debriefing which is used for detail analysis of the train session including the audio-visual record of the session. A defibrillator discharge can be displayed using a professional defibrillator tester. Whole education process can be monitored and evaluated from different point of view.
