Simulation Software
If you have purchased relevant licenses, you will have access to a number of PC
applications that facilitate your simulation . To run a simulation, LLEAP (Laerdal
Learning Application) must be started from Laerdal Simulation Home on the
Instructor PC .
Laerdal Simulation Home
Laerdal Simulation Home is an application from where LLEAP and other Laerdal
programs related to patient simulation can be found and started . Also, the
help files can be opened from here . Laerdal Simulation Home is located in the
Laerdal Medical folder under the Windows start menu (Windows 7) .
Software used in a simulation session can be divided in the following main
applications:
– LLEAP (Laerdal Learning Application)
– Voice Conference Application
– Patient Monitor
– SimView Server or Session Viewer
In addition SimDesigner and other applications are used for designing or
preparing a simulation .
LLEAP
LLEAP is the instructor’s application from where the simulation session is run,
controlled, and monitored . LLEAP can be operated in Automatic or Manual
mode . Automatic mode is used for pre-programmed scenarios while Manual
mode allows the instructor full manual control over the simulation session .
Running simulations in Manual mode generally requires some medical expertise
to create clinically sound simulations .
Voice Conference Application (VCA)
The VCA software is needed to transmit all vocal sounds used during simulation .
It allows the instructor to communicate through the simulator during the
session . VCA can also be used to communicate with other instructors on a
network, and create separate channels that only members can talk and listen to .
