Simulation Lab Prework

Advocating for 360 camera to take spherical pictures of the HiFi lab on IHS campus. First time around, the team showed up with less than a days notice and I couldn't get my team assembled because they are working in the hospital most days. 

With permission from HMH, SHU and the School of Medicine I had two hours sceduled on a Monday morning to work on the floor of the Simulation Lab. I was there mainly to take photos of the high fidelity rooms for a virtual walkthrough. Secondly we have a wish list module centered around the C2 manakin. I would shoot both but, theortically I believe best practice on an object like that would require 3D modeling. 

Photogrammetry is the science and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment through the process of recording, measuring and interpreting photographic images and patterns of electromagnetic radiant imagery and other phenomena

Shooting 360

Turn on lights - bright as possible

Three or four steps in-between each shot

Height 175cm or 5’7

Clean lenses

Make sure its level

HDR photo mode (not video)

9 exposure shots

Get on guest WiFi

EV low light=1 light=.5

Set timer

Nothing within 3 feet of the camera each photo

Hide away from camera

Edit in lightroom

Some of the settings I used for the Insta360 photo session were a turn of the century Kodak metal tripod I bought as decoration. I tested to affirm it was level beforehand. I used HDR photos with 9 clicks and a 10 second timer. The 9 shutter stops assured that there would not be moments of low light considering the irrdesent lights above. Lighting was the least of my problems. My technique was to take a photo roughly every 2 feet in no particular direction. Later in the software each photo will be displayed as calls to action which when clicked will advance to the slide with that jpeg photo. File types ranged from HDR /RAW, Inspto, and finally jpeg. Alterations to the photos works best with RAW file format.

• The Space:

  • Types of oxygen supply equipment in the room (match description to the image)

  • Information on the facilitator role (Answer: During summatives as an evaluator and during other sessions support staff)

  • Where can you sanitize hands prior to encounter (Answer: Click on sink or hand sanitizer in room)

  • Where the facilitator is in the room (Answer: Along the room divider)

  • Where to look for lab results (Answer: TV screen)

  • Where can you find the oxygen supplies (Answer:Bedside draws/stand or on table)

  • Where to look for vital signs (Answer: Bedside Monitor)

  • Where do you login prior to entering an encounter (Answer: Computer adjacent to HiFi room)

• • Types of oxygen supply equipment in the room (match description to the image)

    • Nasal cannula (apply 2L to 6L)

    • Nonrebreather (apply 15L)

    • Bag Valve Mask (flush setting)

    • Then demonstrate with picture how each piece of equipment should look like on the manikin

In needs assessment SimLab professor commented that the largest issue that came up after crunching data on recap forms was time students had to become familiar with the manniquins. If they told to listen for sounds acting as if the maniquen was a real person they normally would say that they were unable to differentiate between sounds and machinery at work

So, we have come up with an idea to create a multipart prework module in adobe captivate to help them familarize themselves with manniquins. The modules are significant in teaching them because they can be digested however they please. They can start and end anywhere, or skip ahead. This has always proved benifical for famailarizing people with new technology or concepts.

A module series overview of the HiFi area that will review the following with some click function or drag and drop to correct locations:

• The Space:

  • Where to look for vital signs (Answer: Bedside Monitor)

  • Where to look for lab results (Answer: TV screen)

  • Where the facilitator is in the room (Answer: Along the room divider)

  • Information on the facilitator role (Answer: During summatives as an evaluator and during other sessions support staff)

  • Where do you login prior to entering an encounter (Answer: Computer adjacent to HiFi room)

  • Where can you sanitize hands prior to encounter (Answer: Click on sink or hand sanitizer in room)

  • Where can you find the oxygen supplies (Answer:Bedside draws/stand or on table)

  • Types of oxygen supply equipment in the room (match description to the image)

    • Nasal cannula (apply 2L to 6L)

    • Nonrebreather (apply 15L)

    • Bag Valve Mask (flush setting)

    • Then demonstrate with picture how each piece of equipment should look like on the manikin

• The manikin: (depending on time my thought is we can tackle the 3G for now but possibly expand out to other manikins as well)

  • Where to auscultate heart sounds (Click on different areas of manikin chest)

    • Have normal heart sounds at each location

    • An example of what a murmur may sound like

  • Where to auscultate lung sounds (Click on different areas of manikin chest)

    • Have normal breath sounds at each location

    • An example of an abnormal lung sound

  • Where to look for cyanosis (answer mouth with blue light)

  • Where the manikin plugs in ( A picture that shows the plug in port on the right side of the manikin) and a follow up paragraph that states to auscultate from the back either lift manikin to seated position with facilitator help or role the manikin towards the right side

  • Where can pulses be assessed ( Click picture on arms, feet and groin)
