00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,920
Welcome to the video series for health

2
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,760
and social care in today's session,
we're going to be looking at an overview

3
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:23,200
of using the mannequin
to support your studies.

4
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,040
OK, so mannequins
can be very helpful in your studies

5
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,280
to help you to simulate learning.

6
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:34,080
They can simulate scenarios
that you would not be able

7
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:39,040
to participate in with colleagues,
so we can check

8
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,080
our peers respiration rates, and
we can check our peers blood pressures.

9
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,280
But hopefully,
they should all be within a normal range.

10
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,440
Now what we can do on the mannequins is
we can put things a little bit

11
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,280
outside of the normal range
to simulate what it might be like

12
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,600
if you are out in the real world
and you were caring for a patient who

13
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,160
perhaps was deteriorating
or was already critically ill.

14
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,600
One of the key features
that you can get on this mannequin

15
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,560
is the fact that we, as the educators,
can control the parameters

16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:14,200
of the mannequins observations
so I can select to put this mannequin

17
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,440
into, for example, atrial fibrillation,

18
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,840
which would mean that
their heart was beating irregularly

19
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,400
and rapidly, and I can select what rate
I would want that to be.

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,400
And if I do that, you as a
the as you're palpating

21
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,400
the patients, or the mannequins pulse,
you would feel a difference.

22
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,680
It would feel faster
and it would feel irregular.

23
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,920
So it's really helpful to help us to link
the things that you are learning about

24
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,920
in the classroom to a close

25
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,400
to real world setting as much as possible.

26
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,480
This mannequin is a little bit different
to some of the mannequins

27
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,320
that you might see out in practice,

28
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,840
but as a general rule,
they can simulate pulse rates.

29
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,200
They can simulate respiration rates.

30
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,600
In fact, you'll notice on this one
she is actually breathing,

31
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,200
you can notice that her chest is rising
and falling.

32
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,520
You can simulate

33
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,600
a blood pressure on some mannequins.

34
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,280
This mannequin
we can tell you on the monitor

35
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,440
what their temperature is
and what their saturation levels are.

36
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,840
Unfortunately, they aren't advanced enough

37
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,520
that you can put
a saturation probe on at this time.

38
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,960
But we can use the mannequin
in combination with the monitoring,

39
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,320
to give you a full picture
of a fictional patient.

40
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,240
Obviously, one of the most important parts
of providing

41
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,400
effective health and social care is good
communication, and that's also something

42
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,520
that you can practice
when you are working with the mannequins.

43
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,200
So, for example, we can actually make
the mannequin make its own

44
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,240
independent noises
so I can get the mannequin to cough.

45
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,600
I can make it sound short of breath.

46
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,320
So it has breathing difficulties.

47
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,920
I can also simulate the mannequin

48
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,840
being in pain, for example.

49
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,600
So there are these signals
that you can receive from the mannequin

50
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,680
to help to indicate what kind of care
you might need to give them.

51
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:24,760
And it also has additional features on
this particular mannequin as well, in that

52
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,960
a staff member
could go away from you with a headset

53
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,840
and they can communicate to you
through the mannequin

54
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,360
and they can hear what you're saying
back again, so it can try to make

55
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,720
your learning experience
as real as possible to really make sure

56
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,480
that you're building on those skills
that we talk about in the classroom.

57
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,960
So another aspect that the mannequins
can be really useful for

58
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,160
is for you to be able to implement
your moving and handling training.

59
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:58,840
So this mannequin, for example, has got
movable joints so we can move her ankles.

60
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,440
We can move her knees.

61
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,800
She moves at the hip, which tries
to emulate that realistic motion

62
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,000
that you would get if you were doing
moving and handling on a real patient.

63
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,080
So if you had a second person with you,
you would be able

64
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,240
to help to raise that patient's leg

65
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,120
and do a roll, for example.

66
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,160
Or alternatively, we can get her
into a more realistic position.

67
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,280
So if we are

68
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:26,400
talking about a

69
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,640
patient with breathing difficulties,
for example, an average patient

70
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,840
with breathing difficulties tends
not to be just laid there.

71
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:37,720
They might be sat up and, you know,
in a hunched over position to try

72
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,680
and make that effort a little bit reduced
so we could set her into that position

73
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,360
and you could practice caring for someone
who is not just laid down in a bed.

74
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,920
So, for example,
and you'll have to ignore my moving

75
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,720
and handling technique at this point
because it's not exactly accurate,

76
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,200
but once we've got our patient.

77
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,600
Sat up, we can emulate

78
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,800
what it might be like to care
for a patient

79
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,080
who sat in this position instead of always
been laid down in the bed,

80
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,720
and she will hold that position
while we're caring for.

81
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,320
That was
a brief overview of the mannequins

82
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,000
and what they can do for you as students
to help enhance your learning experience.

83
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:22,000
And in the coming videos,
we're going to look more in-depth

84
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,280
at how to assess a patient's
blood pressure

85
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,680
and how to assess a patient's
pulse using the mannequins.
