PAT® – Pediatric Auscultation Trainer

Pediatric growth and developmental issues require careful attention to recognize the signs and sounds associated with pediatric specific disorders. PAT® is the perfect torso manikin for healthcare simulation and teaching the critical skill of pediatric auscultation.

The manikin simulates the anatomy of a child with correct pediatric auscultation sites and has been developed to be easy to operate. Out of the box, PAT® can be connected and set to teach the desired cardiac, lung or bowel sounds. Cardionics has designed PAT® to create a comprehensive auscultation training experience while completely eliminating the frustration of incorporating complicated educational tools in the classroom. Apart from teaching auscultation skills to the entire class, students can also practice their hands-on skills in self-study with the PAT® torso without supervision.

PAT® contains close to 100 normal and abnormal cardiac, respiratory and bowel sounds of the highest quality. And with the built-in speakers, students can auscultate using their own stethoscope receiving crystal clear sounds. With PAT®, there is no noise disturbance from interior mechanics.

PAT® manikin is light, portable and easy to carry. Instructors can bring PAT® to the skills lab, classroom or auditorium ensuring students spend adequate time practicing their auscultation skills. When the optional speaker (718-9011) is connected, educators can play relevant sounds for the entire class while demonstrating correct stethoscope placement.
