SimShockPad

SimShockPad is a hemodynamic simulation game. It is not a teaching or instructional tool, nor a clinical simulator.

It is a game, in the same sense that a home flight simulator is one: faithful in spirit, carefully built, but a game. It replaces nothing and does not claim to.

One critical patient. Vital signs moving in real time. And very little margin.

The patient may arrive with acute heart failure, massive haemorrhage or septic shock. Each scenario behaves differently, and what works in one can sink the patient in another. You decide what to do, and how fast.

TWO INTERFACES, ONE ENGINE

Choose between the classic interface and the new cockpit mode, styled like a flight deck: analogue needle instruments, a multi-function display, a warning light panel and infusion levers with continuous dosing. Switch between them whenever you like, without losing the game.

WHAT YOU CAN ORDER IN COCKPIT MODE

Request tests and wait for them to come back, as in real life:

· Blood gas — pH, pCO₂, pO₂, bicarbonate, base excess, saturation · Lactate — rises fast, clears slowly · Blood count — haemoglobin, haematocrit, white cells, platelets · Echocardiogram — ejection fraction, vena cava, contractile pattern · Swan-Ganz catheter — wedge pressure, cardiac output, resistance

The catheter unlocks three readings that stay dark without it: you cannot read what has not been measured.

WHAT YOU HAVE AT HAND

Noradrenaline, dobutamine, dopamine, nitroglycerin, saline, furosemide, propranolol, amiodarone, antibiotics, transfusion, non-invasive ventilation, defibrillation and transfer to the intensive care unit.

THE PATIENT WILL NOT WAIT

Live electrocardiogram trace, arterial pressure curve and venous pressure. If ventricular fibrillation sets in, you have seconds to defibrillate before you lose the patient.

GAME MODES

· Pick a scenario, or take a random case · Exam mode: ten consecutive rounds with a final score · Three difficulty levels, with ever tighter margins · Score per round and cumulative

LANGUAGES

Spanish, English, German, Chinese and Japanese, with voice.

WHERE IT PLAYS BEST

For iPhone, iPad and Mac. Cockpit mode shines on Mac and iPad: the added instruments and panels make the controls smaller, so a phone screen gets less out of it. Classic mode plays perfectly on all three.
