It is not a dummy, despite appearances, but is an advanced simulator, a mannequin that can now help the students in the School of Nursing to practice with a virtual patient who may be cured or lose on the table without fear for someone to wear mourning for him.

Director of Nursing, Maria Jesus Nunez, said the dummy-patient is the “cornerstone” of the simulation unit that opened yesterday in that college, and to “provide students the best way to practice to have one of the best art simulators that are in Galicia and in almost all of Spain, as only three other universities have it. ”

The unit was inaugurated by the Vice Chancellor of the European Higher Education Area, Maximum Plo Casaus, the rector of University Community, José Manuel Mayán, and the manager of the 061, Antonio Iglesias, as well as faculty and students.

Once dubbed the classroom, the students got down to work and began practicing with the simulator, as explained by Maria Jesus Nunez, “through a software can reproduce any possible disease: myocardial infarction, respiratory failure, pulmonary edema, sprains, appendicitis or fracture.

But students can not only do resuscitation in the event of a heart attack, but can also manage, through the drug of their choice. If you make the right treatment, the patient will be saved, otherwise, will not recover. “All this may prove through a monitoring system,” said the director of the School of Nursing.

Nunez said the simulator will be used in the Master of health care and care management, and also in the degree of Nursing. In the near future also provides for use by residents of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

The acquisition of advanced simulator-at a cost of 36,000 euros is the result of an agreement between the University of Santiago and the Xunta de Galicia.

The implementation and operation of the classroom simulation has received the “valuable” partnership of 061, Nunez said.
