In Pet on the initial user course, each group in the class did up at least one scenario, and they were all burned to a disk by the METI guy, but unfortunately the laptops that come with the sim are Mac, and don't include a cd burner to share the scenario's between one another.
What I've been working on out here is "template" scenario's, i.e., I'll do a trauma case, and instead of coming up with 30 different trauma scenario's, I'll do three or four basic ones, bad bleeding, chest injuries, airway compromise, and burns. Depending on how sadistic the operator is feeling that day, he can set the pleural space volume as high or as low as he wants, same for FIO2, pulses, etc.
In Pet, the class noticed that the "soldier" patient was substanially harder to kill, took about 4 times as much diazepam and morphine to put him into resp arrest, he responded kind of oddly to high-dose epi and other meds, too. May just be the extra mass the "soldier" has, but I"m not sure.
We need to get mac-compatible CD burners to start sharing these scenario's, I sure don't have time to write up as many different ones as we'll need.
The METI website includes a newsletter, which has useful tips on programming, the most recent one brags on the next project, the stand-alone pt sim.
Good thing they pay me to sit on my ass,
