For individual student self-instruction in cardiac auscultation. This system was developed at the University of Texas Medical B ranch (UTMB) in Galveston, Texas. The system consists of:
- Produced instruction, heart sounds, and synchronized pulse along with each lesson
- 10 individual text/workbooks with color graphics and a review and self-evaluation with typical examples of the studied sounds
- A sound reproducer insuring auditory realism that allows practice with the student’s own stethoscope
- A pulse reproducer with force/displacement
- Characteristics that mimic those of hemodynamic pulses providing a simulated carotid
- Pulse with tactile realism
Lessons include a summary, practice, and evaluation:
- Lesson 1: Intro. to Cardiac Auscultation & Normal Heart Sounds
- Lesson 2: Normal Variant Cardiac Sounds
- Lesson 3: Abnormal Heart Sounds
- Lesson 4: Murmurs
