RGB Communications Medical Case Studies: Healing Connections

Healing Connections

Products Featured: Draper Electric Screen & Projector Lift

On a Tuesday afternoon at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, MI, John Doe's open heart surgery was proceeding as expected. He was breathing with the help of a ventilator. The pulse oximeter clip on his finger showed normal oxygen levels. A blood pressure cuff squeezed Doe's right arm at set intervals. His heart was no longer beating, resting as a heart-lung machine did the heart's work, while surgeons toiled to repair a damaged valve.

Every move was caught on digital video for later critique of staff actions and reactions. Linked with an advanced AV system that records temperature, heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure, the simulated patient can be programmed to confound those working on him, giving medical professionals a chance to navigate tricky scenarios in a realistic way without jeopardizing a patient. The AV system is connected not only to the mock patient, but also to video production services and to building systems (such as lighting and the fire alarm functions).
