Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Computational Physiology
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Critical clinical disorders require advanced diagnostic and therapeutic skills.
  • Traditional medical training may lack sufficient opportunities for hands-on decision-making in complex scenarios.
  • Integrating simulation technology can enhance learning outcomes for medical students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a multimedia medical training simulator named GOLEM.
  • To provide a platform for learning the diagnostics and therapy of critical clinical disorders.
  • To improve medical students' understanding of physiological homeostasis and regulatory mechanisms.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a simulator based on mathematical models of internal environment homeostasis (acid/base, electrolytes, blood gases, osmotic/volume balance), respiration, circulation, and kidneys.

  • Utilized 39 non-linear differential equations with 89 input and 179 output variables.
  • Integrated simulation models with multimedia components and hypertext using Control Web software.

    • Main Results:

    • The GOLEM simulator effectively models complex physiological systems and their responses to disorders and interventions.
    • It serves as an efficient educational tool for medical students.
    • Students can train diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making on virtual patients with various critical disorders.

    Conclusions:

    • The GOLEM simulator is a valuable tool for medical education, enhancing the learning of critical care concepts.
    • It facilitates the development of diagnostic and therapeutic skills in managing complex physiological disturbances.
    • Simulation-based training improves student preparedness for real-world clinical challenges.
