Virtual Phlebotomy
Directions for Use
• Printable debriefi ngs allow students to document their progress.
•
Full integration with the Laerdal Competence Management System allows students to remote-
ly review progress and understand problem areas.
2.4 Overall Features
•
Conforms to and trains all of the protocols, guidelines and procedure steps developed by
CLSI (Clinical Laboratory and Standards Institute) and OSHA (Occupational Safety and
Health Administration) for a complete understanding of phlebotomy for safe venous specimen
acquisition and accurate laboratory results.
• 57 Unique Case Scenarios focus on specifi c learning objectives
•
Over 20 case scenario and site specifi c simulation variables add realism and variability to the
simulation
• Case scenario specifi c debriefi ngs provide accurate and relevant post-procedure feedback.
• 27 practice cases with previews of the patient arm can be accessed directly.
• 3 Level Competency Training with cognitive tests and remediation
•
More advanced levels include additional complications such as vein collapse and provide less
guidance on proper tube selection and draw order.
• Cognitive questions follow training guidelines for novice and expert users.
•
29 unique patient models range in age from pediatric to geriatric and encompass the variabil-
ity of human ethnicity, anatomy and physiology.
• Each model presents different challenges and characteristics in the context of phlebotomy.
•
4 available vein access sites per patient including the left and right antecubital, and the left and
right Dorsal Hand (including Medial Wrist).
•
A 3D interactive Anatomical Viewer presents pronated and supinated arm models that can be
selectively dissected to reveal underlying anatomical structures to provide comprehensive and
intuitive learning of relevant anatomy.
•

botomy by venous access; including patient and site preparation, proper procedure, complica-
tions, causes of pre-analytical errors, etc.
• A system tutorial video trains the learner to use the Virtual Phlebotomy system.
•
The Competency Review structure records student progress during competency training and
provides insight into learner training progress.
