Try Simulated Open Heart Surgery… It’s fun!

by Kendra James, RN on October 21st, 2007

ohsurgerry.jpgOh my goodness. I found the coolest simulated open heart surgery “game”. It is very elementary on an anatomical level and has 3 different levels you can choose from. At the surgeon level, that would be mid-grade, I was successful. At the specialist level… not so much! In fact they advised me to “call my lawyer”. Haha.

While it is only a depiction of what open heart surgery really consists of, it is fairly accurate. I have scrubbed open heart before and the simulation follows the same basic steps just without the complications, risks and unforeseen circumstances of real surgery. Give it a try and let me know how you do. You know you want to!

    Hey it even has a time limit. I’ll have to try it some more when I can concentrate and read through the instructions so I don’t kill my virtual patient. :)
