Patent ID: 8393905

Claim:
A method, comprising: (a) providing a medical simulation system comprising a system computer at least one output display device, at least one input device; said system computer system communicating with said input and output devices, said system having stored thereon a series of simultaneously executable scenarios, certain of said series of scenarios adapted to set or modify physiological parameters of a simulated patient specified for display on certain of said output display devices and wherein each scenario is a unique evolving medical condition comprising: (i) a starting state of the simulated patient experiencing the medical condition; and (ii) at least one state of the evolving medical condition, wherein each state comprises: (1) at least one physiological variable; and (2) criteria for transitioning the evolving medical condition from the current state into another state; (b) simultaneously executing the series of simultaneously executable scenarios; (c) providing a set of executable instructions configured to set the value of at least one physiological variable in a first scenario of said series of executing scenarios to a corresponding physiological variable in a second scenario of said series of executing scenarios; and (d) executing the set of executable instructions, wherein an evolving medical condition is at least one of an injury, a disease, an illness, and a malady.
