Question 1

Is there a free vital signs monitor simulator?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The MapMySim monitor at mapmysim.com/monitor is free for anyone, runs in a web browser with no sign-in, and shows a heart rhythm, heart rate, SpO2, blood pressure, respirations, EtCO2 and temperature that the instructor can change at any time.

Question 2

Can I use it for EMT and paramedic classes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It works for any class that reads a monitor, including nursing, EMT and paramedic programs. It is a teaching display only and not a medical device.

Question 3

Can it show a patient getting worse over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Set a stage of vital signs for each point in the case and switch stages, or press Play. The numbers drift from one stage to the next over a time you choose.
