Alarm Configuration
Set physiologic alarm ranges for monitored parameters in SimVS Hospital.
Alarm Configuration
Physiologic alarm ranges can be configured for the most commonly monitored parameters. Alarms are set on the instructor side when creating or editing a scenario, and appear on the student side when scenarios are running.
Configurable Parameters
| Parameter | Default Range | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| HR | 50–120 | bpm |
| RR | 8–30 | /min |
| ABP - Systolic | 90–160 | mmHg |
| ABP - MAP | 65–85 | mmHg |
| SpO2 | — to 90 | % |
| EtCO2 | 35–45 | mmHg |
| NIBP - Systolic | 90–160 | mmHg |
| NIBP - MAP | 65–85 | mmHg |
Setting Alarm Ranges
Each parameter has a dual-thumb slider that sets the lower and upper alarm limits. When a patient's value falls outside the configured range, an alarm is triggered on the student display.
Open Alarm Settings
Tap the bell icon on the left side of the display, or use Alarms Setup from the Hospital Monitor toolbar.
Adjust Range Sliders
Drag the slider thumbs to set the desired lower and upper limits for each parameter.
Confirm Settings
Tap DONE to apply the alarm settings. Tap SILENCE to temporarily mute active alarms.
Alarm Behavior
When a monitored value exceeds the configured range:
- The alarm indicator on the student display flashes red
- An audible alarm sounds on the student tablet
- The parameter value may change color to indicate the alarm state
Instructor vs. Student Alarms
Alarm ranges are configured from the instructor tablet when writing or editing scenarios. On the student side, alarms trigger automatically based on the scenario physiology and configured ranges.
