PiCCO Simulator

A realistic PiCCO haemodynamic monitor in your browser. Run thermodilution measurements, read every PiCCO parameter and follow a decision model that turns the numbers into a treatment plan.

  • Live monitor waveforms
  • Thermodilution cardiac output
  • 4 clinical scenarios
  • Lifetime access

Learn PiCCO before you meet it at the bedside.

Practise the measurements, see how the parameters relate to each other, and build confidence in haemodynamic decisions without any risk to patients.

What’s inside

Six screens, one complete PiCCO monitor

Main monitor

Live ECG, arterial, CVP, femoral arterial, plethysmography and capnography waveforms with heart rate, blood pressure, SpO₂, CO₂ and respiratory rate.

Cardiac output measurement

Run thermodilution with a live curve to measure CI, GEDI and ELWI, alongside continuous pulse contour monitoring.

All physiological parameters

Every PiCCO value in one place, colour coded normal, warning or critical against reference ranges.

Physiological graphics

Visual displays that show the patient's haemodynamic picture at a glance.

Parameter relationships

An interactive dependency tree showing how the haemodynamic parameters influence one another.

Hemodynamic decision model

A step by step algorithm from CI, GEDI and ELWI to the next step: volume, catecholamines or volume removal.

Parameters covered

Everything the PiCCO measures

Flow and volume

  • Cardiac index (CI)
  • Stroke volume index (SVI)
  • Global end-diastolic index (GEDI)
  • Intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBI)

Lungs and contractility

  • Extravascular lung water index (ELWI)
  • Pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI)
  • Cardiac function index (CFI)
  • Global ejection fraction (GEF)

Resistance, fluids and oxygen

  • SVR and SVRI
  • Stroke volume and pulse pressure variation (SVV, PPV)
  • ScvO₂, DO₂I and VO₂I
  • Haemoglobin and temperatures

How it works

Practise at your own pace

  1. Choose a scenarioPick one of four built-in clinical scenarios, or start from normal values.
  2. MeasureRun a thermodilution cardiac output measurement and watch the curve form.
  3. InterpretReview every parameter against its reference range and explore how they relate.
  4. DecideUse the decision model to choose the next step, then reset and try again.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

£25, paid once, for lifetime access.

How do I open the simulator after I pay?

Sign in to your Saving Lives Academy account and open the simulator from its page. Your purchase unlocks it on your account for life.

Does it work on my phone?

It runs in your web browser. A laptop or tablet gives you the best view of the screens.

Can I use it for patient care?

No. The simulator is for education and training only, not for clinical decision making.
