Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : Recently, for over ten years, various arterial pulse simulators have been developed for training of pulse palpation technique. In this paper, we summarized development trends of those apparatuses.
Materials and methods : To search the cases of development, we mainly used China Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), National Discovery for Science Leaders (NDSL), Korean Traditional Knowledge Portal, Patent Search by Baidu (百度專利搜索), and some general search engines. Some domain cases introduced were collected based on personal experience. Results : It was found that there were two types of arterial pulse simulators. The first type uses fluids and pumps, while the second type uses actuators without fluid circulation parts.
Conclusion : From year 2000, various arterial pulse simulators have been developed. In general, they could be classified two types. Further effort toward Maixiang (脈象) simulation and validation in field is needed.
