    Simulation is becoming an important tool in the training of perfusionists. The goal of this project was to add both a pulmonary circulation and a variable venous compliance to the current Howard simulator that was developed, and is used, at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. This was achieved with the development of a pulmonary Windkessel chamber to simulate the pulmonary artery compliance, as well as through the addition of a variable venous compliance chamber. These components were tested individually, matching the specifications to their physiological counterparts, and then combined as a whole. The testing determined that the simulator will accurately represent the hemodynamic responses seen during cardiopulmonary bypass. These additions have expanded the use of the simulator such that students can now use it to practice initiation of bypass, and/or weaning from bypass with or without an aortic root vent, as well as the practice of cardioplegia administration and catastrophic event management.
