Headwalls

What headwall accessories are typically needed for medical simulations?

For medical simulations, headwall accessories are designed to mimic the clinical environment and provide functionality for realistic training. The specific features and accessories vary depending on the desired level of fidelity, but typically include a subset of the following:

1. Medical Gas Outlets

• Oxygen (O₂)
• Medical air
• Suction/vacuum
• Often color-coded and labeled per NFPA or ISO standards

2. Electrical Outlets

• Standard hospital-grade power outlets
• Sometimes include emergency red outlets (simulating backup power)

3. Nurse Call System

• Functional or non-functional call buttons
• Indicator lights and tones for response simulation

4. Data/Communication Ports

• Ethernet jacks (to simulate real-time patient monitoring systems)
• Telephone/com ports for intercom or telehealth simulation

5. IV Poles and Mounts

• Retractable or fixed IV poles
• Wall-mounted or ceiling-supported for space realism

6. Monitor Mounts

• Adjustable mounts
