✦ Synopsis

The rhythm disturbances a cardiac patient may undergo during his stay in a coronary care unit are simulated by a digital computer, which displays electrocardiograms and other information on an oscilloscope. In each case, a series of options allow a student to initiate treatment or take other action. Some features of the program such as the scoring mechanism, transition tables, etc., are discussed in this article.
