Method and apparatuses for simulating life support procedures in real-time using a mannequin. The apparatuses and methods are operable for a number of therapeutic interventions and provide for a number of appropriate simulated physiological and pharmacological responses. Included interventions are chest displacement, the application of gas pressure to the upper airway, inspiratory gas composition, administration of a fluid, or administration of intravenous drugs. These interventions provide a variety of appropriate responses (and misapplication of an intervention by a trainee provides a corresponding appropriate response).

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A method for simulating life support procedures in real-time using a mannequin having at least an abdomen and a thorax, the method comprising:a) sensing displacement of at least one of the thorax or the abdomen of the mannequin and generating a displacement signal corresponding to an extent of the displacement;b) determining, using a model-driven simulator, a physiological blood flow corresponding to blood flow through a human heart in response to the displacement signal; andc) actuating at least one output based on the determined physiological blood flow.
