CIRCULATION STUDIO FIELD GUIDE
Help & Wiki
Find an answer. Explore the physiology. Get back to teaching.
How the model works
Calculation order, equations, interactions, waveform generation and explicit assumptions.
Acute pulmonary embolism with severe RV failure
A high-risk obstructive-shock example with low flow and acute RV strain.
Antiarrhythmics, pacing & electrical treatment
A rule-based response selects a later rhythm while disease and drug burden remain.
Assumptions, validation scope & known limits
What has been checked, what is idealized and what the model cannot claim.
Baseline controls: flow, filling, resistance & rate
What each slider sets, and why the final numbers can move together.
Calculation order & shared state
Follow a change from a control to the final circulation and its displays.
Cases, tutorial, Crimson Circuit & procedural quiz
How teaching content selects, reveals and scores the shared physiology.
Catheter progression, pullback & provocative signs
What changes when the catheter moves, and what remains a fixed reference.
Central versus peripheral pressure & recording artifacts
Pulse amplification, transit delay and damping are display measurements, not new diseases.
ECG synthesis & curated interpretation
How telemetry and twelve-lead patterns are drawn and explained.
Echo, chest X-ray, IVC & JVP synthesis
Illustrations consume the modeled state; they are not independent imaging measurements.
Fick & thermodilution: generated measurements
Method readouts can differ from true modeled flow for a stated teaching reason.
Gorlin, Hakki & regurgitant calculations
Formula estimates use the synthetic pressure and flow data, with explicit exclusions.
Heart sounds, clicks, snaps & splitting
Sound markers are illustrative valve-event annotations with pressure-dependent timing.
How the simulator works
An indexed reference to the physiology, equations, traces and assumptions behind Circulation Studio.
