Cardiovascular physiology: simulation of steady state and transient phenomena by using the equivalent electronic circuit.

By using commercially available software it is readily possible to design electronic circuits and to analyze them. By introducing the concept of equivalent quantities a simulation of various physiological phenomena is possible. This includes the steady state as well as various complex transient phenomena. This paper describes the use of an equivalent electronic circuit in simulating the cardiovascular system. It allows a stepwise upgrading. The first step is a one-ventricle circuit similar to the Starling heart-lung preparation. The final step is an equivalent circuit allowing simulation of various normal as well as pathological states (e.g. effects of heart rate, negative intrathoracic pressure, exercise, hemorrhage, heart failure, and hypertension). The degree of disturbance can be set by adjusting the value of single components. Following this, the optimal type of compensation (e.g. the increase in blood volume in failure of the right ventricle; systemic venoconstriction in failure of the left ventricle) of the basic disturbance can be searched for, activated and the consequences studied. The described approach has been found a useful tool in teaching physiology and pathophysiology for postgraduate medical students.

Collaborative testing enhances student learning.

Examinations and quizzes should be used as learning as well as assessment tools. To achieve this goal, an assessment procedure was developed to enhance as well as assess student learning. Students were tested on four different topics of cardiovascular physiology. Each topic was tested by a different type of quiz (fill in the blanks, single best response multiple choice, short essay, or true/false). The students first completed a quiz individually. Once the quiz was completed individually, the students completed the same quiz in groups. Eighty percent of the score on the quiz was based on the individual results, and 20% of the score on the quiz was based on the group results. The performance on the quizzes was significantly higher (P < 0.001) when students completed the quizzes in groups than when they completed the quizzes individually. Results document that completing the quizzes in groups enhances the understanding of the material. In addition, students rated this format superior to the traditional method.
