SimShock2025

SimShock2025 is a shock simulation game based on real pathophysiology, with liberties taken to make the simulation playable. You start a patient case and use treatments to stabilize and cure the patient.

Shock scenarios

The game has three disease modes: Hypertensive cardiogenic shock, Hemorrhagic shock and Distributive shock. You start each scenario with its corresponding Heart Failure, Hemorrhage or Shock button. Cardiac arrest events may occur during play and require immediate defibrillation. Hemorrhage requires transfusions for recovery, while septic shock requires the correct antibiotics to treat the infection.

Treatments and controls

Nine therapeutic buttons provide Dopamine, Furosemide, Nitroglycerin, Saline (0.9% saline solution), Amiodarone, Propranolol, Desfibrillator, Transfuse and Antibiotics. If a case becomes difficult, you can call the ICU; whether it takes the patient depends on the patient's age and bed availability.

You can turn the vital signs monitor on or off, show a background image on it, and reset the game with the green button on the ECG and respiratory monitor. Clicking the doctor image lets you switch between doctors and mute the heartbeat sound.
