1. A patient simulator, comprising:
a pump adapted to supply hydraulic fluid;
a compressor adapted to supply pneumatic fluid;
a power source adapted to supply electrical power to the pump and the compressor; and
a simulated torso within which the pump, the compressor, and the power source are contained;
wherein the patient simulator further comprises at least one of:
(i) a head assembly; and
a head coupling via which the head assembly is adapted to be detachably coupled to the simulated torso;
wherein the head coupling comprises:
a first coupling hub; and
a second coupling hub to which the first coupling hub is adapted to be detachably coupled in order to detachably couple the head assembly to the simulated torso;
and
wherein, when the head assembly is detachably coupled to the simulated torso via the head coupling:
(a) the pump is adapted to supply the hydraulic fluid, via at least the first and second coupling hubs of the head coupling, into the head assembly; and
the compressor is adapted to supply the pneumatic fluid, via at least the first and second coupling hubs of the head coupling, into the head assembly;
or
(b) the compressor is adapted to supply the pneumatic fluid, via at least the first and second coupling hubs of the head coupling, into the head assembly; and
the power source is adapted to supply electrical power, via at least the first and second coupling hubs of the head coupling, into the head assembly;
or
(c) the power source is adapted to supply electrical power, via at least the first and second coupling hubs of the head coupling, into the head assembly; and
the pump is adapted to supply the hydraulic fluid, via at least the first and second coupling hubs of the head coupling, into the head assembly;
or
(d) the pump is adapted to supply the hydraulic fluid, via at least the first and second coupling hubs of the head coupling, into the head assembly;
the compressor is adapted to supply the pneumatic fluid, via at least the first and second coupling hubs of the head coupling, into the head assembly; and
the power source is adapted to supply electrical power, via at least the first and second coupling hubs of the head coupling, into the head assembly;
or
(ii) a simulated extremity; and
an extremity coupling via which the simulated extremity is adapted to be detachably coupled to the simulated torso;
wherein the extremity coupling comprises:
a third coupling hub; and
a fourth coupling hub to which the third coupling hub is adapted to be detachably coupled in order to detachably couple the simulated extremity to the simulated torso;
and
wherein, when the simulated extremity is detachably coupled to the simulated torso via the extremity coupling:
(e) the compressor is adapted to supply the pneumatic fluid, via at least the third and fourth coupling hubs of the extremity coupling, into the simulated extremity; and
the power source is adapted to supply electrical power, via at least the third and fourth coupling hubs of the extremity coupling, into the simulated extremity;
or
(f) the power source is adapted to supply electrical power, via at least the third and fourth coupling hubs of the extremity coupling, into the simulated extremity; and
the pump is adapted to supply the hydraulic fluid, via at least the third and fourth coupling hubs of the extremity coupling, into the simulated extremity;
or
(g) the pump is adapted to supply the hydraulic fluid, via at least the third and fourth coupling hubs of the extremity coupling, into the simulated extremity;
the compressor is adapted to supply the pneumatic fluid, via at least the third and fourth coupling hubs of the extremity coupling, into the simulated extremity; and
the power source is adapted to supply electrical power, via at least the third and fourth coupling hubs of the extremity coupling, into the simulated extremity.
