Introduction: A pneumatic heart simulator designed to replicate a heartbeat in its entirety uses compressed air to mimic the contraction and relaxation phases of a human heart. This system typically includes a network of valves, actuators, and sensors that precisely control the airflow to simulate the dynamic pressure and volume changes of cardiac cycles. The simulator is valuable for medical training, device testing, and research, providing a realistic and controllable environment for studying heart function and related phenomena. Methods: A simulated heart and base are included in the pneumatic heartbeat simulation device. The simulated heart is created by vulcanizing latex materials, and it includes the superior vena cava, the aorta, the pulmonary artery, and its integrated molding. It also includes the right and left coronary arteries, their respective bodies, their right ventricular anterior branch, their right marginal branch, their left anterior descending branch, and their gyration branch. The base is equipped with a rotary table through the rotary axis, connected to the projection equipment, and a number of limit holes distributed in a circular pattern. The base has an inverted "L" shaped shelf, a rotating shaft, a projection device connected, and several annularly spaced restriction holes on the turntable's disc. The connecting part consists of a connecting tube that is positioned between the aorta and the pacing pump's outlet end. At one end of the connecting tube is an annular plugging plate, and at the other is an adhesive layer. Results: This device can be used to simulate the beating of a heart through continuous pumping and suction, as well as manual rotation of a turntable to enable multi-directional observation. Additionally, it can be equipped with projection equipment and external terminals for electrical connection to enable projection, which will facilitate the user's use for teaching and learning purposes and enhance overall practicality. Conclusion: The purpose of the pneumatic heartbeat simulation device is to assist medical professionals and interns with observation and surgical procedures, enhancing their operational skills, increasing surgical efficiency, developing competent personnel, and addressing their current social needs.
