- Replaceable tissues which help provide each trainee a lifelike and unique surgical experience
- Chest tube insertion
- Recognition of correct position, surgical incision, blunt dissection through chest wall, perforation of pleura, and finger sweep
- Anatomically accurate chest tube insertion in the 5th intercostal space
- Realistic feel of all thoracic palpable landmarks
- Cavity for introduction of optional liquids for simulation of haemothorax or pleural effusion.
- Optional economy or premium chest tube inserts to demonstrate incision. The economy option consists of one solid layer and is a low cost solution for training e.g. for use in ATLS courses. The premium product has a three layered tissue representing skin, fat tissue and muscle for “real feel” surgical incision
- Needle Decompression of tension pneumothorax:
- Option to introduce air to create either right or left tension pneumothorax
- Needle decompression replacement tissue sets located in 2nd intercostal space at mid clavicular line
- Successful needle insertion will release air with the familiar “hiss” sound
- Durable replacement tissue which will facilitate up to 30 needle incisions
- Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR):
- Realistic chest structure allows for easy identification of all anatomical landmarks
- Full head tilt, chin lift and jaw thrust capabilities to allow the students to prepare the airway prior to resuscitation
- Lifelike recoil during compressions
- Successful ventilation will provide an accurate representation of chest rise and fall
- Airway Management Skills:
- Anatomically accurate oral and naso pharyngeal AirSim airway
- Larynx piece with palpable rings for both surgical and needle Cricothyroidotomy and percutaneous tracheostomy.
- Full use of supraglottic devices
- Endo-tracheal tube insertion with direct laryngoscopy
- Effective bag mask ventilation
- Single lung isolation capabilities
- Combi tube insertion
- Naso gastric tube insertion techniques?
- ??Identification of tracheal deviation and jugular vein distension which are warning signs attributed to tension pneumothorax:
- ?Jugular vein distension can be observed on either the left or right side of the neck during tension pneumothorax
- Tracheal deviation can be palpitated and clearly visible moving away from the side that has tension pneumothorax
- Both features revert back to neutral upon successful needle decompression
