Sellick Cricoid Pressure Train, 101-0395

$4,257.95

Description

Realistic Anatomy: The trainer replicates the anatomy of a human neck, allowing users to palpate and identify key landmarks such as the thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, and tracheal rings.
Digital Feedback System: The device features a digital display that provides real-time feedback on the amount of pressure being applied. It indicates whether the pressure is too little, adequate, or excessive, which is essential for developing the correct muscle memory. The display can often be switched between Newtons and kilograms.
Pressure Monitoring and Timing: The trainer can record how long the correct cricoid pressure was held, and in some versions, it may present a graph for debriefing. This allows instructors to assess the trainee's ability to maintain consistent pressure over time.
Durable and Low-Maintenance: The trainer is made of high-quality, hard-wearing materials and has a closed system that is easy to clean. This ensures the device is suitable for repeated use in a training environment.
Exam Mode: Some versions of the trainer have an "exam mode" that hides the real-time pressure display, encouraging trainees to rely on muscle memory and tactile feedback to apply the correct amount of force.

Anesthesia and Emergency Medicine Training: The primary use is for training anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, paramedics, and other healthcare professionals in the application of cricoid pressure, a technique used to occlude the esophagus and prevent the aspiration of gastric contents.
Skill Development: It provides a safe, repeatable way for trainees to develop the manual dexterity and tactile sense needed to apply the correct amount of pressure. This is crucial as studies have shown that a high percentage of clinicians are unable to apply the correct amount of force without specific training.
Competency Assessment: Instructors can use the trainer to evaluate a trainee's proficiency in performing the Sellick maneuver, ensuring they meet the required standards before performing the procedure on a patient.
Simulation-Based Education: It is an excellent tool for scenario-based simulation, where trainees can practice this critical skill as part of a larger team response to an airway emergency.
