Description
Key Features
Realistic Torso Model: The simulator is an anatomically correct torso with a flexible, lifelike skin, a rib cage, and a replacement two-piece pleural chamber. This provides a realistic feel for a student as they practice locating landmarks and inserting a needle.
Practice Needle Decompression: The model is designed to accept a needle in the second intercostal space in the midclavicular line or the fifth intercostal space in the mid-axillary line. When a needle is inserted correctly, it allows built-up air pressure to escape the thorax, which is a key physical sign of a tension pneumothorax.
Foot Pump: The simulator includes a foot pump that allows an instructor to build up air pressure in the pleural chamber, simulating the condition of a tension pneumothorax.
Consumable and Replaceable Parts: The simulator's skin and internal lung bladders are replaceable. The skin can be punctured multiple times before needing to be replaced, making it a cost-effective training tool.
Portable: The simulator is lightweight and comes with a soft carry bag, making it easy to transport and use in various training environments.
Uses
The Tension Pneumothorax Simulator is used in healthcare education and emergency training to:
Train in Needle Decompression: It provides a hands-on platform for students and professionals to learn and practice the critical skill of needle decompression, a life-saving procedure for patients with a tension pneumothorax.
Enhance Anatomical Knowledge: The realistic rib cage and soft skin help students to identify anatomical landmarks, which is essential for performing the procedure correctly.
Support Trauma Training: The simulator is an essential tool for high-fidelity trauma simulations, preparing students for high-stakes, real-world situations where a tension pneumothorax must be diagnosed and treated quickly.
Improve Procedural Confidence: Repeated practice in a safe, simulated environment helps students build confidence and proficiency in performing this critical procedure.
