Anatomically correct mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi on which endotracheal intubation can be performed. Difficult or impossible intubation scenarios can be created with locking of the patient's jaw and neck, and swelling of the patient's tongue and pharynx Allowances for inserting a tube directly into the trachea, inadvertant esophageal and mainstem bronchi intubations Mechanical lungs that ventilate spontaneously or in response to the anaesthetic machine. Lung mechanics can be adjusted by the computer in real time as appropriate. A twitch response in one of the mannequin's thumbs which will respond appropriately, to a standard nerve stimulator, depending on the simulated depth of neuromuscular blockade. Pupils dilate or constrict depending on the level of light Arm that moves if anaesthesia insufficient Computer simulation and control in an adjacent room, with visual and audio observation.
Simulator is set to particular patient parameters, eg age, obesity.
Inbuilt equations compute the response to anaesthetics and drugs. Trauma parameters, eg blood loss, are entered by operator. A range of secific events, eg heart attack, can be triggered, and produce a full range of symptoms. Operator can speak as the patient. Under table equipment Provides spontaneous action of lungs, absorption of O 2 and addition of CO 2 Generation of blood pressure, including pulse, and ECG signals.
