Resuscitative Thoracotomy Trainer
Specification…male adult
Heart/lung/intercostal /chest cavity mimicking real life clinical scenario
Heart made up of silicon gel, feel like exact human heart,
Yellowish pericardium with hemopericardium
Pericardium can be cut and heart delivered
Gun shot wound right side of lower chest
Blleding heart (left ventricle) due to gun shot wound, beating controlled by remote control
Bleeding from left ventricle can be stopped by inserting finger /foleys catheter
Heart in cardiac arrest
Cardiac temponade simulation
Beating heart .. Controlled by pulse generator
Left lung .. Inflation /deflation/ lung can be dropped during simulation
Lungs amenable to bagging through tubing
Disposable chest cage
Exact anatomical landmark
Chest cage made up of gel, mimicking human intercostal muscles /skin/subcutaneous tissue
Chest cage easily assembled /disassembled
Can perform lal/clamshell thoracotomy
Description
To demonstrate
Lal/clamshell thoracotomy in simulated environment
In gun shot scenario
Bleeding from lv/pericardium can be dissected to deliver herat, simulating release of cardiac temponade, bleeding is generated by electronic system controlled by remote
Left lung generally interfere in view so can be dropped for better exposure
Bleeding from lv can be stopprd by inserting finger v/foleys catheter
