Two Great Products

Two exciting new products to build skills in the area of Airway Management. Both products are designed to address shortfalls which we learned during COVID. The importance of high-quality realistic training products cannot be overstated. Physical realism, real time feedback, and accurate performance data combine to give the learner the tools to build COMPETENCE and CONFIDENCE to perform a whole range of airway skills.

These simulators include advanced airway heads with detailed physical landmarks as well as a torso and sensors to provide the feedback to guide self-improvement. These two products are not limited to learning to identify appropriate landmarks and placing of advanced airway devices. They also cover a comprehensive range of activities to develop real practical skills in delivering ventilations to patients in need.

High Fidelity Physical Attributes

EXCELLENT VISUAL LANDMARKSL. It also has a high fidelity airway for training in the proper techniques to sight and place an invasive airway device. It provides accurate simulation and location of mouth, teeth, tongue, pharynx, larynx, epiglottis, vocal cords, trachea, esophagus with usable lungs for both non-invasive and invasive procedures. The lungs are within a thorax to provide natural resistance on inhalation and exhalation to add further authenticity to the training. It is a great way to learn how to establish and maintain a patent airway.

HEAD, TORSO, DATA. This Airway Management training includes the high fidelity airway and also includes a torso for improved realism and improved natural increasing resistance as more air is introduced into the lungs.

EMPHASIS ON NON-INVASIVE & INVASIVE PROCEDURES. The most common Airway Management skills applied in the field are the use of Non-Invasive skills to aid a patient. These often overlooked skills are given an important emphasis in these SmartMan products. Not only learning proper technique but also the vitally important skill of providing successful ventilations with high level control of the volume and rate and timing of each breath. Real Time feedback and visualizations help hone skills to the highest levels.

Mastery of Ventilating

VOLUME, RATE AND TIMING CONTROL. For Advanced Airway, there simply is no other system which includes the correct parameters of pressure in the thorax, movement of air into and out of the airway in relation to the thorax. Thus the volumes and rates provide unprecedented accuracy with true to life response. These Advanced Airway systems will even provide the physical feel and noise of suction like bucking the tube, when the positive pressure from the chest is pushing against the air from being delivered or released. This innovation is called the DTFIS System.

VENTILATING PRESSURE CONTROL. Practice to develop the feel for how ventilating with different volumes and pressures is for the responder. Instant feedback and accurate timings make practicing for optimized control of ventilations easy. Be prepared for when the condition of the patient calls for a quick change in the ventilating protocol. For example this can often be the case in a patient experiencing respiratory distress but who fails to respond to the current protocol.

SWITCH PROTOCLS ON THE FLY. Be ready for when a patient is not responding well to non-invasive techniques and a decision to switch to an advanced airway is called for. The feedback teaches you how to manage this situation, mae the switch, and keep time to a minimum. Feedback on volume control, time taken to successfully place and re-establish airway control are given. Or you may need to alter the volume and rate at which you provide ventilations to a patient with compromised lung function.

Delta Tidal Flow Interactive System

Delta Tidal Flow Interaction System is a proprietary V4EMS technology. It is only found on advanced SmartMan CPR Training systems. This technology provides accurate measurement, excellent physical feel and real time digital display of the movement of air in and out of the lungs during performance of CPR.

 

Practice both Non-Invasive (BLS) Airway and Invasive Airway (Intubation) techniques with this simulator.

This product provides the highest quality, state of the art training available to practice how to correctly provide a patient with air through use of a Bag Valve Mask (BVM). It includes how to properly squeeze and properly release the BVM along with feedback on correct volume and rate of air flow.

It also has a high fidelity airway for training in the proper techniques to sight and place an invasive airway device. It provides accurate simulation and location of mouth, teeth, tongue, pharynx, larynx, epiglottis, vocal cords, trachea, esophagus with usable lungs for both non-invasive and invasive procedures. The lungs are within a thorax to provide natural resistance on inhalation and exhalation to add further authenticity to the training. It is a great way to learn how to establish and maintain a patent airway.

Feedback. This product teaches you how to perform and then become efficient at establishing an advanced airway. It is especially useful to improve quick accurate placing of an ET Tube, but can also be used to train people how to correctly use other para laryngeal devices.

The product INCLUDES all of the features of AM 1.

It has been redesigned with the latest high tech materials to bring the user a higher degree of realism. It provides accurate simulation and location of mouth, teeth, tongue, pharynx, larynx, epiglottis, vocal cords, trachea, esophagus with usable lungs for both non-invasive and invasive procedures. Landmarks are realistic and response of the tissue is excellent. These new materials also improve robustness and durability.

This new product allows for practicing of a nasopharyngeal airway. As well for the rare cases when it is required, it serves for training in placing a nasotracheal airway. It includes a feature to make placing an advanced airway more challenging by creating various degrees of tongue edema.

High Standard. This product provides many unique advantages when focusing on correct performance of airway skills. The manikin have a special build with proprietary sensors to give real time feedback on parameters others ignore but which are important on a real patient.

Comprehensive Product. Includes Assisted Ventilations Trainer, Intubation Trainer (Learning How and Advanced Trainer, Intubating with a Group of People, Intubating while CPR is On-going, Providing Ventilations as Chest Compressions are Ongoing. It even includes a basic refresher on chest compressions and a knowledge bank of information related to how and why these techniques are performed."

Unique Physical Build for Superior Training. It provides for excellent look and feel but goes well beyond that. You feel realistic receive physical feel if you are squeezing the BVM when the chest compressions are expelling air. It will produce realistic audible suctioning when the person ventilating is not well timed with the person compressing. You receive both immediate real time feedback and a review of the performance.

Low Volume (LV) Accuracy: This manikin has the ability to perform low volume ventilations as the chest is moving. This protocol is often used with ROC, CAM, CAMP, ART, Pit Crew. It provides for exception fidelity with provision of dead air space, negative pressure in the lungs as the compression is released, measurement on very small amounts of air and real time feedback on the interaction between the chest compression and the ventilation. The ALS training systems come in 2 versions, one for the typical normal volume and the other adds low volume (LV) protocol. The LV option allows training in normal volume as well. ALS is available in ALS Airway CPR Pro(LV) and ALS Airway CPR PRO. More on Low Volume

Team Communication. This is the only product that deals with how to make sure communication is clear and understood when working in restrictive PPE. And it deals with the fact that you may be working with people who speak another language; that the in a large noisy room; that team members may have been trained in a different protocol.
