The acquisition of expertise required for performing life-saving techniques can be achieved by using the Chest Decompression and Drainage Option on the MIKE and MICHELLE Five-Year-Old Paediatric Care Simulator.
The accessory is specially designed to aid in the training of paediatric pleural decompression and drainage, during resuscitation and trauma situations. Chest decompression is a crucial step in the treatment of paediatric patients with tension pneumothorax. The device includes a ribcage that is equipped with a drain and decompression bag, as well as two tubes, a filling and drain tube.
To prevent injury to critical structures, such as the intercostal vessels and nerves, medical students must exhibit a high level of proficiency in executing this procedure safely.
