Introducing the Chest Decompression and Drainage Option, an optional add-on designed for the PEDI Airway Trainer. This versatile accessory empowers healthcare students to cultivate proficiency in life-saving techniques.
The apparatus consists of a ribcage structure equipped with a drain and compression bag, along with a filling and drain tube. Its design is specifically tailored to support the instruction of pleural decompression and drainage, thereby enhancing the simulation of resuscitation and trauma scenarios. Chest decompression constitutes a vital step in the care provided to patients with a tension pneumothorax.
Medical and healthcare students can minimise the potential damage to critical structures, such as the intercostal vessels and nerves, by demonstrating a substantial level of skill and competence in safely conducting these diverse procedures.
