The Child Crisis Starter Torso is a training resource designed for honing airway management proficiency when working with paediatric patients. It accurately replicates the anatomical dimensions of a 5-year-old patient.
Through the manikin, users have the opportunity to practice intubation, ventilation, suction, CPR, and jaw thrust techniques. Additionally, the manikin offers utility in a variety of core procedures such as:
- Airway management
- Arrhythmia management
- Defibrillation
- ECG monitoring (4 sites)
- Manual carotid pulse
- Pacing
It also allows students to enhance their mastery of advanced airway management, embracing techniques such as oral, digital, and nasal intubation along with the following:
- Endotracheal Intubation
- Oesophageal Obturator Airway
- Pharyngeal Tracheal Lumen Airway
- Laryngeal Mask Airway
- Oesophageal Gastric Tube Airway
- Combitube Insertion
- King System Insertion
The presence of the defibrillation chest skin facilitates defibrillation practice, utilising conventional manual, automatic, or semi-automatic external monitor defibrillators. An internal load box within the system proficiently absorbs the entirety of the shock s energy output, effectively ensuring the protection of students and equipment.
Overall, the Child Crisis Starter Torso is an essential resource that is suitable for students in medical, nursing, and healthcare disciplines, with a specific focus on those involved in paediatric care.
