Utilise the Subclavian Access Features on the Five-Year-Old Multipurpose Patient Simulator to improve proficiency and confidence in core clinical skills. This accessory is indispensable to medical education, particularly in practical skills sessions.
Incorporating these features into the simulator allows users to simulate paediatric Port-a-Cath and Hickman/Broviac catheter sites, both of which facilitate direct central venous access to the heart. This, in turn, allows users to simulate fluid, medication, and blood infusions.
Subclavian vein cannulation is a valuable skill for medical students. Proper techniques offer several benefits to patients, including the use of reliable landmarks, increased patient comfort, and a lower risk of infection or arterial damage relative to other sites.
