Introducing the Subclavian Access Option, an accessory specifically crafted for compatibility with the MIKE and MICHELLE Five-Year-Old PEDI Nursing Care Patient Simulator.
Incorporation of this elective accessory provides the manikin with the capability to realistically mimic Port-a-Cath and Hickman/Broviac catheter sites, establishing a direct pathway for central venous access to the heart. This indispensable feature grants medical students the opportunity to enhance their competence in subclavian vein cannulation, enabling the simulated delivery of fluids, medication, and blood.
Moreover, the Subclavian Access Option empowers students to cultivate confidence in recognising anatomical landmarks. This proficiency substantially improves patient comfort, while concurrently reducing the risk of infections or arterial injuries.
