Develop and practice the skills necessary to gain proficiency in using ultrasound for regional anesthesia procedures of femoral nerve
Guide catheter insertions in femoral artery and vein
Ultrasound imaging skills include:
Using ultrasound system controls
Transducer positioning and movement
Recognition of nerves, as well as arterial and venous anatomy
Using ultrasound to target femoral nerves for regional anesthesia procedures
Guide needles to blood vessels for cannulation
Performing vascular access procedures
Access vessels on both limbs
Integrated hand pump system creates arterial pulsations and prevents femoral artery from collapsing
Self-healing tissue is extremely realistic in ultrasound imaging characteristics and feels like human tissue
Regional anesthesia - contains the femoral nerve and its branches along with the saphenous nerve and fascia iliaca nerve
Central venous access - contains anatomically correct vascular anatomy of right lower torso including femoral artery and vein, aorta, IVC, common iliac artery and vein, internal iliac artery and vein, great saphenous vein, and simulated deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in lower left femoral vein
Inject simulated anesthetics to verify needle tip location and to practice the entire regional anesthesia procedure
Anatomical landmarks include pubic symphysis, iliac crest, and inguinal ligament for palpation
Use 18-21 gauge needles and 7 French catheter to access venous system
Use repeatedly, injected simulated anesthetics are automatically expelled
Accommodates full threading of guide wires and catheters
Venous and arterial fluids removed during central catheter insertions training are easily refilled using quick fill ports
Positive fluid flow in vessels provides users with immediate feedback when vessels are accessed
Simulated blood fluids in arterial vessels differ from venous system for easy verification of successful venous access procedures
Performs well using any ultrasound imaging system with appropriate transducer (recommended ultrasound transducer, high frequency linear array ultrasound prove 5.0-12 MHz)
Includes two 235 ml bottles of simulated blood refill solution, 1 red (arterial) and 1 blue (venous)
Comes with Thermoform platform to keep model in place and for storage
Made in the U.S.A.
