Pericardiocentesis Simulator with Chest Tube and Pneumothorax

The Nasco Life/form® Pericardiocentesis Simulator with Chest Tube and Pneumothorax has been designed specifically to teach the skills needed to perform these difficult procedures correctly, as well as ongoing chest tube maintenance and the management of pre-hospital chest trauma. The simulator has a pressurized tension pneumothorax site and a site for the surgical placement of a functional chest tube. Fluid color, volume, and viscosity can be controlled by the instructor. The manikin may be used with any commercially available closed water seal drainage unit.. Accurate placement of the needle will allow for the withdrawal of fluid from the simulated pericardium.

Features and Benefits:

• Allows surgical placement of chest tubes to treat pleural effusion by draining fluids from the pleural space.
• Has a pressurized tension pneumothorax site to relieve air that has accumulated within the pleural space and is restricting lung inflation.
• Pericardiocentesis may be performed in the left subxiphoid space and in the left fifth intercostal space.
• Two cut-away viewing areas provide awareness of the anatomical relationships between the skin surface, musculature, ribs, and lungs.
