METI Human Patient Simulator – version4 and version6 (more .....)

The Human Patient Simulator (HPS) is used by trainees by programming appropriately complex scenarios for that level. Several methodologies can be used to teach, including any combination of the following:

• patient condition known or unknown to trainee
• diagnosis and / or treatment
• pauses for discussion or run in real time
• equipment in-service, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting
• teamwork and communication skills (medical content is irrelevant)
• evaluation / testing (try until you pass, not one chance with a grade)

HPS systems are based on physiologic and pharmacologic modeling programs which create realistic patient responses automatically, based on user interventions.  The centre has two adult manikins.

AIRTRAQ Optical Laryngoscope

the industry’s first disposable optical laryngoscope, is a visual guiding system for routine and complex airway use.  The high definition optical system provides a magnified view during laryngoscopic procedures.

Ready to use and easy to insert, the AIRTRAQ has a built-in anti-fog system and a light source.  AIRTRAQ laryngoscopes include adult, pediatric, and infant sizes, nasotracheal and double lumen tube configurations.  The AIRTRAQ DL facilitates double lumen endobronchial tube insertions and the AIRTRAQ NT, available in adult and pediatric sizes, is for use during nasal intubations using endotracheal tubes. 

Additional AIRTRAQ applications 
    •   Emergency settings
    •   Cervical spine immobilization
    •   Fiberscope, gastroscope guidance
    •   Tube exchange capabilities
    •   Vocal cord visualization
    •   Foreign body removal
