He wasn't doing too good when I got there. I ended up having to cric him and when I auscultated for the ET tube placement, I could tell he had a tension pneumothorax. As I performed an almost-flawless needle decompression, he coded. No amount of CPR was bringing this guy back.
 My $30,000, fully-interactive patient is now a paper weight.   |

 Maybe he needs shock.

I have to admit, I read the title and was thinking "HIPA?" Strong work

Quoted: Nice piece of kit... It's unbelievable. An operator controls it from a laptop. In addition to being a full dummy for intubations, crics, and compressions, etc, the operator can make the chest rise and fall at an abnormal rate with specific lung sounds, give it a flail chest, make it spurt blood out of wounds, give it an abnormal, palpable pulse (which you can palpate anywhere a human has a pulse), needle decompressions, and chest tubes. It even has 'veins' you can use to start IVs with (to include seeing the flash) Not pictured are the two others: infant and child. Pretty cool lab. |

I have no idea why I clicked on this.
I said to myself, the last thing I want to see is someone working a code, but, I got sucked in anyway. At least it is realistic. If you end up having to cric somebody and then do a needle decompression, them coding is probably on the agenda also. I have done both more than once, but never on the same patient. |

I ordered a 100k METI simulator a couple weeks ago, waiting for it to show up. This thing is amazing on what it can do.

The human patient simulator looks familiar: http://www.meti.com/products_ps_hps.htm I heard this one was 30k, but this lab also got them (there were two others: infant and child) for free... I'll get pics of the arthro-surg stations next time I'm there too. |

We have many sim man type and this one is pretty cool. I find the "heads" we practice on are the best to learn intubation and these guys are the best for mega code. The nasal intubation is HARDER than on a real person. Just remember practicing on plastic is like shooting a 22 when your getting a 30-06 for christmas

Supposedly we are starting work on them in the next couple weeks. Well that is if the RN students don't keep breaking them.

Thats funny right there! We just got 3 of those for doing an ACLS retention study. They are better than Meti-man according to everyone that has used them so far.
