Central line simulation and training device

摘要

An anatomical simulation training device is disclosed in an embodiment herein. The anatomical device includes an anatomical model comprising a quadrant of a torso. The model includes a first opening and a second opening, wherein a first passageway connects between the first and the second opening. The model further includes a third opening, wherein a second passageway connects between the third opening and the second opening. The first passageway is configured to receive a first conduit, and the second passageway is configured to receive a second conduit. The first and second conduits are removable and replaceable. The model is comprised of, in part or in whole, a hydrogel, and said model quadrant torso mimics at least a portion of a human or non-human animal quadrant torso, and simulates at least one predetermined physical characteristic of a human or non-human animal torso with at least fifty percent or more similarity.

主权项

1. A method of arranging an anatomical simulation central line training device, comprising:
providing an anatomical simulation training device comprising an anatomical model, comprising a quadrant of a torso, said torso comprising a superior side, an inferior side, a distal side and a medial side, a first opening in the distal side and a second opening in the inferior side of the model, wherein a first passageway connects between the first and the second opening, the model further comprising a third opening in the superior side of the model, wherein a second passageway connects between the second opening and the third opening, wherein the model is comprised of, in part or in whole, a hydrogel, and said model quadrant torso mimics at least a portion of a human or non-human animal quadrant torso; providing a first tubular member configured to be slidably engageable within the first passageway and extend between the first and second openings; providing a second tubular member configured to be slidably engageable within the second passageway and extend between the second opening and the third opening; providing a first conduit configured to attach to the first and second tubular members, wherein said first conduit is configured to be disposed within the torso and extend between the first opening and the second opening; providing a third tubular member configured to be slidably engageable within the second passageway and extend between the second and third openings; providing a second conduit configured to attach to the third tubular member, said second conduit configured to be disposed within the second passageway and extend between the second opening and the third opening.
