DEVICE FOR EXTRACORPOREAL MEMBRANE OXYGENATION CARDIO-PULMONARY RESUSCITATION TRAINING AND VASCULAR CUT DOWN TRAINER

摘要

The present invention is directed to a device for training practitioners in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation CPR (ECMO-CPR or ECPR). The device takes the form of a high fidelity mannequin having a detachable and replaceable vascular cut-down neck and groin tissue blocks. The device also includes an artificial, heart-like thoracic pump and tube system within the chest to allow actual placement of ECMO cannulas through the neck or groin. The tube system in the chest is connected to vessels in the neck and groin tissue blocks. The device is configured to allow for simulated blood flow in and out of ECMO cannulas. It also allows for manipulation of blood flow within the thoracic pump and tube system to mimic certain pathophysiologic changes such as but not limited to hypervolemia, low or increased cardiac output, and development of clot in the system.
