The Regional Anaesthesia Simulation Manikin has been designed by a Consultant Anaesthetist at the Manchester and Salford Pain Centre for training anaesthetists in correct needle placement in Nerve Blocks for pain management.
- Knowledge of surface anatomy applied to the individual nerve blocks
- Orientation of image and identification of appropriate radiographic landmarks
- Identification point of needle insertion and angle of direction
- Recognition of contact with deep bony structures
- Principle of withdrawing and directing needle to alter the angle
- The end point of simulation is the correct radiographic appearance
- Accurate needle placement is required to guarantee the efficacy of many diagnostic pain clinic blocks and is mandatory when neurolytic solutions are used.
- Radiological screening to confirm needle placement should be routine and training for this needs to be practical
- Attempts at regional anaesthesia by trainees who are not familiar with the techniques may result in uncomfortable and prolonged procedures for patients
Features:
- The manikin consists of a specially coated plastic human skeleton, head covered in artificial skin and fabric covered torso, on which trainees can practice the placement of needles under X-ray image intensifier control
- The X-ray density of the manikin is low so that the doses of radiation used during simulated procedures are reduced
2 Year Guarantee
- This model, manufactured by Adam,Rouilly, comes with a 2 Year Guarantee.
This guarantee applies to models which have been used correctly and covers durability and functionality.
Skills:
The Manikin can be used to teach the following Nerve Blocks:
- Trigeminal ganglion block or radiofrequency needle placement
- Cervical facet joint injection
- Epidural injections at all spinal levels
- Lumbar sympathetic block, splancnic, coeliac and superior hypogastric nerve blocks
- Lumbar facet joint injection and radio frequency denervation of posterior primary ramus
- Sacroiliac joint injection
What's Included:
- A special DVD and leaflet illustrating the use of the manikin
- Rigid carrying case
