The Chamberlain Group’s Trauma Thoracotomy simulator used in a live demonstration of resuscitative thoracotomy at the Essentials of Emergency Medicine / EMCrit conference January 31, 2018 in New York City.
Developed in collaboration with Dr. Marc de Moya and Mass General Hospital, our TraumaThoracotomy Trainer provides an immersive training environment for residents to develop crisis response skills without compromising patient safety. The trainer provides an immersive training experience in low-frequency/high-stakes emergent thoracotomy procedures:
■ Open chest tube insertion (bilateral)
■ Percutaneous chest tube insertion (bilateral)
■ Left anteriolateral thoracotomy (ED thoracotomy)
■ Pericardiotomy followed by open cardiac massage
■ Cardiac laceration repair of right ventricle with active bleed & realistic cardiac movement
■ Aortic cross-clamping of descending thoracic aorta
■ Cross-clamping of pulmonary hilum
■ Team training in crisis resource management trauma or thoracic surgery scenarios
