Maintaining and Caring for Your Airway Head
In medical simulation and training, airway management is a fundamental skill that healthcare professionals must master. To facilitate effective airway management training, many institutions and educators rely on airway head simulators, which play a crucial role in creating realistic and immersive scenarios. However, just like any other medical equipment, airway heads require proper maintenance and […]
Standardised Patients vs Responsive Manikins
Your medical school may be used to operating with solely standardised patients, solely manikins or a mixture of both. Most places still use both, for different types of scenarios. There are certain medical scenarios where it is more convenient and effective in terms of training to use a real person to simulate a scenario instead […]
