Neck: Cricothyroidotomy

TraumaMan^® System - Procedures

NECK: Cricothyroidotomy is a procedure which can be performed on this part of the trainer. In addition to the simulated human tissue structure on the exterior of the neck, the trainer includes a simulated cricoid cartilage, thyroid cartilage, and cricothyroid ligament in this area. To be more lifelike the trainer also includes airflow in the trachea for a realistic response during a practice procedure.

Neck Features:

	Includes the Thyroid and Cricoid cartilage which can be palpated through the neck tissue
	The system is designed for either needle or surgical cricothroidotomy
	Similar to a real procedure, when the cricothyroid membrane is cut, there will be an audible “pop” and there will be a rush of air
	Each tissue set should be used for two student procedures, and then it can be replaced with a new neck tissue set
