RAVAI-31 - Regional Anesthesia with SmarTissue/Vascular Access Training Package & Articulating Head

Practice both central line placement and regional anesthesia with Simulab's SmarTissue Regional Anesthesia and Vascular Access Training Package with Articulating Head is the only nerve block training solution that provides instructors and users feedback mechanisms to gain procedural accuracy enhance the training experience during Interscalene and supraclavicular nerve block skill development.

This trainer allows ultrasound practice with visualization of the most clinically relevant brachial plexus anatomy and needle tip to ensure proper manipulation, placement, and proximity to the nerves. The trainer consists of a body form and replaceable tissue embedded with SmarTissue technology, allowing the system to connect with any PC to provide needle-to-nerve visuals and audio verification of proper technique.

Includes:

• SmarTissue Upper Body Form
• Regional Anesthesia Replaceable SmarTissue
• Ultrasound Compatible CentraLineMan Tissue
• Articulating Head
• Patient Positioning Tray
• SmarTissue Software
• Universal Needle Adapter
• Hand Pump
• Carrying Case
• Venipuncture Pad with Nerves Non-Sterile Guidewires (25 Pack) 

Note: Laptop not included

Features:

• Includes body form with Regional Anesthesia Replaceable SmarTissue, nerve stimulator electronics, and SmarTissue software (PC compatible*)
• Ultrasound compatible for guidance during needle sticks and catheter placement
• Anatomically correct human torso with landmarks for enhanced realism
• Distinct “pop” is visualized and palpated when the needle enters into the neural sheath
• SmarTissue software interprets unique signals, illuminating an amber circle if the needle is proximal to the nerve and a red dot if the needle is inserted into the nerve Includes a simulated arterial pulse
• Can be injected with simulated anesthesia, which is naturally expelled (how) for repeated use.

Skills:

• Psychomotor skills associated with targeting the nerves of the brachial plexus for regional anesthesia 
• Needle insertion using Interscalene and/or Supraclavicular approaches
• Ultrasound imaging skills Transducer and needle manipulation and movement Visualize needle tip positioning, proximity, and placement verification
• Recognition of nerve bundles, arteries, veins, and muscular anatomy using ultrasound

Landmarks 

• Sternocleidomastoid Muscle
• Clavicle
• Interscalene Groove
• Internal Jugular and Carotid Artery (which pulses)
• Anterior and Middle Scalene Muscle
• Brachial Plexus
