This manikin is designed тео to teach the theory, anatomy, and skills needed to manage pre-hospital chest
trauma, as well as ongoing chest tube maintenance. The right side of the manikin has two cut-away viewing
areas to provide awareness of the anatomical relationships between the skin surface, musculature, ribs, and
lungs. The left side has a pressurized tension pneumothorax site to relieve air that has accumulated within
the pleural space and is restricting lung inflation. There is also a site where chest tubes may be surgically
placed to treat pleural effusion by draining fluids from the pleural space. The fluid color, volume, and
viscosity is controlled by the instructor. The Chest Tube Manikin is perfect for teaching the concepts and
mechanics of closed water-seal drainage systems like Pleur-Evac type units.
