Tracheostomy Care Simulator
The Tracheostomy Care Simulator is the most realistic approximation of a patient available today. Careful
attention to detail is incorporated into this pseudo-patient. Suctioning techniques, proper cuff inflation,
dressing changes, and other techniques can be practiced and critiqued. The simulator replicates an adult
male containing oral and nasal passages and all appropriate anatomy. The chest area contains left and right
bronchi and the bronchial tree. The esophagus dead ends 2 in. below the trachea opening. The side of the
neck and chest area over the bronchial tree allow viewing of the suction and trachea tube.
The viewing window at the bottom of the simulator shows the location of a suction catheter. Oral,
nasopharyngeal, nasotracheal, and tracheal suctioning can be practiced. Cleansing of the stoma area can be
performed just as on an actual patient. Changing dressings and ties is also possible, and the experience is
very close to an actual one. Confidence and practice are at your fingertips with this Tracheostomy Care
Simulator.
Tracheostomy tube is not included.
