SimCenter - Virtual Tour: Operating Room |
 |
The operating room suite is designed to replicate the environment that the anesthesiologist, surgeons, and nursing staff practice in on a daily basis to maximize the realism of the locale. Our state of the art equipment includes the same technology available in our "real"
operating room.
|
 |
The operating room is equipped with a difficult airway cart replicating those available throughout the institution. Equipment suggested by the ASA’s Task Force on the Management of the Difficult Airway. |
 |
The SimMan high fidelity simulator offers the excellent training opportunities for basic and advanced airway management. Trismus, tongue edema, pharyngeal swelling, laryngospasm and reduced cervical spine mobility, alone or in any combination, may be replicated on the simulator and add to the challenge of managing the airway. Basic and advanced airway management skills are a specialty offered to nearly all medical and surgical disciplines if so desired. |
 |
Advanced fiberoptic equipment, both flexible and rigid models, with a full complement of video accessories allow the participant to tackle the most difficult airway situations. The video system allows students in the operating room and the education/observation room to participate in the airway management procedure. |
 |
The operating room is stocked with state of the art equipment that is up to date and is the exact equipment used in the operating rooms at Hartford Hospital as well as many other institutions. A variety of clinical scenarios, e.g., loss of an oxygen source, equipment malfunction, malignant hyperthermia, and low and high pressure alarm situations can be recreated to test and train operating room personnel for critical events that either rarely or commonly take place in this setting. Training for these emergencies and potential crises benefit the practitioner immensely and improves patient safety. |
