About the Simulator
The Child CRiSis™ Starter Torso is part of a completely modular
system that lets you create a manikin to suit your needs. It is
ideal for ACLS, nursing, paramedic, and EMT training. The torso
features a completely functional CPR manikin of an eight-year-
old child with Life/form® Airway Management Trainer and
Defibrillation Chest Skin.
The Child CRiSis™ Starter Torso allows you to simulate
resuscitation and practice airway management skills including
intubation and suction; and perform defibrillation and CPR.
The Child Airway Management Trainer Head is the most
realistic simulator available for the training of intubation and
resuscitation skills. Nasco has taken great care to create a
trainer that is anatomically correct in respect to both size and
detail. Landmarks include nostrils, teeth, tongue, oral and nasal
pharynx, larynx, epiglottis, arytenoids, false and true vocal cords,
cricoid ring, tracheal rings, trachea, esophagus, lungs, and
stomach.
The Child Airway Management Trainer Head allows you to
practice oral, digital, and nasal intubation, as well as CPR.
Suction techniques can also be performed and evaluated. The
simulator was designed to use an uncuffed endotracheal tube
measuring up to 5.0 mm I.D.
The Child Defibrillation Chest Skin has been designed for the
Child CRiSis™ manikin to enable you, the customer, to safely
practice defibrillation. The Child Defibrillation Chest Skin has
been designed to absorb a maximum of 360 joules of energy*.
Although capable of absorbing 360 joules, we recommend that
the smallest energy level possible be used while training with
the skin.
The Child Defibrillation Chest Skin will enable you to practice
defibrillation using manual, semiautomatic, and automatic
external defibrillators (AEDs). When using any one of these types
of defibrillators in training, always follow the recommended
operating procedures for that particular defibrillator.
