The manikins are now available for use in pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) courses where nurses and other clinical staff practice breathing tube insertion in very young patients. Volunteers used fundraiser money to purchase a range of realistic newborn and infant dolls, which are life-size, anatomical human models that are used for teaching.
“The new training models will enable staff attending the PALS class to practice basic and advanced airway management skills,” said Lisa Bearden, director of education at Marshall North. “I am so grateful for the generosity of the Auxiliary in making this purchase possible.”
Correct placement of the hose can be verified with an inflation test so participants know when they got it right.
Bearden turned to auxiliary members when their equipment showed age-related wear and tear. The group of volunteers unanimously voted to spend nearly $ 1,400 on replacing the dolls.
