Development and Evaluation of the Advanced Joint Airway Management System for Educational Utility in Endotracheal Intubation, as Assessed by Expert Paramedic Instructors.

Introduction: Between 2011 and 2014, The Combat Casualty Training Consortium research study sought to evaluate all aspects of combat casualty care, including mortality, with a special focus on the incidence and causes of potentially preventable deaths among U.S. combat fatalities.

Endotracheal Intubation Performance in Novices: Comparing the Training Effect Resulting From Two Airway Management Training Simulators.

Introduction: Between 2011 and 2014, the Combat Casualty Training Consortium research study sought to evaluate all aspects of combat casualty care, including mortality, with a special focus on the incidence and causes of potentially preventable deaths among American combat fatalities. This study identified a major training gap in critical airway management. Because of the high rate of morbidity and mortality associated with poor or incorrect airway management, an effort to address this training gap was necessary.

Feasibility of a perfused and ventilated cadaveric model for assessment of lifesaving traumatic hemorrhage and airway management skills.

Background: Training health care providers to manage common life-threatening traumatic injuries is an important endeavor. A fresh perfused cadaveric model with high anatomic and tissue fidelity was developed to assess performance of hemorrhage and airway management skills during a simulated polytrauma scenario.

Methods: Fresh human cadavers were obtained within 96 hours of death.

The SimPORTAL fluoro-less C-arm trainer: an innovative device for percutaneous kidney access.

Introduction And Objectives: Achieving proper renal access is arguably the most challenging component of percutaneous nephrolithotomy. A core skill required during this procedure is the use of C-arm fluoroscopic imaging and parallax techniques for proper needle insertion into a predetermined calyceal papilla. The trainers available for these skills include virtual reality (VR) simulators and physical models requiring actual fluoroscopy and radiation exposure precautions.
