Abstract

We describe how a Respiratory Function Monitor (RFM) can aid during simulation-based manikin training. We demonstrate how a RFM can provide quantitative and qualitative assessment of the trainee's resuscitation technique. A RFM can assist i) to identify correct mask hold and positioning techniques; ii) to assess the delivered airway pressures and adjust the inflating pressures to deliver the appropriate tidal volume.

Zusammenfassung

Anhand von Beispielen demonstrieren wir, wie ein Atmungsfunktionsmonitor (RFM) während des Trainings zur quantitativen und qualitativen Beurteilung des Auszubildenden verwendet werden kann. Ein RFM kann die optimale Maskenposition identifizieren und Rückkopplung über das vorhandene Maskenleck geben. Weiterhin kann der Beatmungsdruck gemessen und ggf. adaptiert werden, um ein adäquates Atemzugsvolumen zu verabreichen.

Key words
