Abstract:
A simulator intended for learning tracheal intubation includes: an anatomic dummy element (1) reproducing at least one buccal cavity (2) provided with a tongue (4), with an epiglottis (7) and with the corresponding glossoepiglottic vallecula (8); a simulation system (15) capable of determining at least one physiological parameter of a patient subject to tracheal intubation; at least one force sensor (13) positioned on the dummy element at the glossoepiglottic vallecula so as to measure the force applied at this level by the blade (11) of a laryngoscope (12) handled by the operator; and transmission element (14) for providing the value of the measurement conducted with the force sensor at the input of the simulation system; wherein the simulation system is laid out for taking into account the value of the measurement conducted with the force sensor in order to determine the physiological parameter.
