Vascular Ventilation

Advancing the fidelity of cadaveric dissection and new device training. Vascular ventilation (V.V.) brings vasculature and hollow organs to life through inflation. Vascular ventilation as a perfusion method is ideal for surgical training in general anatomy or as a model to give the practitioner a more realistic environment in which to practice new procedures. This method is different from fluid perfusion in that errors do not yield uncontrollable bleeding. Instead the learner can see the error and work to correct it in a controlled field. Imagine being 10 steps into a 50 step procedure when a vessel is injured. Fluid perfusion would require control of the injury before moving to the next step. Vascular ventilation allows the instructor to review principles of control in a dry field and the freedom to move on with the training if desired.
