A Leap Forward in Anesthesia Training
Traditional loss-of-resistance technique relies on subjective factors to identify entry to the epidural space, which make insertion a difficult procedure to master for trainees. Studies show up to 90 patient epidural placements may be necessary to reach basic clinical competency.
The CompuFlo Trainer links trainee tactile feel with visual and audible confirmation of pressure changes to verify the epidural space. CompuFloās real-time Dynamic Pressure SensingĀ® technology detects tissue changes that are imperceptible by touch. This intelligence allows the trainee to objectively discriminate between true and false loss of resistance and confirm location.
Instruction becomes more efficient as instructors, who previously depended solely on trainee feedback of their tactile feel, have visual and audible feedback of trainee needle movement during a procedure. Documentation is also generated for each procedure for review and trainee performance monitoring.
