Simulators
Simulation training at the University of Kentucky includes the use of state-of鈥搕he-art simulation models for task training including airway management, virtual bronchoscopy, echocardiography, central line placement and epidural placement. In this manner, we provide simulation resources capable of teaching, enhancing and facilitating the practice of anesthesia across a wide variety of skills sets and anesthesia cases. Additional simulation resources are utilized and available through the 好色先生HC Simulation Center ().
Part-task trainers are designed to replicate only part of the environment. Part-task trainers do not require the simulator to be a representation of the whole body with physiological responses that affect the whole body. Instead, part-task trainers replicate anatomy, and in some cases, physiology of a single portion of the human body. The skills taught with part-task trainers segment a complex task into its main components.
