Task Simulators
Simulation training at the University of Kentucky includes the use of state-of–the-art simulation models for task training including airway management, virtual bronchoscopy, echocardiography, central line placement and epidural placement. In this manner we provide a simulation center capable of teaching, enhancing and facilitating the practice of anesthesia across a wide variety of skills sets and anesthesia cases.
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.












Airway Management Task Simulators
Several mannequins are available to practice a wide variety of airway management techniques on the adult and pediatric patient. components.
