How Lung Simulators Are Used in Pediatric vs. Adult Training

, ,
Effective respiratory care starts with hands-on training using realistic simulation tools. Lung simulators play a crucial role in preparing healthcare providers to manage airway and ventilation challenges for patients of all ages. Because pediatric and adult patients have very different respiratory anatomies and physiology, specialized lung simulators...

7 Reasons Automated CPR Devices Should Be in Your Protocol

,
Manual CPR can be very effective, but it’s also physically exhausting and hard to maintain at the right rhythm, especially during transport or extended resuscitation efforts. That’s where mechanical CPR devices step in. These systems provide reliable, consistent compressions that support patient survival and protect the healthcare...

What Should You Look for in a High-Quality Lung Simulator?

, ,
Lung simulators play a critical role in advancing respiratory care, ventilator design, and clinical training. The right tool helps clinicians, researchers, and manufacturers understand how respiratory devices will perform in real-world conditions. But what exactly makes a lung simulator “high-quality”?

How Medical Facilities Can Boost Recovery Rates: 4 Proven Methods

,
The number of patients that are “readmitted” to the hospital isn’t just a financial metric, it’s a powerful indicator of how well patients are recovering after discharge. For hospitals and clinics, improving patient outcomes starts with identifying potential gaps in care and equipping staff...

Does CPR Duration Matter? Understanding the Impact of Prolonged Resuscitation

,
Historically, resuscitation efforts were frequently halted after a certain duration if spontaneous circulation was not achieved. But in recent years, emerging studies suggest that longer resuscitation efforts may improve outcomes in select cases. Let's explore the evidence behind prolonged CPR and how mechanical CPR devices can support...

Understanding the Difference: Test Lungs vs. Lung Simulators

When you hear the word “test lung” and “lung simulator,” you may think they mean the same thing. Many people use them simultaneously. In fact, we have historically called our lung simulators "Training & Test Lungs "or TTLs – since they have several lung simulation, teaching and testing...
