ABSTRACT:
An anatomical simulator useful in training proper tracheostomy and nasogastric tube placement and tracheostomy tube cuff inflation is disclosed. The simulator includes a simulated trachea and simulated esophagus separated by a simulated tracheoesophageal wall. The simulated wall is flexible, such that when a tracheostomy tube is positioned therein and a cuff thereon is overinflated, the wall extends outwardly in the direction of the simulated esophagus.
