ABSTRACT:
A manikin can be used to demonstrate the diagnosis and treatment of pneumothorax. A doll in the form of an infant has a ribcage placed in the thoracic cavity, and a balloon is received on one side and a dark filler is on the other. The balloon side will transilluminate as in an infant with pneumothorax to demonstrate the diagnosis; and, needle thoracentesis can be performed to deflate the balloon and to demonstrate the treatment. The ribcage provides realism in requiring accuracy in insertion of the needle between the ribs.
