ABSTRACT:
An anesthesia administration instructional aid comprises a pipe, a penetrable material in the pipe, and a reservoir located at a predefined distance from the penetrable material. A method for learning administration of epidural and combined spinal epidural anesthesia comprises the steps of: (a) obtaining an anesthesia administration instructional aid, wherein the instructional aid comprises a pipe, a penetrable material in the pipe, and a reservoir located at a predefined distance from the penetrable material; (b) filling a fluid into the reservoir; (c) inserting a larger needle having a lumen and a tip through the penetrable material such that the tip of the larger needle rests between the reservoir and the penetrable material; and (d) inserting a smaller needle having a tip through the lumen of the larger needle such that the tip of the smaller needle pierces and rests inside the reservoir.
