F4L cadavers most realistic model for training laryngeal mask insertion

New article in Anesthesia & Analgesia journal:

Comparison of a Novel Cadaver Model (Fix for Life) with the Formalin-Fixed Cadaver and Manikin Model for Suitability and Realism in Airway Management Training

KEY POINTS
• Question: Is a novel cadaver model a suitable and realistic model for acquiring airway management techniques?
• Finding: The novel cadaver model was ranked best for mask ventilation and was considered the most realistic for laryngeal mask insertion.
• Meaning: The novel cadaver model could be a suited and more realistic alternative to manikins in training airway management techniques to novices.

Andries J. van Dam, started his career as collection manager / conservator at the Anatomy Museum of the Leiden University Medical Centre.

His research interest has primarily been focused on fluid preservation. He has published several papers in journals such as Collection Forum and Cell Preservation Technology. During this period he also represented national and international professional societies such as ICOM-CC.

His pragmatic approach to classic problems encountered in fluid preservation has lead to several discoveries and innovative ideas such as an alternative for formalin, a decision-making model for the conservation and restoration of fluid preserved specimens, the Alcomon Indicator System, the Universal Stopper Jar Opener, and Fix for Life, a safe embalming method preserving life-like morphology.
