What is the role of anatomic manikins?
Anatomic and non-anatomic manakins perform different but complimentary functions. Anatomic manakins are useful for the development of anatomic awareness including familiarity with the sequence of structural landmarks that signpost navigation within a patient. They are also useful for practicing bronchoscopic interaction with the patient e.g railroading an endotracheal tube, lung isolation techniques or bronchial tree exploration.
