Project Overview

There is an acute need for pediatric airway models which record
objective measurements of intubation procedures. A device
which accurately reflects the geometry of a pediatric airway and
incorporates sensitive, discrete pressure sensors with intuitive
user interface feedback will help create standards for physicians and improve their performance in similar procedures. This device allows real-time analysis of infant intubation procedures and provides visual force feedback.
