3D printing airway trainers

Build improved 3D printed airway trainers for better performance during airway/endoscopic procedures.

Project Overview

Airway management is important in keeping a patient stable in various medical environments. While novel techniques and innovative devices for better airway management have decreased the difficulties medical professionals face, developing airway management skills in difficult and unique scenarios is essential to positive and effective patient outcomes. Developing a method of using 3D printing and existing patient imaging to create realistic airway training manikins would allow medical professionals to practice airway management skills with physiologically consistent results.

Project Status

Team is currently working on getting open-access head and neck CT scans to create anatomical outlines for our trainer. Our team has recently built the lower support component for our trainer, 3D printed at Makerspace.
