3D printing airway trainers
Creating a method for 3D printing airways from CT scans or MRIs.
Project Overview
Airway management is an integral part of keeping a patient stable in many medical environments. While training medical practitioners with simple airway trainers has improved patient outcomes, this has not had the same effect on patients with abnormal airways. The use of 3D printing from existing patient imaging to create realistic and individualized airway manikins would assist medical professionals, allowing them to practice airway management skills on lifelike models.
