In this webinar participants will discover the future of tracheostomy education with Avtrach, the only wearable tracheostomy simulator that brings high-fidelity realism to airway management training. By combining the authenticity of a live standardized patient with a cutting-edge, sensor-enabled device, Avtrach delivers an unmatched level of realism for learners to practice suctioning, trach care, and communication skills in a safe, immersive environment. This innovation revolutionizes respiratory care simulation by closing the gap between classroom learning and real-world clinical experience.
Join healthcare simulation experts Megan Weldon, CHSE, and Amy Cowperthwait, CEO, RN, MSN, CNS, CHSE-A, for an in-depth look at the Avtrach system. The instructors will guide clinical simulation educators through AvTrachโs advanced features, including realistic secretion management, customizable patient conditions, and intuitive setup. Whether you are new to healthcare simulation or an experienced educator, discover how Avtrach elevates competency, empathy, and confidence in tracheostomy care.
