Aurora the Ventilation Training Simulator

Available in Light and Dark Skin Tone

Discover the Aurora manikin, a cost-effective choice for enhanced respiratory and ventilation training scenarios.

This advanced medical simulator is designed to strengthen critical skills in decision-making, team coordination, and patient care, with a particular focus on respiratory management, ventilator use, and Advanced Life Support (ALS) techniques.

Its capability to provide detailed patient condition assessments and simulate a wide array of clinical situations makes Aurora an essential tool for professionals in Respiratory Therapy, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Emergency Nursing, ICU/Critical Care, and Physicians.

Advanced Internal Simulated Lung Technology

Aurora takes medical simulation to new heights with its Internal Simulated Lung (ISL), which is based on the world-renowned ASL 5000 Breathing Simulator technology.

This technology ensures a deeply immersive, hands-on training experience, featuring a tetherless system to facilitate lifelike ventilator interactions, ideal for training healthcare professionals.

Aurora is compatible with nearly any mode of ventilation, it accurately simulates respiratory mechanics, maintains therapeutic PEEP levels, and breathes spontaneously while being ventilated to prepare healthcare professionals for a wide range of ventilation scenarios. 

Real-Time Feedback for BVM Ventilation Training

Aurora is designed to teach and enhance bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation skills for healthcare professionals.  

Users can practice and perfect their BVM techniques under various clinical scenarios while receiving real-time feedback  on critical factors such as volume, pressure, and rate of delivered breaths.  

Aurora's advanced sensors and feedback systems allow for the recreation of different complexities encountered in real respiratory emergencies to provide learners with a realistic and challenging training environment.

Mastering Non-Invasive Ventilation Techniques

Aurora allows learners to also gain hands-on experience with non-invasive ventilation strategies, including the management of various respiratory conditions using CPAP and BiPAP systems.

Aurora ensures that medical professionals build the competence and confidence to utilize non-invasive ventilation techniques effectively and safely in clinical settings.

Realistic Critical Care Ventilation Training

The Aurora manikin serves as a vital resource for critical care and ICU training, providing an authentic experience with ventilator settings, alarms, and patient reactions.

It responds accurately to a multitude of patient conditions and disease states such as Asthma, COPD, ARDS, and emphysema.

Additionally, it simulates patients with spontaneous breathing during ventilation, covering the entire spectrum from those with weak breathing efforts to those ready for extubation, making it an indispensable tool for bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and hands-on clinical practice.

Key Training Features of the Aurora Manikin:

• Highly realistic ventilation training at an affordable cost
• Compatible with your own real equipment including bag-valve mask, non-invasive ventilation (CPAP/BiPAP), and ICU ventilators
• Ideal for team training due to comprehensive patient assessment capabilities
• Provides dynamic feedback through chest movements, imaging like x-rays and CT scans, realistic sounds, and a lifelike Patient Monitor interface
• Facilitates patient transport scenarios with its wireless capabilities
• Includes a Debriefing environment with objective simulation data, as well as real-time feedback for BVM ventilation and CPR
• Features user-friendly software for intuitive patient simulation management and custom scenario creation

Aurora's key simulation capabilities underscore its role as an invaluable asset in medical education, particularly for those specializing in respiratory therapy and critical care.
