NATCO SimMan - Host a Hands-On Based Donor Management Workshop at YOUR OPO.

NATCO , The Organization for Transplant Professionals recently purchased a Laerdal SimMan ® to enhance offerings at various NATCO meetings to augment the Donor Management Curriculum.   As a step to further enhance the professional development of procurement staff, NATCO is pleased to announce its new Donor Management Workshop that integrates the SimMan ® . This 7-hour workshop, presented by two highly qualified facilitators, will provide hands-on and didactic training to OPOs and their staff in their local facilities.

The curriculum for the interactive SimMan ® workshop has been prepared by faculty representing OPOs across the nation that vary in size, ensuring that the curriculum represents the best practices of the donation community. NATCO has used medical professionals, including intensivists and respiratory therapists, to ensure that all aspects of donor management are integrated into the workshop.  This simulated human patient allows practitioners/coordinators to interact with the patient and coordinator team in many different case scenarios. The SimMan ® system provides a realistic, simulated ICU monitor that incorporates the following data: ECG, BP PA pressures, PCWP, SpO 2, Et-CO 2, CXR, and 12-lead EKG. In addition, it also provides realistic bronchoscope training, needle thoracotomy, chest tube insertion, and airway skills.
