00:00 This is a laryngoscope, and when people become particularly unwell or when we give a patient

00:15 an anaesthetic, one of the kind of stressful things when you're learning that you have

00:19 to do in that situation is to get a breathing tube down so that you can take over the breathing

00:23 and the ventilation of that patient.

00:25 So again, these mannequins are a great way to be able to practice that, to experience

00:31 it.

00:32 And this is not quite the right size for this patient, but so that you can see it all, what

00:37 happens with the laryngoscope, that goes into the mouth of the patient, all the way down

00:43 to the back of the throat.

00:49 And then what we do is get a breathing tube that I'm going to get for Michael in just

00:52 a minute, and that breathing tube passes through the vocal cords and then down into the lung

00:58 pipe, into the trachea.

00:59 So that's I guess just one example, and the Premier last week had a look at that as well.

01:06 He was a little bit horrified.

01:07 He doesn't like the sight of that.

01:08 Yeah, nah, nah, he doesn't.

01:11 But this is one of the procedures that we can teach people to do in a way that's actually

01:16 really quite realistic.

01:17 And these mannequins, there are a whole series of things in their airway that we can change

01:22 remotely.

01:23 So we've got a control mechanism, there's a control room next door set up.

01:27 We control these mannequins wirelessly from the room next door.

01:31 So the people that are involved in running the training of the scenario are not actually

01:36 physically right nearby.

01:37 They're not far away, but they're not in your face.

01:41 And so the people that are doing the training, they're there, like they would be in the clinical

01:45 situation by themselves, and they're able to practice and learn that skill in an environment

01:53 that's actually relatively realistic and puts no patient at risk.

01:59 So yeah, there's many, many other things that we can do with these mannequins.

02:03 This one over here, it's got features like you can feel pulses in all the places that

02:09 you normally feel pulses.

02:11 You can give intravenous fluids and drugs through it.

02:14 You can catheterise it.

02:15 So it's got a bladder with fluid in it.

02:18 We can make it bleed as well.

02:20 So if we're doing trauma simulation, like you can see on the screen behind, we can make

02:24 it bleed from various parts and simulate all kinds of different trauma-based scenarios

02:30 as well.

02:31 So then what you do with the handle, you pull the handle up towards the corner of the room.

02:44 If you lever it like that, it'll break their teeth.

02:47 Yes.

02:48 So you just lift it that way.

02:49 Ah.

02:50 That's great.

02:51 You are a legend.

02:52 There's one.

02:53 Jeez, look at that.

02:54 You're alive, mate.

02:55 You're alive.

02:56 And if you can get this down, you'll be the first person that has done that.

03:03 Oh, come on.

03:04 Don't give that to me.

03:05 Let's see what's going to happen.

03:06 Do it.

03:07 Do it.

03:08 Do it.

03:09 Absolutely.

03:10 Nathan knows.

03:11 He knows I'm not going to do it.

03:12 No, you will.

03:13 You will.

03:14 You will.

03:15 We know you will.

03:16 He's a brand new mannequin.

03:17 That's the only reason they're the first person to do it.

03:18 Yeah.

03:19 Beautiful.

03:20 It's not there.

03:21 You're in trouble.

03:22 It's not there.

03:23 It's not there.

03:24 You're in trouble.

03:26 It's not there.

03:35 It's not there.

03:36 It's not there.

03:43 It's not there.
