The SMART Resuscitation Mask Leak Trainer device was designed to help individuals who may be called upon to resuscitate babies or young children, to assist in learning or improving mask ventilation technique. SMART stands for Standardised Measurement of Airway Resuscitation Training.
This training device forms part of the UK Resuscitation Council’s Advanced Resuscitation of the Newborn Infant (ARNI) course, and can also be used for ongoing practice, for self or observed certification, or for research purposes.
We offer two versions of this device. The Standard version for the ARNI Training Course or an Advanced version for Training/Research. The Standard version is supplied with a preterm and term manikin whilst the Advanced version includes your choice of preterm, term or young children manikin.
Used as a training aid, it permits risk free practice and certification
Provides objective and immediate feedback on mask ventilation technique
Can be used individually for refresher practice or formal certification
As a research tool it provides a unique capability to analyse performance
Both versions are easy to run with user friendly, effectiveness feedback
The SMART Mask Leak Trainer device was originally developed to form part of the UK Resuscitation Council’s (ARNI) course. Those licensed to run ARNI courses will need the Standard version and the preterm and term manikins. The Standard and Advanced version software displays the generated (bag or T piece) lung pressure, flow rate, inspired/expired volumes along with % difference (due to mask leakage).
