Soft-embalmed (Modified Thiel) Cadaver. Task 1 – Watch and identify the structures of the nose and nasopharynx, ear and middle ear, and larynx during endoscopy. In the middle ear dissection, observe the ossicular chain palpation and the movement of the fluid over the round window (round window reflex). Task 2 – Insert the endotracheal tube into the suspended larynx. Observe the monitor and annotate. Watch how the endotracheal tube goes through the rima glottidis. Inflate the balloon cuff with air when it is past the level of glottis. While a different laryngoscope is used when doing endotracheal intubation, this demonstrates the laryngeal structures which must be identified during the simulation.
