Yesterday, our crews got hands-on with a high-fidelity simulation mannequin, using it to practice advanced airway management skills with our Hamilton T1 ventilators and video laryngoscopy equipment.

These sessions help keep our providers sharp, confident, and ready to deliver top-quality care when it matters most. 👏🔥

Thanks to Rod Kimble from Laerdal for making time to do a demo of their high fidelity mannequin line.
