  • Patent number: 10553132
    Abstract: Provided are methods for creating a pressurized cadaver model used for surgical procedure training. In the method the internal jugular veins, common carotid arteries, brachial arteries, superficial femoral arteries and femoral veins thereof of a cadaver are exposed. One internal jugular vein is ligated and a drainage tube is disposed in the other internal jugular vein. An arterial catheter is inserted into one brachial artery and connected to a pressure transducer and an arterial cannula is placed in a carotid artery and connected to a fusion pump. Fluid is injected into the artery through the cannulated carotid artery. A representative example of the surgical procedure includes resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta.
