Using lightly embalmed cadavers for training in Emergency Medicine techniques

Medical gross anatomy is taught in groups and in an active manner‐ it is our belief that clinical procedures of the human body are optimally taught in the same manner. We have partnered with the UAB Department of Emergency Medicine to develop curricula designed to provide an introduction and hands‐on approach to advanced anatomical and procedural education for medical students or beginning residents. It is the objective of the anatomy sessions to expose the resident or student to various anatomical details for consideration of function, physical diagnosis, trauma, and resuscitation. Clinical lectures with anatomy review coincide with lab sessions utilizing lightly embalmed or fresh frozen cadavers. Emergency Medicine faculty demonstrate proper procedural techniques including: airway intubations (nasotracheal, tracheal, fiberoptic, and translaryngeal), cricothyrotomy, tracheostomy, thoracentesis, pericardiocentesis, venous cutdown, diagnostic peritoneal lavage, laceration repair, nerve blocks, joint aspirations, dislocations, etc. Realizing that medicine deals with the human body in all of its manifestations and realizing that neither resident student nor faculty can determine the ultimate use to which this information will apply for each individual, it is the objective of the anatomy sessions to provide a broad exposure of gross structure and simple practice for clinical purposes.
