Medical Skills Trainer – Puncture Techniques

This skills training and practical handbook for students in their clinical rotation or internship, physicians at the start of their residency, and all operating room, intensive care, or anesthesia nurses provides detailed step-by-step instructions through photo series and illustrative short videos: It covers the most common practical skills for nearly all medical specialties—from the sterile handling of equipment and numerous puncture techniques to complex procedures, such as intubation, resuscitation, endoscopy, or dilation tracheotomy.

With 1,625 illustrations and 57 tables that are invaluable in everyday life, it clearly and comprehensively illustrates a wide variety of procedures: Every action—every step—is illustrated with its own image; even common mistakes are specifically depicted. In addition, many skills are also demonstrated in dynamic, step-by-step video clips. Challenging quiz questions allow users to test their own understanding of how to interpret the measured values.
