Healthcare specialists practice laceration repairs on a cadaver. Sutures \u2013 or stitches \u2013 can be made using different types of thread, such as catgut, silk or a synthetic like nylon.<\/p>\n

A service member examines a port after removing it from a cadaver\u2019s chest. The use of a port reduces the number of injection sites a patient will need during lengthy medical procedures, such as when receiving chemotherapy. All injected medicines are administered through the port.<\/p>\n

After finding black and white marks throughout the cadaver\u2019s internal organs, service members discuss whether this could have been an indication of cancer.<\/div>\n

A service member inserts a laryngoscope into a subject\u2019s throat. Laryngoscopy is a medical procedure used to view the vocal cords and other internal workings of the throat before an artificial airway is inserted to aid breathing.<\/div>\n

\"2308-20160206_cadaver_09\" <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The medical team practices placing an oropharyngeal airway, which helps direct medicine to the stomach and oxygen to the lungs.<\/div>\n

All service members got to hold and examine a cadaver\u2019s heart to lessen the shock of dealing with internal anatomy. They also practiced massaging the heart. This \u201ccardiac massage\u201d is another form of resuscitation similar to CPR usedto restore and maintain circulation after cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n
