Hi Fred

ATLS South Africa has a video on DVD that it uses prior to the animal
session on our courses (we still use the animal lab as we cannot afford
the cost of the manikins). It shows chest tube, needle and surgical crico,
cut down, and DPL performed on a fresh cadaver, and CVP insertion on a
live patient in a resus bay. These were all done with the required
permissions from the relevant Ethics boards. You may be able to get a copy
from atls at saol.com - the contact person is Di Baker, the National
Coordinator for ATLS.


Hope this helps
