Three otolaryngologists designed a teaching aid at "Pepe Portilla" Provincial Children Teaching Hospital in Pinar del Rio in 2006. It was shown by means of this model the different anatomical structures of the oro-pharynx and the behavior to be followed in presence of a bleeding in patients underwent a tonsillectomy. Disposal and low cost materials were used for the design . A promotion of 100 percent was attained in students from the Brigade 88 knowing the oropharyngeal anatomy as well as the techniques for the hemostasis in presence of bleeding in patients undergone a tonsillectomy.
