In this paper, the authors present a physical model developed to simulate accurate external ventricular drain (EVD) placement with realistic haptic and visual feedbacks serve as platform for complete procedural training. Insertion of an EVD via ventriculostomy is common neurosurgical procedure used monitor intracranial pressures and/or CSF. Currently, training tools are scarce mainly limited virtual reality simulation systems. The use 3D printing technology enables development anatomical...

In this paper, the authors present a physical model developed to teach surgeons requisite drilling techniques when using an endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) skull base. EEA is increasingly used for treating pathologies of ventral and ventrolateral cranial Endonasal unique skill in terms instruments used, long reach required, restricted angulation, gaining competency requires much practice. Based on successful experience creating custom simulators, 3D printing build training from...

Comprehensive training and skill acquisition by urological surgeons are vital to optimize surgical outcomes patient safety. We sought develop validate PACE (Prostatectomy Assessment Competence Evaluation), an objective procedure specific tool assess the quality of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.Development content validation was performed deconstructing prostatectomy into 7 key domains utilizing Delphi methodology. Reliability construct were then assessed using de-identified videos...

Thoracoscopic esophageal atresia (EA)/tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) repair is technically challenging. We have previously reported our experiences with a high-fidelity hybrid model for simulation-based educational instruction in thoracoscopic EA/TEF, including the high cost of tissue these models. The purposes this study were (1) to create low-cost synthetic EA/TEF simulation and (2) evaluate content validity simulator.Review literature computed tomography images used computer-aided...

Thoracoscopic diaphragmatic hernia (DH) repair has a high recurrence rate. Effective simulation modeling may improve technical performance for thoracoscopic DH repair. The study purpose was to evaluate measures of validity evidence low-cost simulator.Synthetic diaphragm/intestine connected to-scale left-sided neonatal rib cage and then covered with synthetic skin. Forty participants evaluated the simulator, using survey ratings that were analyzed test content internal structure...

Laparoscopic duodenal atresia (DA) repair is a relatively uncommon pediatric operation requiring advanced minimally invasive skills. Currently, there are no commercial simulators available that address surgeons' needs for refining skills associated with this procedure. The purposes of study were (1) to create an anatomically correct, size-relevant model and (2) evaluate the content validity simulator.Radiologic images used abdominal domain consistent full-term infant. Fetal bovine tissue was...

BACKGROUND: Pediatric-specific difficult airway guidelines include algorithms for 3 scenarios: unanticipated tracheal intubation, mask ventilation, and cannot intubate/cannot ventilate. While rare, these instances may require front-of-neck access (FONA) to secure an until a definitive can be established. The aim of this study was develop pediatric FONA simulator evaluated by both anesthesiology otolaryngology providers, promoting multidisciplinary management. METHODS: A 3-dimensional–printed...

Previous studies have compared the usefulness of teaching associates versus mannequin trainers for learning physical exam skills. Little work has been done to assess prior students' interaction with associates.We studied effects mannequin-based simulators on student comfort levels toward male genitourinary examination.First-year medical students (N = 346) were surveyed before and after a curriculum their examination.The significantly increased (p < .001) exam. However, pre-post improvements...
