Three-dimensional (3D) printing has become a useful tool within the field of medicine as way to produce custom anatomical models for teaching, surgical planning, and patient education. This technology is quickly becoming key component in simulation-based medical education (SBME) teach hands-on spatial perception tactile feedback. Within fields such interventional radiology (IR), this approach SBME also thought be an ideal instructional method, providing accurate economical means study human...

A realistic hemorrhagic cervical cancer model was three-dimensionally (3D) printed and used in a postgraduate medical simulation training session.Computer-assisted design (CAD) software the platform of choice to create refine model. Once prototype finalized, another allowed for addition neoplastic mass, which included openings bleeding from neoplasm os. 3D printing done using two desktop printers three different materials. An emergency medicine case presented obstetrics gynecology residents...

Cricothyroidotomy is a life-saving medical procedure that allows for tracheal intubation. Most current cricothyroidotomy simulation models are either expensive or not anatomically accurate and provide the learner with an unrealistic experience. The goal of this project to improve techniques by utilizing rapid prototyping using 3D printing technology expert opinions develop inexpensive trachea simulators. In doing so, emergency can be made accessible, accurate, cost-effective reproducible....

Abstract Background Three-dimensional (3D) models have the unique ability to replicate individualized cardiac anatomy and may therefore provide clinical benefit. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) currently relies on preoperative imaging for accurate sizing, type of used, avoidance complications. modelling benefit optimal TAVI planning. The goal this study is assess utility 3D in prediction paravalvular leak (PVL) post TAVI. Methods Retrospective analysis five patients who...

A subgroup of patients who have an oronasal fistula live in areas that limited access to oral prosthetics. For these individuals, a temporary prosthesis, such as palatal obturator, may be necessary order speak, eat, and breath properly. The creation which requires highly trained prosthodontist, can take time expensive. Through the current proof-of-concept study, there is attempt create patient-specific obturator through use free publicly available software, low-cost desktop 3-dimensional...

Objective To characterize the estimated prevalence and clinicodemographic features of Ménière's disease (MD) using current diagnostic criteria. Methods A cross‐sectional study was undertaken at our tertiary academic referral center. All patients seen in Otolaryngology clinic with ICD‐10 diagnoses MD, from January 1, 2013 to July 31, 2022 were identified. Chart review determine MD meeting AAO‐HNS Clinicodemographic evaluated against a comparator group without health system. Results Of 806 we...

Objective To examine long-term (>5 yr) low-frequency hearing preservation after hybrid cochlear implantation. Study Design Retrospective cross-sectional study. Setting Tertiary care center outpatient clinic. Patients All patients older than 21 years implanted with a Cochlear Hybrid L24 device from 2014 to 2021. Main Outcome Measure Changes in pure-tone average (LFPTA) were calculated at each of several time points relative the date The proportion preserved LFPTA last follow-up and...

The purpose of this technical report was two-fold. First to describe the concept, development and initial implementation a three-dimensional (3D) printing network focussed on manufacturing simulators simple devices necessary functioning rural hospital clinics. Second design, fabrication user-based evaluation cost-effective tongue depressor dispenser. successful setup 3D were modelled using four five constructs derived from Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). dispenser...

While participation in both recreational and commercial fisheries is common, it not risk-free. Puncture wounds caused by fishhooks are commonly incurred people who fish recreationally commercially. Despite literature that details the challenges of treating fishhook injuries specific techniques for removal, only a single publication focuses on teaching removal to medical trainees staff physicians. The aim this technical report investigate efficacy using 3D-printed task trainer simulating...

Objective: Demonstrate the applicability of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in assessing effectiveness surgery for superior canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS) Canadian healthcare context.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has been used in recent years to produce educational materials medicine. Recent studies have found that fields such as otolaryngology may benefit from the use of 3D teaching medical students and residents. Our team will conduct a systematic review survey current uses interventions otolaryngology. We aim assess how similar printed models are human anatomy, their surgical utility, uses.
