Three-dimensional Airway Suction Model

The Application of Three-dimensional Printing High-fidelity Simulation Respiratory Models in Airway Suction and Advanced Mechanical Ventilation

The main purpose of this study is to use 3D printing technology to high-fidelity simulation respiratory models Furthermore, the results of this study will extent to medical school and hospital.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Satisfaction, Personal
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Tranditional model education; Other: 3D printed educational model

Detailed Description

Background：

Most clinical teaching materials are expensive and inaccessible. To promote the accessibility of anatomy models and student learning effects in our medical school and hospital, we use 3D printing technology to print high-fidelity simulation respiratory models and apply them in medical education.

Study Design：

This is a single-site prospective study of medical education. Participants who are students of the School of respiratory therapy will be randomly divided into to control group and experimental group. Both groups will receive the same teaching program. The traditional education model will be used in the control group, and the 3D printed model will be used in the experimental group.

Methods：

The 3D scanning technology will be applied to create drawing files of high-fidelity simulation respiratory models, which are drawn by professional 3D drawing staff. Then, we print out the models with 3D printing technology. The output material will be close to the softness of the human models. The medical education of this study will be divided into two parts. The first part is the teaching of realistic airway suction; the second part is the simulation of advanced mechanical ventilation.

Effect：

We expect benefits that the use of 3D printing high-fidelity simulation respiratory models in medical education. For example, it can reduce the cost of education models and enhance efficacy in medical education. The experience and outcome will be shared with the medical school and hospital.

Keywords：

3D printing; medical education model; high-fidelity simulation; respiratory care.
