Use of 3D Printing High-fidelity Craniofacial Manikin to Teach Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation

Use of 3D Printing High-fidelity Airway and Craniofacial Manikin as an Education Tool to Improve Learning Efficiency of Teaching Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation

The aim of this study is to enhance the learning efficiency and ability of problem-solving for student of Department of Respiratory Therapy with the innovative 3D printing high-fidelity manikin.

Study Overview

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Conditions: Satisfaction, Personal
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Traditional model education; Other: 3D-printed high-fidelity craniofacial manikin model education

Detailed Description

Background :

Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation plays an important role in treatment of respiratory failure. Respiratory Therapists should be familiar with operating ventilator, choosing the adequate interface, and putting the interface on patients' face correctly. Simulation-based clinical training was limited because of lack of the high-fidelity manikins or simulators. To enhance the simulation-based clinical training, the investigators develop 3D printing models and applied into the medical school and hospital training.

Study Design :

The first part is a laboratory in-vitro experiment; the second part is a randomized controlled trial of medical education study.

Methods :

The 3D scanning and 3D printing technology will be using to create the high-fidelity manikin with an upper and lower airway tract. The 3D printing material will be choosing to be able to close real human organ especially considering the soft biological tissue. The present study will be divided into two parts. The first part is a laboratory in-vitro experiment, which aims to verified the function of the high-fidelity manikin; the second part is a medical education study.

Effect :

The investigators expect the use of 3D high-fidelity model in training students of Department of Respiratory Therapy will enhance the learning efficiency and ability of problem-solving.

The experience and outcome of the study will further extent to medical school and hospital training.

Key words:

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