“…9 A prior study has shown that practicing on animal models allows physicians to become familiar with cricothyroidotomy. 10 From our experience and reports from the United States, we found that exposure to tracheotomy for otorhinolaryngology residents has been declining, and residents perform fewer tracheostomies each year. 11 Due to concerns for inadequate training of young residents, we developed an animal model-based tracheotomy course.…”

A tracheotomy is a basic operation for the otorhinolaryngologist. According to reports from the United States and from our experience, there has been a steady decline in the number of tracheostomies performed by young resident doctors. Due to concerns for inadequate training of young residents, we developed a tracheotomy course consisting of a lecture, a live animal model, and questionnaires. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of this training model. Twelve volunteer resident doctors joined the training course and, following a lecture by a senior surgeon, practiced tracheostomies with a 4-month-old female swine weighing 32 kg. We recorded the procedure time, blood loss, and complications. The doctors’ procedural competence was recorded using questionnaires before and after the training. All operations were completed within 30 minutes, and the blood loss was less than 5 ml. There were no serious acute complications. After the training, young residents had improved scores on surgical landmark recognition, overall procedural competence, confidence in performing the procedure, and understanding of the surgical procedures and equipment ( P < .05). Our findings reveal that an animal model-based tracheotomy course is an effective training model for young resident doctors.

“…There are a variety of cricothyrotomy simulators available for clinicians to practice on, including cadaver-based models, porcine models, live-animal models, and manufactured simulators. Cricothyrotomy training on porcine models has been documented and accepted as a training model for learning this infrequently performed procedure [13]. However, many of these models do not include a critical obstacle in doing a successful cricothyrotomy: intraoperative bleeding [14].…”

PURPOSE: Implement a constructivist approach in thoracic drainage training in surgical ex vivo pig models, to compare the acquisition of homogeneous surgical skills between medical students. METHODS:Experimental study, prospective, transversal, analytical, controlled, three steps. Selection, training, evaluation. Inclusion criteria: a) students without training in thoracic drainage; b) without exposure to constructivist methodology. 2) Exclusion criteria: a) students developed surgical skills; b) a history of allergy. (N = 312). Two groups participated in the study: A and B. Lecture equal for both groups. Differentiated teaching: group A, descriptive and informative method; group B, learning method based on problems. A surgical ex vivo pig model for training the chest drain was created. Were applied pre and post-test, test goal-discursive and OSATS scale. RESULTS:Theoretical averages: Group A = 9.5 ± 0.5; Group B = 8.8 ± 1.1 (p = 0.006). Medium Practices: Group A = 22.8 ± 1.8; Group B = 23.0 ± 2.8 (p <0.001). CONCLUSION:Through the constructivist methodology implemented in the thoracic drainage training in surgical ex vivo pig models, has proven the acquisition of surgical skills homogeneous compared among medical students.
