Low Cost Simulator for Heart Surgery Training

Abstract: ObjectiveIntroduce the low-cost and easy to purchase simulator without biological material so that any institution may promote extensive cardiovascular surgery training both in a hospital setting and at home without large budgets.MethodsA transparent plastic box is placed in a wooden frame, which is held by the edges using elastic bands, with the bottom turned upwards, where an oval opening is made, "simulating" a thoracotomy. For basic exercises in the aorta, the model presented by our service in the 2015 Bra… Show more

“…Simulators with the same purpose, found in the active search for medical equipment sites, range from approximately US $ 161.66 to US $ 289.54. Although they represent an increase in education expenditures, these technologies meet the expectations of new generations of students in the health area, besides the ease in transportation 19,26 . The low weight, approximate size and appearance of an infant, good resistance to shocks and environmental phenomena, consequent, low maintenance of the simulator favors the use in the environment to retrain the training at any time.…”

“…Regarding the cost, the prototype proved to be signi cantly cheaper compared to the market average. Simulators for the same purpose range from 160 to 290$ [19,26]. In a study by Drummond et al (2016) [25], the authors concluded that knowledge retention was better among students who participated in the simulation than among those who participated in the traditional lecture.…”

“…Then the arms and legs were attached to the TNT and the head was then attached to the silicone tube and the air reservoir to the body. In this way, a simulator with a low relative cost of US $ 15.00 (Figure 1D) was constructed, compared to other similar resources found in the market whose cost varies between US $ 300 and US $ 500 (dollars) 20 .…”
