“…The rise of 3D printing technology has revolutionized the production of practical simulators, making them affordable, highly accessible, and with a lower environmental impact. This has stimulated the development of new studies and the integration of modern methodologies by institutions and educators worldwide, leading to the incorporation of simulators to overcome pedagogical limitations associated with conventional methods ( 6 , 7 , 11 , 12 , 16 , 19 , 21 , 25 , 29 , 32 , 36 ).…”

“…Among these approaches, practical simulators based on models and mannequins are considered the most valuable resource for teaching the practical skills required for this procedure. Despite the widespread application of simulation technology in various educational domains, there is still a shortage of studies related to its use in anesthesiology, both in the medical and veterinary fields (6,7,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23).…”

Epidural anesthesia in dogs is a locoregional anesthesia technique used in veterinary medicine, becoming an important integrated application in the anesthetic protocol to provide safer and more effective analgesia to patients. For this, professionals must adhere to rigorous guidelines and possess technical skills. In this context, in veterinary education, the development of practical clinical skills represents a crucial aspect in the training of these professionals. However, traditional teaching methods have proven insufficient to ensure a consistent level of competence among recent graduates. The introduction of non-animal alternatives for educational purposes has contributed to the development of simulation-based teaching, an innovative and accessible field capable of enhancing pre-clinical proficiency in students and reducing the use of live animals and cadavers. Despite its application in various areas of veterinary education, there are no conclusive results regarding the development of accessible simulators capable of effectively enhancing training in epidural anesthesia in dogs. Therefore, this article represents a pioneering study aimed at sharing a method for creating SimuVet, a realistic simulator for training epidural anesthesia in dogs. The simulator was fully developed by veterinary researchers with limited experience in 3D printing and, after preliminary analysis, demonstrated excellent performance and ultrasonographic anatomy. Future work will focus on the formal validation of this simulator with the aim of improving the teaching and learning process for students and experts in performing epidural anesthesia in companion animals.
