“…This approach also fosters the safety and wellbeing of the trainee, instructors and any future patients, as the learning strategy is employed prior to facing a real-life clinical situation and thus reduces the risk of iatrogenesis.

“…This approach also fosters the safety and well-being of the trainee, instructors and any future patients, as the learning strategy is employed prior to facing a real-life clinical situation and thus reduces the risk of iatrogenesis. 5–8 It is important to mention that the simulators can be developed by the students themselves, which is a process that stimulates their creativity. 9 The sensory realism and cost-effectiveness of any simulator should be positively highlighted; however, the main limitations of simulators are that they cannot mimic a complete surgical procedure, do not actively bleed, and require an evaluator.…”

A Low-fidelity Simulator for the Development of Vascular Ligation Skills

Training simulators can facilitate the acquisition and development of basic surgical skills, and they constitute a safe and humane method that does not harm animals in the process. The objective of this work was to create and evaluate a low-cost simulator to help undergraduate students of veterinary medicine acquire and practise vascular ligation skills. A training model was made by using easily accessible and inexpensive materials. Fifteen students, without prior surgical experience, each performed the orchiectomy technique on the simulator seven times. The emphasis was on performing vascular ligatures in both testicles of the simulator ( n = 14), in two different scenarios: firstly, with the contents of the blood vessels not under pressure; and secondly, with the syringe plunger depressed by 1 ml to pressurise the blood vessels. The outcomes of the procedure in the simulator were based on three qualitative criteria: Correct (no ‘bleeding’), Sufficient (light ‘bleeding’) and Incorrect (heavy ‘bleeding’). After the seventh attempt, all participants were able to perform vascular ligatures with at least a score of Sufficient in both scenarios. By the 10th ligature attempt, they were all able to perform the procedure with a score of Correct ( p < 0.05). There was a trend toward a decrease in the time taken to carry out the procedure as learning progress was made during training, with this being significant from the 12th attempt ( p < 0.05). The use of this low-cost simulator represents a useful didactic tool, which supports the acquisition and practise of manual skills by using methods that do not involve the use of animals. In addition, this training simulator could be useful in distance learning, in view of the ready accessibility of the materials required for its construction.

“…12 Simulation-based training has been proven to be effective in improving clinical practice because it provides a safe controlled environment for practice, repetition and feedback to reach competency. 13,14 Future endeavours need to provide surgeons with skills to help them respond effectively to their environment and prevent them burning out. 15 Mindfulness is defined as the practice of living in the moment.…”

Objective: Medical students and surgeons are living lives full of stress, which leads them to be in an accelerated state that can result in mistakes and frustration. Our constant desire to be better means that we can forget to be in the present. Mindfulness has been emerging as a new therapy that has been fruitful in different areas. The objective of this study is to explore whether mindfulness therapy could improve laparoscopic training in medical students. Design: A pilot study was performed with 10 first-year medical student volunteers. The students were randomly assigned to a control group or the mindfulness group. The control group received no intervention at all. The mindfulness group received mindfulness sessions for 15-20 min free of charge before the laparoscopic training. Five modified tests in laparoscopic simulation were included. The time for two pre-tests and three tests was measured after an assigned training time. Setting: The study was performed at the Center for Surgical Skills Training at the University of Chile, Santiago. Participants: The study included 10 first-year medical student volunteers from Universidad de Los Andes (50% male and 50% female). We chose to conduct the study with first-year students because they had not had any previous experience in surgery or laparoscopy. Results: All 10 participants finished the trial. There were no significant differences in the times for the pre-tests between the two groups. The best improvement between the pre-tests and tests was achieved by the mindfulness group for the colour matching task with an improvement of 72 AE 1.1 s. The mindfulness group showed a better performance in all final tests compared with the control group, which was statistically significant (P 5 0.05). Conclusion: In this study, the test times for the group who were exposed to mindfulness therapy were improved (reduced) compared with those of the control group. The development and implementation of mindfulness laparoscopic simulation training may be feasible. Further studies are justified to confirm that hypothesis.
