“…Simulator use is becoming a common part of otolaryngology training. 4 Simulators allow junior clinicians to learn skills, acquire knowledge, and prepare for and perform new procedures. In addition, they provide an opportunity for repetition, to consolidate learning.…”

“…Simulation in ENT has been growing; 4 the opportunity to practise new skills in a controlled setting has clear benefits for patient safety and soothes operator anxiety. Peritonsillar abscess simulation has been attempted in a number of innovative ways, including: inserting water balloons in the oropharynx region of a resuscitation mannikin; 5 constructing a model oropharynx from latex moulage; 6 creating an oropharynx in a coffee cup made from gelatine and a balloon, placed under a Resusci Anne mask; 7 and a cod liver oil capsule in a custom-made mould, secured to a Laryngotech intubation simulator.…”

Background The junior otolaryngologist is responsible for recognition and drainage of the peritonsillar abscess. Although other simulators have been proposed, there is still a need for an accessible, educationally useful, low-cost peritonsillar abscess simulator to build skills and confidence in the novice. Methods The peritonsillar abscess simulator was constructed from basic disposable healthcare equipment and a party balloon. Evaluation of this Newport Quinsy Simulator was performed by expert and novice clinicians, who provided feedback in the form of Likert scales and free-text qualitative responses. Results Overall, 24 clinicians evaluated the simulator. All felt the simulator was useful for the novice otolaryngologist, and represented the key anatomy and motor skills needed to drain a peritonsillar abscess. Qualitative evaluation highlighted the educational usefulness of the simulator as a peritonsillar abscess training device. Conclusion The Newport Quinsy Simulator is affordable, accessible, easy to use and educationally valuable to the novice otolaryngologist.

“…5 A diverse assortment of simulators is available to otolaryngologists, several of which are presented in Table 1. [6][7][8][9][10][11] Evolving technology allowed the development of simulators with physiologic responses; motion, force, or eye-tracking sensors on participants or simulators; and fabrication techniques, such as 3-dimensional printing, 12,13 which enable the creation of patient-specific anatomic models. [14][15][16] Simulators do not have to be expensive; some have been created from gelatin, silicone, plastic tubes, and rubber bands or other inexpensive materials found in offices and clinics (Figure 2).…”

Simulation training has taken a prominent role in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery (OTO-HNS) as a means to ensure patient safety and quality improvement (PS/QI). While it is often equated to resident training, this tool has value in lifelong learning and extends beyond the individual otolaryngologists to include simulation-based learning for teams and health systems processes. Part III of this PS/QI primer provides an overview of simulation in medicine and specific applications within the field of OTO-HNS. The impact of simulation on PS/QI will be presented in an evidence-based fashion to include the use of run and statistical process control charts to assess the impact of simulation-guided initiatives. Last, steps in developing a simulation program focused on PS/QI will be outlined with future opportunities for OTO-HNS simulation.

“…There are numerous simulation models documented in the literature for the different subspecialties of otolaryngology. 1,2 A systematic review by Javia et. al in 2011 revealed mostly temporal bone drilling and a few myringotomy simulators for otology; nasal endoscopy, endoscopic sinus surgery and epistaxis simulators for rhinology; tonsillectomy and cleft palate repair models for the oral cavity; cricothyroidotomy simulators for procedures in the neck; and intubation, laryngeal dissection, and bronchoscopy models for laryngology.…”

Background. Simulators in laryngology are an essential part of training. They provide an avenue for medical students and resident trainees to practice valuable psychomotor skills outside the realm of an actual patient encounterthereby decreasing the risk of possible patient morbidity. Herein we present three locally manufactured simulation devices that can be used to train residents in laryngology procedures.Objective. To present three simulation platform devices (Laser Box, Flexible Endoscopy Simulation, Thiel Cadaver Chair) and their applications in simulation-based learning Methods. The Laser Box, Flexible Endoscopy Simulation, and Thiel Cadaver Chair were manufactured by outside parties designated as 'Laser Machinists'.Results. Ten (10) units of the Laser Box, two (2) units of the Thiel Cadaver Chair, and two (2) units of the Flexible Endoscopy Simulation were constructed. They were used in a laryngology postgraduate course in our institution to teach the participants on endoscopies and laser phonosurgery. Conclusion.Simulation for otolaryngologic procedures should be an essential part of training. The learning curve for procedures such as laryngoscopy and laser phonosurgery can be addressed with the production of simulation platforms. Most institutions in the Philippines still adopt the "see one, do one, teach one" approach, which lacks standardization and puts patients at risk. Various task trainers for laser phonosurgery and flexible endoscopy have been reported in the literature, but there seems to be no published data on the use of a cadaver chair for simulation. In the COVID-19 era, aside from being excellent teaching tools, simulation platforms derive their importance in helping train residents, educate medical students, and review consultants -maximizing skill development -and thereby decreasing repeated attempts, and indirectly, exposure to the SARS-CoV-2. Future validation studies are required for the models, with the eventual long-term goals to further standardize training, increase patient safety and incorporate a simulation-based curriculum for the specialty locally.
