A haptic-enabled simulator for cricothyroidotomy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cricothyroidotomy is an emergency procedure that is performed when the patient's airway is blocked, and less invasive attempts to clear it have failed. Cricothyroidotomy has been identified as an essential skill for military readiness. This training is relevant to more than 40,000 U.S. military medics, and thousands of civilian health care providers. Current training methods use animals, cadavers and plastic mannequins. Animal models do not have the correct anatomy. Cadavers do not have the correct physiology. Mannequins do not adequately cover the full range of anatomical variations. In this paper, we describe our effort to build a computer-based cricothyroidotomy simulator to address these problems.

Soft Tissue Modeling Using ANFIS for Training Diagnosis of Breast Cancer in Haptic Simulator
Soft tissue modeling for the creation of a haptic simulator for training medical skills has been the focus of many attempts up to now. In soft tissue modeling the most important parameter considered is its being real-time, as well as its accuracy and sensitivity. In this paper, ANFIS approach is used to present a nonlinear model for soft tissue. The required data for training the neuro-fuzzy mo...
متن کاملSurgical Simulator for Hysteroscopy
Computer-based surgical simulation promises to provide a broader scope of clinical training through the introduction of anatomic variation, simulation of untoward events, and collection of performance data. We present a haptically-enabled surgical simulator for the most common techniques in diagnostic and operative hysteroscopycervical dilation, endometrial resection and ablation, and lesion ex...
متن کاملExtending DIMPLE: a rigid body haptic simulator for interactive control of sound
We previously introduced DIMPLE, a software environment allowing the run-time creation of a physically dynamic, haptically-enabled virtual scene using the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol [18]. Object properties could be requested over OSC to allow modulation of parameters for sound synthesis or visualization. Examples were given of PureData patches that controlled such scenes, making haptic v...
متن کاملSimulation and training of lumbar punctures using haptic volume rendering and a 6DOF haptic device [6509-14]
The lumbar puncture is performed by inserting a needle into the spinal chord of the patient to inject medicaments or to extract liquor. The training of this procedure is usually done on the patient guided by experienced supervisors. A virtual reality lumbar puncture simulator has been developed in order to minimize the training costs and the patient’s risk. We use a haptic device with six degre...
متن کاملFar Forward Feasibility: Testing a Cricothyroidotmy Simulator in Iraq
This study describes our experience with using a virtual reality simulator, CricSim, to enhance the training of combat medics to perform a cricothyroidotomy (surgical airway) while in Iraq. Over a six month period, 65 medics used the simulator as part of a Combat Medic Advanced Skills Training class while in Iraq and were asked to evaluate it. Students self-assessed comfort level with the proce...
