Structured Abstract:
[Introduction] Cricothyroidotomy is an emergency surgical airway procedure which has been incorporated into an Advanced Surgical Trauma Course (ASTC) co-organized by Department of Surgery and Multi-disciplinary Simulation and Skills Centre. In order to enhance training quality and safety, our center proposed to change the use of pig larynx-trachea to human-data generated 3D-printed models, and further invented a more intricate one named Emergency Surgical Airway Simulator (ESAS) recently. [Method] We combined 3D-printing knowledge with other innovative technologies at affordable price to mimic the life-saving procedure as well as observable effects, including i) bleeding upon skin incision, ii) air gushing-out during cricothyroid membrane incision, iii) cheat rise and iv) fogging within endotracheal tube on bagging. A multi-disciplinary expert panel formulated a self-report “Scales of Emergency Surgical Airway Simulator (SESAS-17)” made up of 5-point Likert scales, examining the extent to which the simulator achieved satisfactory usability, in terms of Design, Realism (sub-categorized by “Physical”, “Procedural”, “Functional” fidelity), Functionality, Efficacy, Appraisal, and Safety. [Result] Six general surgeons and 3 Accident and Emergency (A&E) Physicians who performed cricothyroidotomy in a trial reflected on the immersive experience with positive feedback. [Discussion] For assessment and education purposes, this simulator can enhance psychomotor skills and cognitive preparation required for emergency airway management through deliberate practice on cricothyroidotomy alone, and, non-technical skills through scenario-based hybrid simulation in the near future.
