Cost-effective task trainers for mastering drill handling in pediatric intraosseous procedure
Background
Intraosseous (IO) access is a life-saving procedure when intravenous access is impossible in pediatric emergencies. Proficiency in IO technique, particularly drill handling, patient positioning, and site identification, is essential to minimize complications and improve outcomes.
Methods
To address the high cost and limited accessibility of commercial simulators, low-cost task trainers were developed using 3D printing and silicone casting. These trainers focused on drill handling, allowing trainees to progressively acquire procedural skills.
Results
Initial validation was conducted with experts at Meyer Children’s Hospital during a European Pediatric Immediate Life Support (EPILS) course. Structured feedback indicated high satisfaction with tactile realism and educational value. Based on this feedback, a second prototype with a fluid simulation system was implemented to enhance realism further. Nursing professionals, often first responders in emergencies, particularly benefited from the improved version, reporting increased confidence and competence.
Conclusion
The cost-effective IO task trainers offer a scalable, realistic alternative to commercial models, expanding access to essential training. Their affordability and usability make them suitable for diverse healthcare settings, enhancing preparedness for pediatric emergencies.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation.
We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria:
Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation
Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation
Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation
Leadership for simulation
Simulation operations
Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
