Nursing Assessment of the Genitourinary System III: Percussion and Auscultation

Nursing Assessment of the Genitourinary System III: Percussion and Auscultation

The genitourinary system maintains the body's fluid balance, waste excretion, and overall homeostasis. Proper assessment is essential for early detection of disorders, with percussion and auscultation integral to this evaluation. These methods help identify signs of kidney or bladder issues and provide important diagnostic clues.Percussion for Kidney TendernessPercussion is used to assess tenderness and detect kidney and bladder abnormalities. A common method for determining kidney tenderness...

Area of Science:

Medical Simulation
Urology
Virtual Reality

Background:

Current urinary catheterization training relies on non-realistic mannequins, hindering psychomotor skill development.
Inadequate training increases the risk of urethral damage, such as false passages, due to excessive force during catheterization.

Purpose of the Study:

To design and develop a novel haptics-based mixed reality simulation trainer for urinary catheterization.
To provide realistic force and visual feedback for improved psychomotor skill acquisition and navigation of urethral anatomies.

Main Methods:

Development of a software system integrated with a customized haptic feedback device.
Creation of diverse catheterization scenarios to simulate real-world challenges, including anatomical blockages.

Main Results:

The developed simulation platform offers realistic force and visual feedback.
It enables trainees to practice various catheterization scenarios, enhancing psychomotor skills and anatomical navigation.

Conclusions:

The haptics-based mixed reality trainer has the potential to significantly improve urinary catheterization training.
It offers a realistic and effective alternative to traditional simulation methods, reducing patient harm.
