Preparation of Samples for Electron Microscopy01:20

Preparation of Samples for Electron Microscopy

5.5K
To be visualized by an electron microscope, either transmission or scanning, biological samples need to be fixed (stabilized) so the electron beam does not destroy them and dried thoroughly (desiccated/dehydrated) so the vacuum does not affect them. Fixation needs to be done as quickly as possible because the sample properties will start changing as soon as it is removed from its natural environment. For example, in a tissue sample, the oxygen levels begin decreasing, causing an altered...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Surgical Education
  • Medical Simulation

Background:

  • Training congenital heart surgeons presents significant challenges, particularly for complex intracardiac procedures.
  • The Senning operation is a sophisticated technique requiring specialized training.
  • Current training methods may not fully address the complexities of such surgeries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the utility of wet lab training for congenital heart surgery.
  • To showcase the Senning operation as a model for advanced surgical simulation.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of using explanted porcine models for surgical training.

Main Methods:

  • Simulation of the Senning operation was performed using an explanted porcine model.
  • The wet lab environment allowed for hands-on practice of the intracardiac technique.
  • Detailed procedural steps were replicated to mimic real surgical conditions.

Main Results:

  • The porcine model provided a realistic platform for practicing the Senning operation.
  • Wet lab simulation facilitated a deeper understanding of the surgical nuances.
  • Mentors and trainees could identify and address potential challenges in a controlled setting.

Conclusions:

  • Wet lab training, utilizing porcine models, offers a valuable method for teaching complex congenital heart surgeries like the Senning operation.
  • This simulation approach can enhance surgical proficiency and confidence.
  • Simulated training is crucial for advancing the education of congenital heart surgeons.
