SimLife® technology, using Pulse for Practice (P4P), offers effective medical simulation for anatomical training. This study found it highly useful for post-lauream training and team-building across specialties.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Anatomy
- Surgical Simulation
Background:
- Medical simulations provide safe, hands-on training for healthcare professionals.
- SimLife® with Pulse for Practice (P4P) enables realistic re-ventilation and revascularization in donated bodies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the feasibility of SimLife® technology in Italy.
- To evaluate its impact on various medical specialties using limited donated bodies.
Main Methods:
- Utilized existing body donation program and dissection facilities.
- 62 participants from 13 specialties engaged with SimLife® P4P.
- Structured interviews gathered data on interventions, perceptions, and challenges.
Main Results:
- 86% found SimLife® extremely useful for post-lauream training.
- 84% deemed it highly beneficial for team-building.
- 31 interventions were successfully performed with high participant satisfaction.
Conclusions:
- SimLife® technology is effective for body donor re-ventilation and revascularization.
- It enhances medical training across diverse specialties.
