Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

Area of Science:

Surgical Simulation
Medical Education Technology
3D Printing Applications

Background:

Otolaryngology trainees require extensive practice for microlaryngeal surgeries.
Limited opportunities exist for hands-on microlaryngeal surgical training.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a low-cost, 3D-printed microlaryngeal simulator.
To assess the educational value and validity of the simulator for surgical training.

Main Methods:

Simulator design using CAD and 3D-printing with iterative improvements.
Evaluation using porcine larynges with medical students, residents, and laryngologists.
Assessment of construct, face, and content validity through blinded review and questionnaires.

Main Results:

Trainees reported high satisfaction with self-efficacy, fidelity, and educational value (average >4/5).
Participant confidence in performing microflap surgery increased significantly post-simulation (1.8/5 to 3.0/5).
Blinded review demonstrated experts performed significantly better than novices, confirming construct validity.

Conclusions:

The 3D-printed simulator is an effective, low-cost tool for practicing microlaryngeal surgery.
The simulator demonstrates content, face, and construct validity for surgical training.
