How to train knot-tying in the thoracic cavity for residents: A cost-effective simulator
1Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Haeundae Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Busan, South Korea.
Abstract:
We present a low-cost, simple simulation model of knot-tying in a thoracic cavity. This model uses a cardboard paper box to reproduce the chest cavity, which is narrow, long and deep. Practising basic skill in the simulation setting will help residents better prepare to use it.
