IMSH 2015 Attendees: Come on by and check out one of the many TATRC Funded Projects on display at the IMSH R & D “Corral!” TITLE: MODULAR MIXED SIMULATORS OF THORACIC REGIONAL ANESTHESIA AND CENTRAL VENOUS ACCESS Presented by the University of Florida Center for Safety, Simulation & Advanced Learning Technologies (CSSALT); Army Research Lab, Simulation & Training Technology Center (STTC) Description: Competency assessment of procedural skills is unreliable; unskilled clinicians risk procedural complications. Acquisition of cognitive and psychomotor skills help image, interpret and guide a needle to its target during ultrasound-guided procedures. A set of mixed simulators addresses assessment/learning needs by tracking (6DOF) in 3D space a modular stand holding a relevant anatomy, a tool (e.g., needle), an imaging tool (e.g., ultrasound probe) and a tangible user interface controlling virtual camera perspective/orientation. The physical simulator is augmented by a collocated virtual underlay of internal organs and tissues, visual augmentation (real-time 3D color visualization) of the anatomy and equipment and tactile feedback. Our turnkey, compact simulators are already used for training by procedural kit manufacturers. With DoD funding, additional features, procedures and outcome studies are being implemented.
