A Hybrid 3D-Printed Model for Lower Extremity Compartment Syndrome Simulation
Annals of 3D Printed Medicine(2024)
摘要
Background
Compartment syndrome is a medical emergency. It should be diagnosed promptly and therapeutic measures should be taken to avoid limb ischemia. Measurement of compartment pressure is extremely important.
Model
Knowledge about compartments and familiarity with the pressure monitoring device is important to properly diagnose acute compartment syndrome. Simulations provide an opportunity to know the device and practice the procedure. Given its lower cost and the possibility of frequent reproduction, simulations using 3D printed material are gaining popularity. We propose a simple low-fidelity model made using a silicone-based leg, 3D-printed tibia and fibula, Foley catheter, and syringes.
Conclusion
This low-fidelity simulator helps to improve procedural skills and retention through repeated practice.
