Virtual reality combined training system- Endotracheal Suctioning
The manikin is constructed from durable high-molecular silicon material, which provides lifelike physical characteristics and authentic tactile feedback. This design ensures a realistic and aesthetically pleasing training experience, allowing learners to practice in a setting that feels as close to reality as possible. The manikin's anatomical accuracy enhances the realism of the training, preparing trainees for the complexities of actual patient care.
The system supports three types of suctioning simulations: via the mouth, via the nose, and via tracheostomy. Trainees can use real suction catheters, adding to the authenticity of the practice. A unique X-ray view displays the internal respiratory and digestive system anatomy, enabling 360-degree rotation and zooming of the scene. Voice guidance accompanies this visual display, enhancing understanding and providing real-time feedback. The force feedback technology simulates varying resistance encountered during intubation, ensuring that learners can feel the subtle changes in pressure, just as they would in a real procedure.
Smart sensor technology automatically detects the insertion length and speed of the suction catheter, providing real-time prompts to guide trainees through each step. The system also supports negative pressure adjustment and can identify key operational points such as catheter kinking, rotation, and no-negative-pressure states. This immediate feedback helps learners refine their technique and address potential issues promptly.
This comprehensive training system meets the endotracheal suctioning skill training needs of medical students and nursing interns, equipping them with the confidence and proficiency required for real-world clinical scenarios. By combining virtual simulation, smart sensor technology, and hands-on practice, the system prepares learners to handle the challenges of patient care with competence and precision.
