To describe a new method for training residents in ophthalmology in performing laser retinopexy around retinal breaks, and its practicality.
The simulator consists of a model eye that can be adjusted to fit any laser instrument, with a retinal break created in it. The retinal breaks are made of paper strips and can simulate tears and holes. The simulator is used with a three-mirror lens and real laser instrument.
The simulator creates conditions simulating near-real laser retinopexy and has been used successfully in training 3 novice residents who have never performed this procedure before.
This simulator is simple, reusable and inexpensive. We believe it may be a valuable instructional tool in training residents in performing laser retinopexy, shorten their learning curve and improve their efficiency it in.
描述一种培训眼科住院医师进行视网膜裂孔周围激光视网膜光凝术的新方法及其实用性。
该模拟器由一个可调节以适配任何激光仪器的模拟眼组成,其中制造了视网膜裂孔。视网膜裂孔由纸条制成,可模拟撕裂和破洞。该模拟器与三面镜和实际激光仪器一起使用。
该模拟器创造了模拟近乎真实的激光视网膜光凝术的条件,并已成功用于培训3名此前从未进行过该手术的新手住院医师。
该模拟器简单、可重复使用且成本低廉。我们认为它可能是培训住院医师进行激光视网膜光凝术的一种有价值的教学工具,可缩短他们的学习曲线并提高其效率。
