摘要: In this paper, the authors present a physical model developed to simulate accurate external ventricular drain (EVD) placement with realistic haptic and visual feedbacks serve as platform for complete procedural training. Insertion of an EVD via ventriculostomy is common neurosurgical procedure used monitor intracranial pressures and/or CSF. Currently, training tools are scarce mainly limited virtual reality simulation systems. The use 3D printing technology enables development anatomical structures customized design simulators. study, advantages directly build geometry from stealth head CT scans phantom brain mold based on plastinated human brain. resultant simulator provides feedback during procedure, visualization catheter trajectory fluid drainage. A multiinstitutional survey was also prove content validity of...
