Spread-MT course

The Spread-MT course has trained one more group of 6 students (feb-2021). Based on massive virtual simulation mixed with theoretical lessons and device handling, the course provided students a unique experience for retention of knowledge and development of skills. The rule is one simulator for each pair of students. More than 25 cases done by each student in a week that seemed a month!

  • Pairs working in intensive simulation session.
  • Presential proctoring.
  • Mastering the simulator.
  • Remote proctoring and final evaluation.

The aphorism

The aphorism “see one, do one, teach one” coined by Dr. William Halsted in 1904(1), may be transformed, into: “see one, do simulation at exhaustion, do one well”.

The first simulator for medical education

Virtual simulation in Medicine get widespread use from a simulator developed at the beginning of the 1960s by a Norwegian plastic toy manufacturer called Asmund Laerdal and by an Austrian-Czech physician Peter Safar. It was originally developed for training mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. After a while, it became known as “Resuci Anne” or “CPR Anne”. Interesting is a popular theory that affirms that Recusci Anne’s face was derived from L’Inconnue de la Seine, an unidentified young woman whose putative death mask become popular between artists due to its beauty. This simulator has helped physicians all around the world to execute resuscitation maneuvers in a standardized workflow. It has evolved along the years, and now can be found in uncountable simulator rooms.

O início da Simulação

Gostaríamos de dar as boas-vindas a todos os interessados em educação endovascular baseada em simulação virtual.

A simulação virtual ganhou visibilidade como ferramenta educacional desde 1930, com o surgimento do “Link Trainer”, ou “Blue box” (figura), o primeiro simulador de voo desenvolvido pela Link Aviation Devices. A ideia era ensinar os pilotos de forma SEGURA. Desde então, a simulação se tornou popular na aviação e, atualmente, é uma necessidade para os pilotos de todo o mundo receberem treinamento e manterem suas habilidades.

Esse modelo de ensino tem chamado a atenção dos educadores médicos. Isso se aplica à medicina clínica e de emergência e também aos procedimentos cirúrgicos. Com novas tecnologias e desenvolvimentos, os procedimentos endovasculares contam com simuladores virtuais muito realistas, o que contribuiu para proporcionar aos médicos um treinamento seguro para desenvolver habilidades, incorporar as etapas do procedimento e também para reter o conhecimento prático.
