ABSTRACT

Background: Vascular cerebral infarction (or stroke) is recognized as the third leading cause of death worldwide, and acute arterial occlusion comprises the main mechanism underlying ischemic stroke. Cerebrovascular diseases are treated by intracranial endovascular interventions employing minimally invasive intravascular techniques, such as neuroimaging. Conducting practical training in this area is a necessary task since patient safety is a considerably significant factor. There has been a steady increase in scientific research focused on validating endovascular simulation as a tool for training interventionists in endovascular procedures. Current literature confirms the idea that there is a beneficial role of simulation in endovascular training and skill acquisition and technique improvement. Objective: To develop an endovascular technique simulator for learning Neuroradiology. Methods: The methodology consisted of developing a simulator using 3D printing technology. Results: A literature search was carried out, commencing in August 2017, through consultation of the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS) databases, using the PubMed and BIREME websites, respectively. Meetings were held between the neuroradiologist specialist and programmers to develop the simulator, which was carried out in three phases: design of the arterial system, design of the prototype of the arterial system in computer graphics, and confection of the arterial system simulator in 3D. Conclusion: The simulator is ready for testing by residents and can enable the student to learn through simulations that reproduce, as realistically as possible, the situation to be subsequently experienced using a concrete tool.

RESUMO

Introdução: O acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) é a terceira causa de morte em todo o mundo e uma oclusão arterial aguda é o principal mecanismo subjacente ao AVC isquêmico. As doenças cerebrovasculares são tratadas por intervenções endovasculares intracranianas utilizando técnicas intravasculares minimamente invasivas, como a neuroimagem. Realizar treinamento prático nessa área é uma tarefa necessária, pois a segurança do paciente é um fator considerado significativo. Houve um aumento constante de pesquisas científicas focada na validação da simulação endovascular como uma ferramenta para treinar intervencionistas em procedimentos endovasculares. A literatura atual confirma a ideia de que existe um papel benéfico da simulação no treinamento endovascular e na aquisição de habilidades e aprimoramento da técnica. Objetivo: Desenvolver um simulador de técnica endovascular para o aprendizado de Neurorradiologia. Métodos: Desenvolvimento de um simulador utilizando a tecnologia de impressão em 3D. Resultados: Realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica da literatura, tendo início em Agosto de 2017, com consulta feita ao banco de dados Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System on Line (MEDLINE) e Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), por meio respectivamente dos sites PubMed e BIREME. Foram realizadas reuniões entre o especialista em Neurorradiologia e os programadores para desenvolver o simulador, que foi realizado em três fases: desenho do sistema arterial, desenho do protótipo do sistema arterial em computação gráfica e confecção do simulador do sistema arterial em 3D. Conclusão: O simulador está pronto para ser testado por residentes, podendo possibilitar ao aluno aprender por simulações que reproduzem, da forma mais realista possível, a situação a ser vivenciada posteriormente usando uma ferramenta concreta.
