Técnica de ex vivo en modelo biológico para trasplante pulmonar. Una manera de realizar simulación de alto realismo

Abstract

. Pulmonary transplantation is a treatment that involves mastery of a complex surgical technique, for the specialist in training in chest surgery. One modality of preserving the lung before being transplanted is the ex vivo technique. Material and methods : In order to train the resident in this area, a biological model of pig was used to obtain the heart lung block and its connection to the living system. Results: 20 lung heart block procurements were carried out and connected to the lively system without complications, leaving them connected for two hours to assess, that the technique was correct. This significant learning modality, with a process of situated cognition, helps to improve the learning of residents in training. Conclusions: High-realism biological simulation is a very useful tool for meaningful and situated learning of thoracic surgery residents.
