Simulation in cardiothoracic surgical training: Where do we stand?

Abstract: Surgical simulation is becoming an increasingly important educational tool in training cardiothoracic surgeons. Our next steps forward will be to develop an objective, standardized way to assess surgical simulation training compared with the current apprenticeship model.

“…1 However, advanced surgical skills simulators are generally expensive and require extensive setup time. 2 The use of commercially available simulation systems that cost >$500 USD per use represents a significant financial burden for many centers that are establishing an ECLS program.…”

“…
We read with interest the recent article 'Preoperative simulation of minimally invasive aortic valve replacement using patient-specific replica' by Murakami and colleagues which describes the development of patient-specific replicas to guide preoperative planning during minimally invasive aortic valve replacement [1].As early as the 1800s, surgeons have used simulation training to hone their skills, practicing on animals and cadavers [2]. In the past decade, simulation has developed rapidly, and in the UK, a portfolio of 'bootcamp' courses is now offered throughout specialisation targeting skills relevant to each stage of training.

“…High-fidelity computer-programmed models do not offer live tissue but do provide real-time physiology and repetition. There have been calls for a standardised way to assess simulation models as compared to the traditional apprenticeship model popularised by Halstead in the early twentieth century [2]. Perhaps, an integrated approach in which each simulator is used at an appropriate time to complement apprenticeship training would be a powerful form of multi-faceted training.…”
