Desenvolvimento de simulador de baixo custo para o ensino de punção intraóssea na pediatria

Abstract

Simulators are interactive and dynamic tools that stimulate, encourage new ideas, and instigate knowledge acquisition to support problem solving and decision making. Their use is fundamental in health professionals’ training. This is a technological study for the experimental development of a low-cost prototype for training technical skills in intraosseous puncture, using the methodology of problematization. Intraosseous puncture is a simple procedure, quick to perform, and with a high success rate, all advantageous characteristics in emergency facilities. In recent years, it was observed that prior training in simulators for patient safety was required, making it essential in quality professional training. It is concluded that the model presented becomes feasible in teaching of intraosseous puncture procedure as it allows this skill training in a safe and low-cost way.
