Abstract
To investigate a method for development of surgical skills in medical students simulating venous dissection in surgical ex vivo pig model. Prospective, analytical, experimental, controlled study with four stages: selection, theoretical teaching, training and assessment. Sample of 312 students was divided into two groups: Group A - 2nd semester students; Group B - students of 8th semester. The groups were divided into five groups of 12 students, trained two hours per week in the semester. They set up four models to three students in each skill station assisted by a monitor. Teaching protocol emergency procedures training were applied to venous dissection, test goal-discursive and OSATS scale. The pre-test confirmed that the methodology has not been previously applied to the students. The averages obtained in the theoretical evaluation reached satisfactory parameters in both groups. The results of applying OSATS scale showed the best performance in group A compared to group B, however, both groups had satisfactory medium. The method was enough to raise a satisfactory level of skill both groups in venous dissection running on surgical swine ex vivo models.
Highlights
The National Curricular Guidelines (DCN) of medical school revised in 2014, called for the need of the relationship between knowledge, skills and attitudes required by the doctor to his graduation, fundamental for their professional future practice
This study sets out the method used to raise the surgical skills at a satisfactory level in the venous dissection execution by students of second and eighth semesters of medical school UFPE, using as a key resource training in a live surgical pig model ex easy assembly and low cost
The survey assessed the surgical ex vivo pig model used in venous dissection training for medical students in the second and eighth semesters, these had not previously been exposed to practice this procedure
Summary
The National Curricular Guidelines (DCN) of medical school revised in 2014, called for the need of the relationship between knowledge, skills and attitudes required by the doctor to his graduation, fundamental for their professional future practice. Experiences in national universities that introduced the use of porcine models for teaching surgical skills in medical schools, demonstrated positive results[1,2]. In this context the Federal University of Pernambuco from 2014, have joined to that transformation process in medical education by implementing innovative initiatives using this type of simulators[3,4]. This study sets out the method used to raise the surgical skills at a satisfactory level in the venous dissection execution by students of second and eighth semesters of medical school UFPE, using as a key resource training in a live surgical pig model ex easy assembly and low cost
