How to train knot-tying in the thoracic cavity for residents: A cost-effective simulator
Abstract
ABSTRACT: We present a low-cost, simple simulation model of knot-tying in a thoracic cavity. This model uses a cardboard paper box to reproduce the chest cavity, which is narrow, long and deep. Practising basic skill in the simulation setting will help residents better prepare to use it.
