Guidelines for designing a realistic peripheral venous catheter insertion simulator: A literature review
Abstract
A literature review was conducted to develop more realistic medical simulators that better prepare aspiring health professionals to perform a medical procedure in vivo. Thus, this review proposes an approach that might assist researchers design improved medical simulators, particularly new materials that would enhance the sensation of touch for skin substitutes. By targeting the current needs in the field of simulation learning, we concluded that peripheral venous catheter insertion (PVCI) simulators lack realistic haptic feedback. Enhanced PVCI simulators will accelerate the mastery of the medical procedure, thus decreasing the number of failures in patients and costs related to this procedure.
