Variability of tissue mechanical response in Sus Domesticus porcine models from in vivo to ex vivo conditions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Healthcare simulators have been demonstrated to be a valuable resource for training several technical and nontechnical skills. A gap in the fidelity of tissues has been acknowledged as a barrier to application for current simulators; especially for interventional procedures. Inaccurate or unrealistic mechanical response of a simulated tissue to a given surgical tool motion may result in negative training transfer and/or prevents the "suspension of disbelief" necessary for a trainee to engage in the activity. Thus, where it is relevant to training outcomes, there should be an effort to create healthcare simulators with simulated tissue mechanical responses that match or represent those of biological tissues. Historically, this data is most often gathered from preserved (p
