Design and Implementation of a Low-Cost Priapism Reduction Task Trainer.

ABSTRACT:

Audience

This low-cost priapism reduction task trainer is designed to instruct emergency medicine (EM) resident physicians.

Introduction

Priapism is a true urologic emergency that EM physicians must be able to diagnose and treat in order to prevent significant tissue damage and loss of erectile function. Given the nature of the condition, priapism treatment is often both physically invasive and psychologically upsetting. Simulation allows learners to practice invasive or rare procedures in a safe and educational environment. At present, there are few inexpensive and easily created task trainers for priapism reduction. Our goal was to create an inexpensive, reusable task trainer that allows learners to practice the skills needed for priapism reduction.
