Interactive training with a novel simulation model for upper gastrointestinal endoscopic hemostasis improves trainee technique and confidence.

ABSTRACT: Background and study aims Endoscopic hemostasis is a life-saving procedure for gastrointestinal bleeding; however, training for it is often performed on real patients and during urgent situations that put patients at risk. Reports of simulation-based training models for endoscopic hemostasis are scarce. Herein, we developed a novel simulator called "Medical Rising STAR-Ulcer type" to practice endoscopic hemostasis with hemoclips and coagulation graspers. This study aimed to evaluate the reproducibility of the clinical difficulty of this model and the effectiveness of simulation-based training for clipping hemostasis. Patients and methods This was a prospective educational study. Fifty gastroenterology residents from Japan and Canada were recruited to participate in a simulati
