Hosted by UNMC’s iEXCEL, Operative Experience will be at UNMC today (Feb. 19) from 7 to 9 a.m. and noon to 2 p.m. for a showcase in the Sorrell Center Simulation Lab.
There will be demonstrations of Operative Experience’s Damage Control Laparotomy, a fully-operative damage control surgical skills simulator, which features realistic, soft-tissue organs including spleen, bowels and liver.
The simulator can be incised, dissected, retracted and sutured using standard surgical instruments. It also has a pulsatile, pressurized bleeding system and operable wounds including ruptured spleen, lacerated liver, lacerated vena cava, lacerated bowel/mesentery and lacerated diaphragm. The simulator features replaceable organs for repetitive practice.
Attendees will have the opportunity to provide feedback related to the simulator’s relevance for training, usability and realism.
