Thoracentesis training and assessment system

■   The system consists of a simulator of an adult male head, neck, torso, and a tablet computer. The simulator sits in reverse on a chair with both arms flat, creating a realistic image. The body surface markers are obvious, the anatomical position is accurate, and the scapula, ribs, intercostal space, and spinal spinous processes are easy to touch.
■   Thoracic puncture can be performed, and the puncture needle has a clear sense of emptiness after entering the pleural cavity. After successful puncture, simulated pleural fluid can be drawn back.
■   The puncture position is monitored electronically throughout the entire process, and the puncture site includes the bilateral subscapular angle line, axillary front line, axillary midline, and posterior axillary line.
■   Tablets can scan QR codes to connect simulators, or manually connect Bluetooth names for connection. They support login for both teacher and student ends, and can register multiple teacher and student ends. The student side can choose different mentors for easy management of class students.
■   The software consists of four modules: theoretical learning, training mode, assessment mode, and transcript
■   There is a question bank available, where mentors can freely choose questions for assessment. The question bank can be added, modified, and deleted by themselves
■   The teacher end can set the number of assessment questions, assessment time, item selection, video import, and modification of scoring standards, while the student end cannot modify them.
■   Students can bind to the teacher's end, and the same teacher can view the grades of all students under their binding and understand the practice situation of each student.
■   The software displays the puncture needle insertion position in real-time, with voice and text prompts, and animation displays the needle insertion depth.
■   The software comes with assessment and scoring standards, and mentors can perform scoring operations on the tablet or set their own scoring standards. The scoring standards include preparation before operation, evaluation of the effects during and after operation.
■   The assessment mode has a scoring system, and the transcript can be saved, printed, and viewed for historical scores.
