The application scenarios of training models for closed thoracic drainage

The closed thoracic drainage training model is a professional simulation teaching aid used in thoracic surgery and critical care nursing teaching. It is mainly used to train medical students, resident physicians and nursing staff to master the operational skills of closed thoracic drainage. This model truly reproduces the chest wall, intercostal muscles, pleura and thoracic structure, and can simulate clinical conditions such as pneumothorax and effusion, providing learners with a safe and repeatable practical environment.

In clinical skills training, the training model can be used to guide students in steps such as puncture point selection, local disinfection, anesthesia operation, catheter insertion and fixation, and connection of closed drainage devices, emphasizing the standardization and safety of the operation. Through repeated practice, learners can become familiar with the techniques, master the depth and Angle of puncture, and reduce the risks of clinical operations.

In addition, the closed thoracic drainage training model is also applicable to preoperative drills, skill assessments, and clinical simulation teaching, helping medical staff build operational confidence and enhance their ability to deal with emergency thoracic diseases. The application of this model has significantly enhanced the practicality and effectiveness of thoracic surgery and critical care teaching, and it is an indispensable practical teaching tool in modern medical education.
