The application scenarios of the thoracic puncture and drainage model

The application scenarios of the thoracic puncture and drainage model mainly focus on three aspects: teaching demonstration, clinical skills training, and practical operation assessment. The model, by simulating the structure of the chest wall and the anatomy of the thoracic cavity, clearly presents the intercostal Spaces, the position of the pleura and the areas where fluid accumulates, enabling learners to intuitively understand the key anatomical landmarks and operational paths of thoracentesis.

In teaching, the model can be used to explain the puncture indications, puncture point selection and operation procedures for common diseases such as pleural effusion and pneumothorax, helping students establish spatial concepts and understand potential risks. In clinical skills training, learners can repeatedly practice operations such as needle insertion, liquid extraction, and drainage tube placement on the model to enhance their tactile proficiency and operational accuracy, and reduce the risks of operating on real patients. Meanwhile, the model is also applicable to the skills assessment and operation evaluation of colleges or training institutions, providing quantifiable training standards.

Overall, the thoracentesis and drainage model is an indispensable practical training tool in medical education, which can effectively enhance the operational skills, safety awareness and clinical judgment level of both students and medical staff.
