Comparison between the traditional and the new training model using rabbits in the assessment

Comparação entre o tradicional e o novo modelo de treinamento utilizando coelhos para a avaliação

PURPOSE: Compare the new training model for vessel ligation with the traditional using rabbits in the assessment. METHODS: From 106 academics of the Division of Operative Technique and Experimental Surgery, 36 were divided into two groups and offered them two training models of ligature. The group was invited to participate to an experimental procedure with rabbits and reproduce the technique trained. The procedure consisted of performing ligatures in saphenous veins of the legs of rabbits. The students were evaluated by objective criteria by an observer evaluator and answered a questionnaire at the end of the procedure. RESULTS: The medical students who have had training with the new model had a higher number of hits compared to the other group performing ligatures without clamping with hemostatic forceps (p<0.05). There was also a higher number of hits for the new model group to perform ligation temporary and permanent ligation with the use of forceps (p>0.05). The questionnaires indicated that the new model develops more ability to work in groups (p=0.088). CONCLUSIONS: The project promotes the implementation of the new model for training ligature, indicating that the new model is better to the traditional surgical practice.
