Is training with an ex-vivo model as effective as live tissue training for improving self-efficacy in the management of penetrating cardiac injury?
Ex-vivo models are as effective as live tissue models for training participants in the management of penetrating cardiac injuries and improving self-efficacy.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Ex-vivo models may offer an ethical alternative for cardiac injury training; leaves open translation to clinical performance or outcomes.
Training with an ex-vivo model and live tissue training are similar for the management of a penetrating cardiac injury, with increased self-efficacy of participants in both groups. The ex-vivo model is useful to learn hemostatic skills in trauma surgery.
