Training System for Puncture Operation Force Adjustment in Hemodialysis

Abstract

The study deals with a training system for the force adjustment in puncture operation for university students in clinical engineering. It is known in hemodialysis treatment that high level of accuracy is required including the force, angle and needle tracks when inserting a needle into the blood vessel, while it is difficult to master the complex technique within a limited university time with fewer exercises. For the reason, we construct a training system on PC having the ability of insertion force response, quantitative operation effect evaluation and good repeatability. The students experience operation in such a vivid environment with real-timely evaluation. The effectiveness of system was proved with questionnaire on students.
