Simulation can be done for system testing, orientation, and, more commonly at the present time in healthcare, for educational purposes. Choosing where and how to set up a space to be used for any type of simulation-based activity, whether it is for educational or operational purposes, is an important decision with potentially long-term consequences. Several key factors will be explored in this chapter alongside consideration of the various options available. This will be considered in line with anticipated usage in terms of participant volume, type(s) of activity(ies), anticipated growth, the breadth and depth of the technology currently available, and the implementation of innovative ideas. There is not any proven best solution at the moment, but this knowledge gap certainly provides a great opportunity, especially if the variables thought to affect learning outcomes or transfer of learning to the clinical area can be controlled. This chapter is complementary to other chapters in this book and will also address key questions in relation to identifying, obtaining, and configuring the space best suited to establishing a simulation program, or simply facilitating simulation-based learning activities on the basis of needs, circumstances, and resources. This chapter will help readers, whether they are beginners or seasoned simulationists/educators/technicians/technologists/managers/directors, decide what might be their best option(s) for consideration in terms of possible locations and setups, judge the potential impact on their simulation program in terms of expected advantages and drawbacks, and hopefully make the right decision on the basis of their circumstances.

Background: Surgical training is undergoing major changes with reduced resident work hours and an increasing focus on patient safety and surgical aptitude. The aim of this study was to create a valid, reliable method for an assessment of arthroscopic skills that is independent of time and place and is designed for both real and simulated settings. The validity of the scale was tested using a virtual reality shoulder arthroscopy simulator.Methods: The study consisted of two parts. In the first part, an Imperial Global Arthroscopy Rating Scale for assessing technical performance was developed using a Delphi method. Application of this scale required installing a dual-camera system to synchronously record the simulator screen and body movements of trainees to allow an assessment that is independent of time and place. The scale includes aspects such as efficient portal positioning, angles of instrument insertion, proficiency in handling the arthroscope and adequately manipulating the camera, and triangulation skills. In the second part of the study, a validation study was conducted. Two experienced arthroscopic surgeons, blinded to the identities and experience of the participants, each assessed forty-nine subjects performing three different tests using the Imperial Global Arthroscopy Rating Scale. Results were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance with measures of absolute agreement. The intraclass correlation coefficient was calculated for each test to assess inter-rater reliability.Results: The scale demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach alpha, 0.918). The intraclass correlation coefficient demonstrated high agreement between the assessors: 0.91 (p < 0.001). Construct validity was evaluated using Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance (chi-square test, 29.826; p < 0.001), demonstrating that the Imperial Global Arthroscopy Rating Scale distinguishes significantly between subjects with different levels of experience utilizing a virtual reali

Granados A, Hald N, Di Marco A, et al., 2014, Real-time visualisation and analysis of internal examinations - Seeing the unseen, Pages: 617-625, ISSN: 0302-9743
Internal examinations such as Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) and bimanual Vaginal Examination (BVE) are routinely performed for early diagnosis of cancer and other diseases. Although they are recognised as core skills to be taught on a medical curriculum, they are difficult to learn and teach due to their unsighted nature. We present a framework that combines a visualisation and analysis tool with position and pressure sensors to enable the study of internal examinations and provision of real-time feedback. This approach is novel as it allows for real-time continuous trajectory and pressure data to be obtained for the complete examination, which may be used for teaching and assessment. Experiments were conducted performing DRE and BVE on benchtop models, and BVE on Gynaecological Teaching Assistants (GTA). The results obtained suggest that the proposed methodology may provide an insight into what constitutes an adequate DRE or BVE, provide real-time feedback tools for learning and assessment, and inform haptics-based simulator design. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.

Granados A, Perhac J, Rosby LV, et al., 2013, See-through visualisation for training and assessing unsighted physical examinations, Pages: 85-92
Objective: Motivated by the limitations of being unable to provide feedback and adequately assess technical skills whilst training unsighted physical examinations, such as Digital Rectal Examinations (DRE), we present a see-through visualisation system that can be used with benchtop models widely available in medical schools. Methods: We use position and pressure sensors located on the examining finger and have implemented a Virtual Reality (VR) simulation learning tool consisting of registered 3D models of the benchtop, augmented with relevant surrounding pelvic anatomy. The proposed system was evaluated with six medical students and eleven consultants. Results: The system is stable, runs in real time, uses unobtrusive sensor coils and pads, is able to capture data from sensors at 40Hz and adequately translates and rotates the position of the examining finger aligned to the 3D models of the benchtop and surrounding anatomy. Both medical students and consultants recognised the educational value of being able to see-through and visualise surrounding relevant anatomy. Although novices are reported to be the group that could benefit the most from our system, it is crucial not to be over reliant on visual cues for too long and to develop a strategy for the adequate use of the see-through system. Conclusions: The proposed VR simulation system is intended to improve the experience of novices learning unsighted examinations by providing real-time feedback and visualisation, allowing trainees to reflect on their performance and permitting more adequate assessment of technical skills.
Barrow A, Akhtar K, Gupte C, et al., 2013, Requirements analysis of a 5 degree of freedom haptic simulator for orthopedic trauma surgery., Stud Health Technol Inform, Vol: 184, Pages: 43-47, ISSN: 0926-9630
There are currently few Virtual Reality simulators for orthopedic trauma surgery. The current simulators provide only a basic recreation of the manual skills involved, focusing instead on the procedural and anatomical knowledge required. One factor limiting simulation of the manual skills is the complexity of adding realistic haptic feedback, particularly torques. This paper investigates the requirements, in terms of forces and workspace (linear and rotational), of a haptic interface to simulate placement of a lag screw in the femoral head, such as for fixation of a fracture in the neck of the femur. To measure these requirements, a study has been conducted involving 5 subjects with experience performing this particular procedure. The results gathered are being used to inform the design of a new haptic simulator for orthopedic trauma surgery.
