Abstract
The goal of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of a tested 3D head and neck model for educating emergency medicine, primary care and allied health professionals in handling 10 typical ear, nose and throat (ENT) emergency cases. The research was performed during an ENT Emergencies training program in London. In total, 90 health professionals took part in the workshop. The group included 54 EM residents/trainees, 25 primary care residents/trainees, 4 ENT residents/trainees, 4 emergency nurse practitioners, 2 primary care attending physicians and 1 EM attending/consultant. There were 11 consultant ENT surgeons working on the faculty. During the course, the 3D models, printed using Fuesetec technology, were assessed to test their impact on how well participants could carry out ten common emergencies in ear, nose and throat medicine. In general, 86% (n=77) of individuals rated the models as highly or very useful in learning about ENT emergencies. The feedback systems were judged to mimic the real experience of patients’ touch and palpation of tissues by the vast majority (64% for touch and 74% for texture). Using the practice models, over 70% of users were confident they could perform the 10 ENT procedures. Because they improved participants’ performance in handling 10 emergency scenarios, the 3D models showed strong face validity, content validity and indirect validity. Using these models will make emergency ENT training easier for emergency departments
