Simulátor zavádění portů pro dlouhodobé zajištění centrálního žilního vstupu

Abstract

This bachelor’s thesis focuses on the development of a simulator for the insertion of implantable ports for long-term central venous access. Central venous cannulation and port placement are invasive procedures that require practical training. Therefore, it is beneficial for the patient if medical personnel have already been trained using a simulator. The aim of this thesis is to create an anatomically accurate simulator that allows teaching and practicing the techniques for central venous catheter insertion and, most importantly, port implantation, as well as the care of inserted catheters or ports. The thesis addresses the technique of inserting central venous catheters and implantable ports. Additionally, it emphasizes achieving the most accurate replication of human tissues and anatomical structures using CT scans, 3D printers, and silicone materials. The cre- ated simulator will then serve as a tool for teaching and training both healthcare students and professionals.
