A Novel Eye Model for Simulation in Lateral

A Novel Eye Model for Simulation in Lateral Canthotomy Jonathan Nielson, Keel Coleman- Virginia Tech Carilion Emergency Medicine Residency CLICK TO GO BACK TO KIOSK MENU Background - Rare, but critical procedures are difficult to teach in residency training - High fidelity models, mostly cadaveric, are cost prohibitive. Goals • Gain familiarity and psychomotor skills for competently addressing lateral canthotomy Create orbits in mannequin heads with drill bit and depth to be matched to the size of the eye Glue the pieces of rubberband tourniquet in layered fashion at a point that will sit lateral to the eye when inserted.
