Three-dimensional Printing in Cardiac Catheterization
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Our purpose is to use 3D printing technology to make human anatomical cardiovascular model, which could apply in the medical education for medical students, in order to improve the effectiveness of the learning process to access.

Detailed Description
Background：
The medical teaching models are expansive and rare. We try to use the 3D printing technology to print cardiovascular model. By using the 3D cardiovascular model, we try to facilitate the leaning curve of understanding the cardiac catheterization.
Study Design：
This is a single-site prospective randomized cross-over study of medical education. We expect to enrolled 50 participants. Both group will receive same teaching program. Traditional education model will be used in control group, and 3D printed model will be used in the experimental group.
Methods：
We use 3D printing technology to create cardiovascular model from the CT scanning, which are drawn by professional 3D drawing staff. The students will be divided into 2 groups: the first group receive lecture/image teaching first then trained by the 3D cardiovascular model; the second group are receiving the reverse order. The satisfaction and the learning outcomes would be evaluated by the questionnaire.
Effect：
We expect the 3D cardiovascular model will bring better learning efficiency and satisfaction. Furthermore, we will construct the individual learning project by using the 3D printing model.
Key words：
3D printing, anatomy instruction, cardiovascular system, cardiac catheterization, high-fidelity simulation.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Examination score of pre-intervention [pre-intervention]
score of pre-intervention (maximun 100 and minimum 0), higher means a better outcome
- Examination score of post-intervention [immediately after the intervention]
score of post-intervention (maximun 100 and minimum 0), higher means a better outcome
