The advantages of the spinal puncture model mainly lie in three aspects: the sense of reality in teaching, safety and repetitive operation. This model is designed based on the anatomical structure of the human spine and can clearly present the intervertebral Spaces, ligament layers, as well as the positions of the epidural space and subarachnoid space, providing learners with a sense of touch and space that is close to clinical practice. During the operation, trainees can judge the changes in needle insertion resistance through touch, truly experience the process of passing through different tissue levels, and thereby deepen their understanding of anatomical knowledge.
Compared with directly practicing on patients, the use of the model significantly reduces risks, avoids adverse consequences brought about by novice operations, and ensures patient safety. Meanwhile, the model allows for repeated operation. Trainees can correct mistakes, become familiar with the techniques, and gradually improve their operational proficiency and confidence through multiple practices. In addition, models are usually equipped with liquid or indicator devices that can provide feedback when the puncture is successful, which helps trainees to promptly test and consolidate their learning outcomes.
In terms of teaching management, the spinal puncture model makes the training process more standardized and controllable, providing medical students and young doctors with a scientific and systematic learning approach. In conclusion, the advantages of this model lie in enhancing the efficiency of skill acquisition, ensuring operational safety, and promoting the cultivation of clinical practice abilities.
