Outline of Final Research Achievements

Purpose of surgical training is to know how to avoid fatal operation, which causes serious bleeding in operation, as well as to know the operation procedure. In this study, we developed a hemostatic virtual reality simulation, which represents an operation view with various bleeding pattern. Also, the user can perform stop bleeding using a haptic device, which realizes three-dimensional manipulation. Switching the operation view images, the simulator provides various bleeding accident pattern in the specific situation, so that the simulator provides typical pitfall experiences repeatedly. It can be concluded that this study achieved a haptic hemostatic simulator by developing bleeding simulation engine, bleeding pattern setup tool, and haptic device connector. By scoring duration of blood stanchion and the amount of bleeding, the user's progress on the counter measure to bleeding would be evaluated.
