Publication number: 20110010155Abstract: It is an object of the invention to evaluate a tracheal intubation technique in consideration of various points to remember related to a tracheal intubation treatment. A tracheal intubation training apparatus (10) is provided with a model (14) which has an appearance modeled on the upper body portion of a human body and an evaluation means (15) which evaluates the tracheal intubation technique carried out to the model (14). The model (14) has pressure sensors (46, 57, 62, 66) which measure pressurizing force when a tracheal intubation device (12) touches respective sections (31, 32, 34, 36, 41, 63) modeled on sections from the inside of the mouth through to that of the trachea of a living body, position detection sensors (69, 76) which detect whether the tracheal intubation device (12) exists in the predetermined areas of the tracheal part (63) and an esophageal part (64), and angle sensors (79 to 81) which detect the postures of a head/face part (28A), a neck/chest part (28B), and a lower jaw part (31).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2008Publication date: January 13, 2011Applicants: WASEDA UNIVERSITY, KYOTO KAGAKU CO., LTD.Inventors: Atsuo Takanishi, Yohan Noh, Jorge Solis, Hiroyuki Ishii, Yu Ogura, Koji Nagahiro, Masanao Segawa, Akihiro Shimomura, Tamotsu Katayama, Kazuyuki Hatake

Publication number: 20100009329Abstract: A tool for objectively evaluating the technique of a medical treatment such as an operation or a palpation performed by a doctor or a medical student. A medical technique evaluation system comprises a soft material member having an incision made in itself for simulative suture by a trainee such as a doctor or a medical student and elastic deformation by a force acting on the surroundings of the incision, reflective type photointerruptor for measuring the state values in three orthogonal axes according to the elastic deformation of the soft material member and a technique evaluation device for determining the evaluation score of the technique of the suture and ligation on the basis of the measured values from the reflective type photointerruptor. The technique evaluation device substitutes values based on the measured state values in the orthogonal three axes into a predetermined evaluation function to determine the evaluation score.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2007Publication date: January 14, 2010Applicant: WASEDA UNIVERSITYInventors: Atsuo Takanishi, Muhamad Aizdin, Nobuki Oshima, Ryu Midorikawa, Jorge Solis, Yu Ogura, Hiroyuki Ishii
