Advanced Simulator for Pediatric Tibial Intraosseous Access Training 1: Neuro-Oncology Unit, Meyer Children’s University Hospital, IRCCS, Florence, Italy; 2: Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Florence, 50139, Florence, Italy; 3: Meyer Simulation Center, Meyer Children’s Hospital IRCCS, Florence, Italy Intraosseous (IO) access is a life-saving procedure in pediatric emergencies. However, existing training tools either lack realism and durability or provide high fidelity at prohibitive costs, limiting accessibility and repeated use in routine training. A high-fidelity pediatric full-leg manikin for proximal tibial IO access was developed using CT-based anatomical modeling, modular CAD design, 3D printing, and silicone casting. A low-cost, replaceable Car-tridge with an integrated liquid vial enables realistic feedback while minimiz-ing consumable costs. Validation with 72 clinicians showed high perceived realism (mean score 6.0/7) and strong educational value, with accurate tactile feedback and fluid aspiration. The proposed simulator offers a realistic, du-rable, and cost-effective solution that supports repeated high-quality pediatric IO training. | |
