Evaluation of an Ophthalmic Anesthesia Simulation System for Regional Block Training

Medical training with manikin-based simulation technology enables students to fine-tune their skills without compromising the safety of patients.1 An Ophthalmic Anesthesia Simulation System (OASiS; Fig 1) has been developed for learning, practicing, and improving the skills for administering ophthalmic regional blocks.2,3 The OASiS consists of a manikin having anatomically accurate orbital and ocular structures with an integrated sensing system to provide quantitative and qualitative feedback to the trainee on the block performed.
