摘要：

Introduction: This article provides directions for creating a cost-effective epistaxis simulator using an existing CPR Trainer and expired medical supplies. Methods: An epistaxis simulator was created and presented to attending Emergency Medicine physician-educators at Evanston Northwestern Healthcare as an adjunct for procedural training. The materials and methods for making the nosebleed simulator are outlined in this article. Results: We created an epistaxis model utilizing an older CPR Trainer, i.v. tubing, and a bag of normal saline. The model provided realistic epistaxis. This simulator is able to simulate a nosebleed's response to proper positioning of nasal packing by creating hemostasis. Conclusions: Existing task trainers can be modified to provide learners with novel features that can expand the number of simulated clinical conditions. (Sim Healthcare 3: 239-241, 2008)
