3D-Printed dummy could revolutionize ventilation training

NCT ID NCT06171035

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a 3D-printed manikin helps respiratory therapy students learn noninvasive positive pressure ventilation better than traditional models. Fifty students from Fu Jen Catholic University will take a test before and after training with either the 3D-printed model or a standard one. The goal is to see if the high-fidelity manikin boosts learning and problem-solving skills.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ€” not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
3D-printed high-fidelity craniofacial manikin model
What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve how respiratory therapy students learn noninvasive ventilation, potentially leading to better patient care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage educational study with only 50 participants from one university, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is a teaching tool, not a treatment.
