3D-Printed dummy could revolutionize ventilation training
NCT ID NCT06171035
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · 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, 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.
