A virtual reality based simulator for learning nasogastric tube placement
A virtual training simulator is proposed for nasogastric tube (NGT) placement. Hybrid force model simulates the interactions between NGT and nasogastric passage. Insertion forces are computed analytically or by interpolating pre-computed FEM data. Quantitative performance metrics are available for objective assessment. The haptic feeling is similar to nurses experience in real NGT placement.
