Procedural Confidence and Usability of a Novel Lateral Cantholysis Trainer Compared to a Porcine Model

Abstract

Retrobulbar hemorrhage (RBH) is infrequent, occurring in 0.45-3.6% of civilian trauma. Failure to provide timely treatment with emergent lateral canthotomy and Cantholysis (LCC) to relieve ocular pressure and optic nerve ischemia risks permanent visual deficits; Given the infrequency of RBH, trainer models must be explored to improve procedural confidence; Simulators offer a less-expensive and less logistically challenging alternative to traditional live tissue training.
