Sharjah 24: In a pioneering move to enhance advanced medical training in interventional cardiology, Al Qassimi Hospital in Sharjah, part of the Emirates Health Services (EHS), has announced the adoption of the world's latest cardiac catheterisation simulation device from "Heartroid." This state-of-the-art device includes three advanced simulation models designed to treat three types of heart diseases. This initiative is part of EHS's ongoing efforts to equip the hospital with cutting-edge technologies that help improve the efficiency of medical staff and ensure patient safety.
Dr. Arif Al Nooryani, Director of Al Qassimi Hospital, emphasised that the adoption of modern technologies aligns with EHS's mission to fulfill the UAE's vision for developing and sustaining the healthcare sector by enhancing health services and integrating the latest technologies and medical practices. This approach is in line with their continuous commitment to improving the skills of medical staff and providing high-quality healthcare to all community members.
Al Nooryani elaborated that the introduction of the first cardiac catheterisation simulation device of its kind in the Middle East demonstrates a strong commitment to elevating local medical competencies and offering an exceptional educational environment for trainee doctors. It also highlights the increasing focus on delivering the best medical services by enhancing doctors' and specialists' skills in interventional cardiology through realistic simulations of complex medical procedures. This initiative aims to ensure patient safety, improve the quality of medical education, and enhance treatment outcomes. Additionally, a series of workshops will be conducted to train medical staff on using the Japan-manufactured simulation device with its three models.
Safe Coronary Intervention Simulation:
The first simulation model allows medical professionals to train on coronary arterial interventions without needing to perform them on actual patients, thanks to a consistent training environment and scenarios that replicate the heart's arteries. This approach minimizes the risks associated with traditional training on stent placement and installation, making it an excellent method for training medical staff and enhancing their skills, ultimately improving the quality of healthcare provided. Doctors can use this model to practice complex procedures in a risk-free environment, gaining realistic experience that boosts their confidence and proficiency in real-life cases.
Aortic Valve Replacement Simulation:
The aortic valve replacement simulation model stands out as one of the most advanced, allowing doctors to practice aortic valve replacements without exposing patients to the actual surgery's risks. This is particularly important due to the complexity of these operations and the sensitivity of patients with valve stenosis. This technology ensures that doctors can train safely without compromising patient safety, which in turn improves treatment outcomes and increases the success rates of surgical procedures.
Cardiac Electrophysiology Simulation:
The third model is dedicated to cardiac electrophysiology, a new area where experiments are conducted via simulation. This user-friendly model provides realistic images of the heart, enabling doctors to practice cardiac ablation procedures using three-dimensional maps. It offers a safe and manageable training environment, preparing doctors to perform these precise operations successfully and enhancing their expertise in this advanced field. This technology allows doctors to refine their skills in accurately identifying and treating cardiac electrical disorders more effectively.
For an optimal experience, please
