Bach Mai Hospital has a modern vascular access simulation room.

(Dan Tri) - Bach Mai Hospital's leaders expect that the simulation room will provide practice for 10,000 medical staff each year, improving vascular access skills according to international standards.

On November 10, Bach Mai Hospital put into operation a modern vascular access simulation room, marking a new step forward in medical training and improving the safety of intravenous treatment in Vietnam. On the same day, the hospital signed a strategic cooperation agreement with a global medical technology group with a history of more than 125 years.

Associate Professor, Dr. Vu Van Giap, Deputy Director of Bach Mai Hospital, said the hospital receives between 8,000 and 10,000 outpatients and cares for about 4,000 inpatients every day. Many cases are in the severe group, requiring complex vascular interventions.

With ultrasound guidance, access to blood vessels will be precise and safe. The system with IV lines and blood-simulating solutions allows medical staff to practice and operate like on patients (Photo: Thanh Duong).

"With this modern simulation room, medical staff can practice and improve their vascular access skills according to international standards. This is especially important to reduce the risk of local infection and sepsis," Associate Professor Giap emphasized.

According to experts, intravenous infusion is a common technique but has many potential complications if not performed properly.

The simulation room is located at the Institute of Training and Research of Bach Mai Hospital, equipped with a vascular simulation model system and an ultrasound machine to guide the procedure. This is a practical training model to help doctors and nurses practice safe vascular access skills before performing on real patients.

"This is a great opportunity for more than 10,000 medical staff from provincial and local hospitals to come to Bach Mai Hospital every year to practice and learn advanced vascular access techniques," Associate Professor Giap informed.

According to Associate Professor Giap, the goal of the cooperation is to successfully replicate the program of establishing intravenous lines to provincial and local medical centers (Photo: Thanh Duong).

According to doctors, thanks to the simulation system and vascular ultrasound machine, students can practice procedures such as central venous catheter placement, pleural fluid aspiration, abdominal drainage, etc. with higher accuracy and reduced risks when practicing on patients.

The Deputy Director of Bach Mai Hospital said that in addition to specialized training activities, the hospital especially emphasizes the role of building scientific evidence and collecting actual clinical data.

“This is the foundation to provide a solid basis to convince the Ministry of Health and colleagues nationwide about the safety, efficacy, and especially the cost-effectiveness analysis of this advanced vascular approach.

This is the most academic and scientific approach to ensure the ability to successfully expand and replicate the program of establishing intravenous lines to provincial and local medical centers, a goal that the cooperation program is aiming for," said Associate Professor Giap.
