Surgical Sam is the world’s first beating heart, breathing and bleeding high fidelity team trainer for pediatric surgery.
Developed with Boston Children’s Hospital as the centerpiece of their team-training initiatives in pediatric cardiothoracic and general surgery, Surgical Sam is the world’s first beating heart, breathing and bleeding high fidelity team trainer for pediatric surgery. Surgical Sam ‘moves the needle’ on pediatric surgical team training by allowing important steps of surgery to really happen – allowing OR teams to fully immerse in simula-tions to optimize performance, safety and outcomes for children.
Surgical Sam is built on a “chassis” with interchangeable thoracic and abdominal anatomy. A cannulatable beating heart with replaceable right atrium and aorta are key elements of the cardiothoracic module; the belly component includes a complete GI tract and liver capsule bleed. Both
anatomies plug into the baby chassis, including intubation-compatible lungs, radial pulses, and hemodynamic flow to the cavities. Emergent resternotomy and redo laparotomy scenarios, developed by the faculty at Boston Children’s Hospital, have been repeatedly performed with each module by full OR teams as part of a multi-year study under the guidance of the BCH Simulator Program director and principal investigator, Peter Weinstock, MD, PhD. Together BCH and Chamberlain, led by company president and design director Eric Chamberlain, collaborated to bring Surgical Sam to life, meeting the heretofore unmet need of immersive team training that engages the entire OR, including surgery, in the care of the smallest of patients.
