OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to design and evaluate a low-cost, high-fidelity nasal cautery model (CauterClay) for increasing user confidence in carrying out nasal cautery.
METHODS: We created CauterClay with an air-dry clay scaffold, simulated nasal mucosal lining and bleeding point. We carried out single-centre assessment with a variety of nasal cautery-naive and experienced doctors. Doctors were asked to complete pre- and post-induction surveys regarding confidence, prior experience and model fidelity.
RESULTS: CauterClay use was associated with a statistically significant increase in user confidence in carrying out nasal cautery. All nasal cautery-naive users reported an increase in self-reported confidence following model use. Users rated the fidelity of our model highly, here we demonstrate how others can create their own CauterClay model.
CONCLUSION: Here we outline the first published low-cost, high-fidelity nasal cautery model. Our findings demonstrate it is associated with increased user confidence, suggesting it may be valuable for training nasal cautery-naive clinicians.
