Simulation system for training in endoscopic procedures

摘要

A simulation system for training in endoscopic procedures includes an endoscope apparatus, which includes an operating part with at least one valve, a control device to generate a virtual image of an endoscopic operating scene depending on an actuation of the valve and a display device to display the virtual image, the endoscope apparatus includes for example a siphoning line, an insufflation line and/or a flushing line upon which the valve acts. The simulation system includes pressure-generating means to impact the siphoning line, the insufflation line and/or the flushing line with reduced or excess pressure, sensor means to measure pressure and/or flow in the siphoning line, the insufflation line and/or the flushing line and transmission means to transmit the measured values provided by the sensor means to the control device to be used in generating the virtual image.

1. A simulation system for training in endoscopic procedures, including:
an endoscope apparatus that comprises an operating handle with at least one valve, and at least one line upon which the at least one valve acts, the at least one line transmitting fluid; a pressure-generating device to impact the at least one line with reduced or excess pressure; a sensor disposed in a supply unit that is connected to the endoscope apparatus, the sensor measuring pressure or flow in the at least one line; a control device to generate a virtual image of an endoscopic operating scene depending on an actuation of the at least one valve via measuring at least one of pressure or flow in the at least one line; transmission means to transmit measured values provided by the sensor to the control device to be used in determining the actuation of the at least one valve and generating the virtual image; and a display device to display the virtual image.
