• ECHOGUIDAGE : simulation of Locoregional anesthesia (Master Project and 1 PhD). In partnership with two anaesthetists from Brest and a medicine student who will use our production in his thesis, the project named EchoGuidage consists in building an ultrasound simulator. Indeed, according to one of the doctors, there is a real lack of performing simulators in the field of locoregional anaesthesia. Locoregional anaesthesia is the medical speciality in which the doctor detects a nerve with an ultrasound, and then inserts a needle close enough to the nerve to anaesthetizes it. Though there are still some products available on the market, they are not satisfying and developed enough, compared to what exists in other medical fields. It is thus hard for students to train and practice anaesthesia. Detecting a needle on an ultrasound picture, and then injecting the anaesthetizing, is an arduous task that requires a lot of experience. Hence, the purpose of the project is to build an effective simulator that would highly benefit students, by providing them with a reliable tool, that allows them to practice their speciality, without risking a patient’s health. The project is divided into three main parts. The first one aims to create the synchronisation between the movements of the probe and the pictures displayed on the screen. Then, in the second part, the insertion of the needle on the screen is to be added. Finally, during the third and last part, the injection of the fluid, the anaesthetizing, will be implemented in the simulator.
