Clinical Simulation
Bone Marrow Biopsy & Aspiration
About This Course
What you'll experience
In a bone marrow aspiration procedure, a small portion of fluid is withdrawn from the marrow using a Jamshidi aspiration needle. In a biopsy procedure, a small section of the solid marrow is extracted for medical examination purposes. The step-by-step directions provide a guided approach to the program, assisted with regular feedback on performance.
Learning Objectives
- Explain bone marrow procedure to a virtual patient
- Demonstrate assessing bone marrow aspiration and biopsy site
- Demonstrate prepping patient for bone marrow aspiration and biopsy using standard procedure
- Demonstrate successful insertion of Jamshidi needle
- Demonstrate successfully obtaining bone marrow aspirate and bone biopsy
- Demonstrate proper handling of bone marrow aspirate and bone biopsy specimens
- Demonstrate standard technique of applying dressing to bone marrow aspiration and biopsy site
- Explain aftercare instructions to virtual patient

Bone Marrow Aspiration
In a bone marrow aspiration procedure, a small portion of fluid is withdrawn from the marrow using a Jamshidi aspiration needle. The procedure involves locating and cleaning the insertion site, numbing the site, making an insertion, and collecting the aspirate. As part of this VR simulation program, participants are provided with adequate affordances to perform every task in the procedure with ease and efficiency. The program has been designed to encourage learners to complete every step of the process in order to get thoroughly acquainted and experienced. Meaningful feedback is provided at regular intervals.

Physics-based InteractionHow it works
Training
With prompts, guidance and affordances learners are hand-held through the process to practice the procedure in a virtual environment with a virtual patient.
- Photorealistic Virtual Environment
- Physics-based Interactions
- Learn by Doing
- Visual Affordances
Measure progress
Assessment
Test skills to perform the procedures from start to finish without prompts. An incorrect step will take the learner back to the start to start afresh.
