Cardiac surgeon Roman Sorokin from Arkhangelsk invented a cardiotrainer that is as close as possible to the human heart. It will help in the training of young specialists in the field of cardiovascular surgery.
The trainer is not a synthetic simulator, but a real pig heart. A pump pumps water through it, which will later be replaced with a technical fluid that is similar in physical properties to blood.
Filled with water, the chambers of the heart begin to pulsate. Therefore, the device resembles a real human heart, the cardiac surgeon explained.
According to Sorokin, the trainer can be used to train cardiovascular surgeons. This will help in developing special skills and obtaining accreditation, he concluded.
