A Multimodal Approach to Lateral Canthotomy and Cantholysis Training for Emergency Medicine Trainees: A Simulation Training Package

Key Points

• Simulation training enhances skills in lateral canthotomy and cantholysis, leading to improved readiness for intervention.
• Results indicate that a low-fidelity model effectively teaches critical procedures for managing orbital compartment syndrome.
• Assessment using a multimodal approach shows significant improvement in trainees' procedural skills, enabling better performance in emergencies.
• Findings suggest that enhanced training could reduce complications in real-life situations, supporting the need for better educational tools.
