ABSTRACT PURPOSE: Implement a constructivist approach in thoracic drainage training in surgical ex vivo pig models, to compare the acquisition of homogeneous surgical skills between medical students. METHODS: Experimental study, prospective, transversal, analytical, controlled, three steps. Selection, training, evaluation. Inclusion criteria: a) students without training in thoracic drainage; b) without exposure to constructivist methodology. 2) Exclusion criteria: a) students developed surgical skills; b) a history of allergy. (N = 312). Two groups participated in the study: A and B. Lecture equal for both groups. Differentiated teaching: group A, descriptive and informative method; group B, learning method based on problems. A surgical ex vivo pig model for training the chest drain was created. Were applied pre and post-test, test goal-discursive and OSATS scale. RESULTS: Theoretical averages: Group A = 9.5 ± 0.5; Group B = 8.8 ± 1.1 (p = 0.006). Medium Practices: Group A = 22.8 ± 1.8; Group B = 23.0 ± 2.8 (p <0.001). CONCLUSION: Through the constructivist methodology implemented in the thoracic drainage training in surgical ex vivo pig models, has proven the acquisition of surgical skills homogeneous compared among medical students.

Objetivo: descrever e avaliar a aceitação do modelo porcino de baixo custo para drenagem torácica em projeto de ensino médico no oeste do Paraná, Brasil. Métodos: um modelo suíno de baixa tecnologia e baixo custo foi desenvolvido em projeto de ensino de drenagem torácica. Alunos de Medicina e médicos residentes receberam instruções teóricas sobre o procedimento e realizaram a drenagem torácica no modelo porcino. Após realizarem o procedimento, os participantes responderam a um questionário sobre o modelo experimental proposto. Esse estudo apresenta o modelo e analisa as respostas ao questionário. Resultados: setenta e nove participantes usaram e avaliaram o modelo. A correlação anatômica entre o modelo porcino e a anatomia humana foi considerada alta com média de 8,1+1,0. Todos os participantes aprovaram o modelo porcino de baixo custo para o ensino de drenagem torácica. Conclusão: o modelo porcino de baixo custo para drenagem torácica apresentado neste projeto de ensino foi facilmente montado e teve boa aceitação local entre os participantes. Esse modelo tem potencial para ser usado como ferramenta de ensino na educação médica.

Objective: to describe and evaluate the acceptance of a low-cost chest tube insertion porcine model in a medical education project in the southwest of Paraná, Brazil. Methods: we developed a low-cost and low technology porcine model for teaching chest tube insertion and used it in a teaching project. Medical trainees - students and residents - received theoretical instructions about the procedure and performed thoracic drainage in this porcine model. After performing the procedure, the participants filled a feedback questionnaire about the proposed experimental model. This study presents the model and analyzes the questionnaire responses. Results: seventy-nine medical trainees used and evaluated the model. The anatomical correlation between the porcine model and human anatomy was considered high and averaged 8.1±1.0 among trainees. All study participants approved the low-cost porcine model for chest tube insertion. Conclusion: the presented low-cost porcine model for chest tube insertion training was feasible and had good acceptability among trainees. This model has potential use as a teaching tool in medical education.
