Improving the Use of Perclose ProGlide Vascular Suture System Through Simulator Training: A Retrospective Queue Study

Abstract

Abstract: Objectives This study aims to assess whether training with simulators can improve the learning efficiency of the Perclose ProGlide vascular closure system, thereby accelerating proficiency and mastery of the closure system. Methods This study adopts a retrospective cohort design, selecting 11 physicians trained at this center from September 2020 to September 2022 as the study subjects. They are divided into a research group and a control group. Different training methods are employed for their use of the Perclose ProGlide vascular closure system. The control group learns only through manuals and instructional videos, while the research group adds simulator training. After the training, both groups of physicians use the Perclose ProGlide system to close the puncture site of the femoral artery in 100 cases, and the outcomes are compared. Results There is no statistically significant difference in the success rate of using the Perclose ProGlide vascular closure system between the two groups（P>0.05）. The research group shows a significantly shorter device release time（P<0.05）and a reduced bleeding volume during closure（P<0.05）. The comparison of research results between the other two groups showed no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion The use of simulators contributes to accelerating vascular surgeons' mastery of the Perclose ProGlide vascular closure system, enabling physicians to operate more proficiently in actual procedures and reducing patient bleeding.
