Popis: Background We sought to evaluate our distributed practice program developed for training for beating heart anastomosis by employing a novel beating heart simulator. Methods Eleven trainees watched and reviewed instructional video recordings of coronary anastomosis methods with a BEAT + YOUCAN training device, then performed coronary anastomosis procedures under a beating condition. Next, they participated in a four-hour training program developed by faculty surgeons. Ten different anastomosis components were assessed on a five-point rating scale (5, good; 3, average; 1, poor). After finishing the training program, each trainee again performed a coronary anastomosis procedure. Component scores were then compared before and after the training program. Results The mean time to completion of the procedure improved from 1033 ± 424 to 795 ± 201 s (p Conclusion Trainees who participated in our four-hour focused training program for coronary anastomosis with a novel beating heart simulator showed improved ability under the beating condition in regard to technical skills related to handling instruments.
