Gelatin Thoracic Paravertebral Teaching Model for Placement of a Continuous Infusion Catheter in the Extrathoracic Paravertebral Space

To date, this is the first gelatin thoracic spine-rib model that has been used to teach ultrasound-guided catheter insertion into the paravertebral space, with removable testing areas that can be used by multiple users. This model can provide an inexpensive training tool that can be used in a surgical simulation setting.
