Training System for the Medical Procedure of Cannulation

This document presents a learning system architecture for the practice of the cannulation procedure for medical students in cardiovascular specialization. The architecture is composed of three modules that support the practice and learning of this surgical procedure; surgical instrumentation, hygiene and simulation of the cannulation. The architecture rests on different multimedia technologies that allow an autonomous practice but that may be supervised by the teacher. In the document are discussed the context, the need for tools for this medical practice, an architectural design of the proposed system and a comparison with the current practices in medicine programs.
