Abstract Body : INTRODUCTION
The study of anatomy has been innovating every year, leaving the classic method of teaching, with the use of dissection and/or cadaver prosection, for a study of clinical anatomy with the implementation of new teaching methods. The growth of new technologies seeks to stimulate student learning, using virtual dissection tables, three-dimensional animation programs or the implementation of 3D printers.
Currently, many medical schools are introducing simulators allowing different doctor-patient experiences in resin models and in fresh/frozen or preserved cadavers.
OBJECTIVE
To implement new educational techniques in the basic anatomy course at a Brazilian Medical School (Federal University of Bahia), using cadavers embalmed to introduce different doctor-patient experiences.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
We used a donated 78-year-old female body, embalmed with Masuko and Andrade's technique (2019) and subsequent formaldehyde neutralization with 5% monoethanolamine. After embalming, the cadaver was soft preserved and flexible, with almost natural colors, allowing different simulation techniques. During each clinical procedure, the anatomical structures were identified.
RESULTS
The study of anatomy based on simulation allowed the demonstration of multiple medical skills for learning techniques, such thoracentesis, pericardiocentesis, subclavian, internal jugular and femoral venous accesses, cardiac massage, intramuscular, intravenous and subcutaneous injections, among others.
CONCLUSIONS
The use of cadavers in the different procedures with Masuko and Andrade's embalming technique allowed a new and realistic simulation resource, low cost, easy to perform and don’t require expensives equipments.
