Background:　Intraspinal　anesthesia　poses　significant　teaching　challenges　and　inadequate　teaching　resources,　which　ultimately　limit　students’　opportunities　for　practice.　To　address　this　issue,　we　aimed　to　develop　a　virtual　platform　for　combined　spinal-epidural　anesthesia　that　merges　virtual　reality　technology　with　haptic　feedback　technology,　while　assessing　its　educational　impact　and　learning　outcomes.　Methods:　We　utilized　MIMICS,　3Ds　MAX,　and　UNITY　3D　software　to　perform　3D　reconstruction　based　on　lumbar　CT/MRI　data　from　a　standard　male　volunteer.　The　haptic　coefficients　were　configured　on　each　layer　by　20　experienced　anesthesiologists　in　accordance　with　the　Geomagic　Touch　X　force　feedback　device.　A　total　of　20　anesthesiology　interns　completed　30　virtual　puncture　training　sessions.　Two　experienced　anesthetists　evaluated　the　efficacy　of　the　platform　and　the　level　of　mastery　achieved　using　the　Global　Rating　Scale　(GRS)　and　a　Checklist　score,　respectively.　Finally,　a　questionnaire　survey　was　conducted　to　gather　feedback　on　the　virtual　platform.　Results:　After　the　10th　session,　the　puncture　time　stabilized　at　2.4 min.　As　the　number　of　sessions　increased,　the　Global　Rating　Scale　(GRS)　score　stabilized　by　the　8th　session,　and　the　Checklist　scores　tended　to　stabilize　by　the　10th　session.　Results　from　questionnaires　indicated　that　over　half　of　the　anesthesiology　interns　(70%)　believed　that　the　platform,　which　exhibited　strong　repeatability,　improved　their　anatomical　recognition　and　provided　a　strong　sense　of　breakthrough　in　identifying　the　ligamentum　flavum.　The　majority　of　them　(80%)　expressed　satisfaction　with　the　virtual　platform.　Conclusions:　The　platform　effectively　facilitated　the　acquisition　of　basic　and　accurate　puncture　skills　on　a　virtual　patient.　©　2023,　BioMed　Central　Ltd.,　part　of　Springer　Nature.
