Cervical nerve blocks require high precision due to the proximity of critical structures, such as the spinal cord and the vertebral and carotid arteries. Training opportunities are limited by the risks associated with fluoroscopy-guided procedures, ethical constraints of cadaveric models, and the high cost of commercial simulators. Three-dimensional (3D) printing offers an accessible and customizable alternative for procedural training. A cervical spine simulator was constructed from a multislic...
