Trial ID: NCT01688271

Age - 18 Years-N/A Condition - Pain Gender - All Accepting Healthy Volunteers - yes

Purpose

This study will determine the efficacy of a teaching program incorporating hybrid simulation in training practicing anesthesiologists on ultrasound (US)-guided continuous peripheral nerve block (CPNB). This study will also examine the extent of practice change following participation in a regional anesthesia teaching program incorporating hybrid simulation. In addition, this study will assess remaining obstacles to incorporating the use of US-guided perineural catheters through identifying potential future interventions and "tool-kits" for setting up perineural catheter programs.

Official Title

A Prospective Study to Determine the Efficacy of Simulation-based Training on Practicing Anesthesiologists' Acquisition of Ultrasound-guided Perineural Catheter Insertion Skills

Eligibility


Inclusion Criteria:

   - Anesthesiologists in practice ten years or more; active board certification (American
   Board of Anesthesiologists); active license to practice medicine in California; and
   willingness to spend one full day (8 hours) participating in the standardized workshop
   and undergo interval survey and interview follow-up for one year.

Exclusion Criteria:

   - Formal training (e.g., post-graduate fellowship) in regional anesthesia; current
   practice includes the routine performance of US-guided PNB (≥10 blocks per month); or
   visual, hearing, or other communication impairment that would interfere with video
   recording or require substantial deviation from the standardized teaching curriculum.
