Simulation-Based Training for Ultrasound-Guided Perineural Catheter Insertion
Completed
Conditions studied: Pain Management, Simulation, Training, Ultrasonography
In brief
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.

Who can join
Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.
You may qualify if…
- 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.
You may not qualify if…
- 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.
