Novice Behavior
• 520 ultrasound-guided nerve block captured
on video and reviewed
– 7 errors: needle not visualized, inadequate
equipment preparation, poor ergonomics, target
malpositioning on screen, unintentional probe
movement, awkward hand position on needle,
and excessive visual focus on hands
• By the 60th block, still 2.8 errors per block

Summary
We discussed:
• The “learning curve”
• Technology for teaching and learning
• Technology for assessment
@EMARIANOMD
“Regional anesthesia is a vital skill for any
anesthesiologist and ultrasound-guided
techniques have enhanced our ability to achieve
effective and consistent blocks. It is important
that we ensure our graduating residents have
the requisite skills to perform basic regional
techniques in a safe and effective manner in
order to disseminate the benefits of regional
anesthesia to the broader surgical population.”
McCartney & Mariano. RAPM 2016;41:663.

Technology for Teaching and Learning Regional Anesthesia

Editor's Notes

  1. This is likely the reason I was invited to give this talk. We recently published a literature review in Local and Regional Anesthesia. A special thank you to my co-authors, Eddie Kim, Steve Howard, and Ed Mariano. If you are on twitter the key resources from this talk have been tweeted from my account.
  2. In our review, we identified 79 articles focused on simulation and regional anesthesia. We categorized each article into the following categories. Simulation-based educational interventions, where simulation was used to teach. Novel simulator design where various simulators for regional anesthesia were designed and tested. Use of a simulated environment as an experimental setting, where a simulated environment was used to test a device or novel technique. And finally a category the was outside the scope of our review and teaching in any sense.
  3. You will probably not be able to read this, but even the three studies that included a control group had small sample sizes of between 10-20 per group. Most found significant improvements in performance for the group taught using simulation. As mentioned all the other studies of educational interventions using simulation either did not have a control group or did not test a comparable group for an impact. Thus the incremental benefit of simulation in these studies was not investigated.
  4. We categorized 18 articles into novel simulator design. I believe regional anesthesiologists have many similarities to MacGyver – there are very handy and creative and maybe thrifty. Simulators can be inorganic or organic. Inorganic phantom simulators are common but in my opinion lack realistic tactile sensation and haptic feedback. They also do not allow for injection of liquid solutions. They are useful for teaching procedural steps, dexterity and needle guidance.
  5. In contrast, organic phantoms – in this image meat with inserted bovine tendon produce realistic sonoanatomy and do allow for injection and even catheter insertion. However they are not reusable. Since it is difficult to present every simulator for regional anesthesia we define novel as new and previously undescribed product employing innovative technology to represent the realistic scenario of performing a regional anesthesia procedure. We further categorized them into four forms: a physical model, virtual reality model, robot-assisted model, and environmental modification.
  6. Finally, we categorized articles which used simulation to evaluate a new medical device or established technique. For example, assessing the effectiveness of the air-test for catheter tip location. Also assessing the management of LAST using a checklist
