Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to assess emergency medicine physician knowledge and technical skill in performance of ultrasound-guided serratus anterior nerve block in a low-fidelity simulation model workshop and to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the training program. By performing this study, the investigators hope to create a standardized training model which could potentially facilitate POCUS and critical procedural performance and thereby improve patient care.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Physician knowledge assessment The investigators will assess ultrasound-guided serratus anterior nerve block in a simulation model using surveys at 1 month pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree) 4 months
Primary Physician technical skills assessment The investigators will assess ultrasound-guided serratus anterior nerve block in a simulation model using surveys at 1 month pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree). 4 months
Secondary acceptability of our implementation strategy The investigators will evaluate EM physician education and simulation workshop implementation strategy acceptability using a post-intervention survey (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree). 4 months
Secondary appropriateness of our implementation strategy The investigators will evaluate EM physician education and simulation workshop implementation strategy appropriateness using a post-intervention survey (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree). 4 months
Secondary feasibility of our implementation strategy The investigators will evaluate EM physician education and simulation workshop implementation strategy feasibility using a post-intervention survey (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree). 4 months
