Nerve Blocks Clinical Trial
Official title:
Standardized Assessment of Emergency Physician Ultrasound-guided Nerve Block Training Using a Low-fidelity Simulation Model
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.

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 |
