Simulation in teaching regional anesthesia: current perspectives
نویسندگان
چکیده
The emerging subspecialty of regional anesthesiology and acute pain medicine represents an opportunity to evaluate critically the current methods of teaching regional anesthesia techniques and the practice of acute pain medicine. To date, there have been a wide variety of simulation applications in this field, and efficacy has largely been assumed. However, a thorough review of the literature reveals that effective teaching strategies, including simulation, in regional anesthesiology and acute pain medicine are not established completely yet. Future research should be directed toward comparative-effectiveness of simulation versus other accepted teaching methods, exploring the combination of procedural training with realistic clinical scenarios, and the application of simulation-based teaching curricula to a wider range of learner, from the student to the practicing physician.

Problem-Based Learning Research in Anesthesia Teaching: Current Status and Future Perspective
The teaching curriculum in anesthesia involves traditional teaching methods like topic-based didactic lectures, seminars, and journal clubs; intraoperative apprenticeship; and problem-based learning (PBL) and simulation. The advantages of incorporating PBL in anesthesia teaching include development of skills like clinical reasoning, critical thinking, and self-directed learning; in addition it ...
متن کاملEffects of using simulation versus CD-ROM in the performance of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia.
The purpose of this study was to determine which method of teaching, CD-ROM, simulation, or a combination of both, was more effective in increasing the performance of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia. No studies have investigated these methods. The framework for this study was critical thinking. The study was a prospective, mixed (between and within) subjects, experimental design. The samp...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Success in performing ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blockade (PNB) demands sound knowledge of sonoanatomy, good scanning techniques, and proper hand-eye coordination. The objectives of our study were to evaluate whether simulator training aids success of novice operators in ultrasound-guided PNB and to determine what number of procedures is required to attain prof...
متن کاملCurriculum development for an advanced regional anesthesia education program: one institution's experience from apprenticeship to comprehensive teaching.
Results of recent attitude survey studies suggest that most practicing physicians are inadequately treating postoperative pain. Residents in anesthesia are confident in performing lumbar epidural and spinal anesthesia, but many are not confident in performing the blocks with which they have the least exposure. Changes need to be made in the training processes to a comprehensive model that prepa...
متن کاملAnesthesia: how to organize and train our teachers.
OVER 70 yr ago, Emery A. Rovenstine gave an address titled “Anesthesia: Organization for Teaching.” He stated, “Anesthetic requirements of the future, if present day trends in surgery are a criterion, will demand methods, skill and imagination beyond our present capacity. To meet this pertinent challenge, organization for teaching is essential.” Rovenstine advocated for supervised clinical inst...
