Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Anesthesiology
  • Medical Simulation

Background:

  • Simulation-based training is increasingly vital for physician education prior to patient contact.
  • Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) is a growing technique for regional blocks, necessitating specialized skill development.
  • Existing UGRA simulators are often perishable or lack anatomical accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and describe novel, anatomically based partial-task simulators for ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) training.
  • To address the limitations of current UGRA simulation methods.

Main Methods:

  • Development of three sonoanatomically accurate, non-perishable simulators.
  • An upper body torso simulator for interscalene and infraclavicular nerve blocks.
  • A femoral manikin for femoral nerve blocks.
  • A leg model for sciatic nerve blocks (subgluteal and popliteal).

Main Results:

  • Successfully created three distinct, anatomically based partial-task simulators for UGRA.
  • The simulators cover key upper and lower extremity nerve block locations.
  • These models provide a realistic and durable platform for UGRA skill acquisition.

Conclusions:

  • The developed sonoanatomical simulators offer a significant advancement in UGRA training.
  • These tools provide a non-perishable, anatomically relevant alternative for practicing regional anesthesia techniques.
  • This innovation supports enhanced physician preparedness for performing UGRA procedures.
