Background:

Ultrasonography (US) is crucial for neuraxial procedures in patients with elevated body mass index (BMI).
Teaching US-assisted techniques in clinical settings is challenging due to time and patient factors.
Simulator-based training offers a potential solution to enhance learning and minimize patient discomfort.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effectiveness of simulator-based training for teaching US-assisted neuraxial procedures.
To compare a conventional training approach with an experimental approach incorporating 3D visualization and deliberate practice.

Main Methods:

24 learners were randomized into two groups: conventional (C) and experimental (E).
Course C used human models for US techniques and simulators for practice.
Course E utilized simulators with 3D visualization and deliberate practice, excluding human models.

Main Results:

Both groups showed similar sonoanatomy identification and lumbar sonography assessment scores.
Experimental group learners demonstrated a significantly higher adherence to procedural steps before needle insertion (75% vs 16.7%).
Both groups achieved high rates of successful dural punctures on a high-BMI simulator.

Conclusions:

Simulator-based courses can effectively teach US-assisted neuraxial procedures without human models.
The experimental course, integrating 3D visualization and deliberate practice, superiorly improved stepwise procedural execution.
