Background: Surgeons commonly perform ultrasound-guided Transversus Abdominis Plane blocks to manage acute pain following abdominal surgeries. There is no consensus on whether surgeons should undergo basic hands-on training to perform TAP blocks or if video-based learning is sufficient. We theorized that simulation-based learning is superior to video-based learning. In the present study, we present the analysis of technical skills of UGSA-TAP block performance on a live porcine model by general surgery trainees after undergoing video or simulation-based learning. Methods: We performed a prospective, double-blinded, randomized study. Ten surgery residents and two surgery critical-care fellows (n = 12) without prior experience in performing the TAP block were recruited. The participants were randomized either into a video-based or simulation-based training group. After that, all participants performed a TAP block on a live anesthetized pig, which was recorded and scored by three blinded anesthesiologists. All participants completed a post-performance survey to assess their confidence in gaining competency in the UGSA-TAP block. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the differences between the two groups. P |
