Augmented Reality-aided Rescue Ultrasound Curriculum for Perioperative Crisis Management
Authors' conclusion
After completion of training, residents integrated ultrasound into clinical practice at an earlier stage of hemodynamic instability and developed RUS skills that were comparable with experts' performance.
Study context
- Population
- Third-year categorical anesthesia (CA-3) residents at a university hospital; simulated hemodynamically unstable patient scenario
- Participants
- 15 / 8 / 10
- Exposure
- RUS curriculum-trained vs traditionally trained (non-RUS-trained) CA-3 anesthesia residents, with attending anesthesiologists as expert reference
- RUS-trainedn = 15
- Non-RUS-trainedn = 8reference
- Expertsn = 10
- Outcome
- Time taken to request ultrasound in a standardized simulated hemodynamically unstable patient scenario
Methodological detailsnonrandomized, pre-post intervention assessment, single-centre
- Nonrandomized
- Pre-post intervention assessment
- Single-centre
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Time to request ultrasound in simulated hemodynamically unstable patient
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Motion metrics (path length, acceleration, time)
- Curriculum-trained residents comparable with experts
