An interventional study of Perceptual learning module and Control in Spinal Anesthesia Skill, Ultrasound Imaging of Anatomical Structures and Medical Education, sponsored by Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital. Status unknown at 1 site in Canada. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-08-01.
Sponsored by Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
This medical education research project aims to evaluate the impact of a directed perceptual learning module (PLM) on spinal sonoanatomy. Following a demographic questionnaire, participants will be exposed to a tutorial explaining the necessary theoretical foundations for the PLM as well as the functioning of the PLM interface. A pre-test involving selecting the best image from a video sequence depicting spinal sonoanatomy will be administered to all participants. Participants will then be randomized into two groups and exposed to video sequences in the same manner as during the pre-test, with immediate feedback in the intervention group and no feedback in the control group. The video sequences presented will be the same between the two groups. Finally, a post-test will be administered immediately and remotely after exposure to the PLM. The time window corresponding to the best image will be predefined by an expert and compared to the resident\'s value. The difference in feedback exposure between the two groups will not be revealed to limit biases.
Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital is the lead sponsor of 73 studies on the registry; 4 are open to participants now.

Inclusion Criteria (participants) :
Inclusion Criteria (experts) :
- Having used spinal ultrasound in clinical practice or taught it within the last year.
Exclusion Criteria (participants) :
This group will receive feedback upon completion of the task.
Other: Perceptual learning module
This group will not receive any feedback
Other: Control
Perceptual learning module providing feedback on the most relevant image for clinical practice in a spinal ultrasound video.
Participants in the control group will view the same videos as participants in the intervention group without feedback on the best image.
Improvement in the concordance of identifying the best image on the video within the interval specified by the expert in seconds, between the pre-test and the post-test.
Time frame: Between the pre-test and the immediate post-test, as well as the post-test at 1 month.
Improvement over time in the concordance of identifying the best image on the video within the interval specified by the expert in seconds
Time frame: During the intervention phase
Plan to share: Undecided
