Summary

In this study the intervention consists of a one-day-training program for nurses and three supervised ultrasound guided femoral nerve block (UGFNB) per registered nurse.

The training consists of an instruction movie, one-day on-site-simulation and practical examination. The nurses are watching an instruction video and review current local guidelines for UGFNB in advance. The one-day training is situated in a simulation center and consists of theoretical and practical training divided into; infection prevention, anatomy, use of ultrasound and prevention and treatment of complications. A ultrasound model (Gen II Femoral Vascular Access and Regional Anesthesia Ultrasound Training Model) and a living human model is used to examine the femoral nerve and the neighboring structures using ultrasound. At the end of the one-day course, the nurses attends a practical examination with the researchers and anesthesiologists observing, to assure that they could perform the UGFNB procedure correctly. To pass the exam and be able to move on to the supervised blocks in real patients, there has to be a consensus between the researchers and anesthesiologist that they had sufficient knowledge and practical skills. 1) Sterile procedure 2) Management of the ultrasound machine and oral description of the anatomic surroundings in the groin area 3) Preparation of the local anesthetics and performance of an UGFNB. They also have to do an oral presentation in how they would perform a cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedure and how to manage complications / toxic reactions. Approved exam required at least seven points. This study will explore if a one-day course as described above is adequate, sufficient and maintains the safety framework of performing UGFNB in nurses
