Summary

Prospective study based on psychometric principles.#

To generate a validated test of ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia that can used to differentiate reliably between users of different skill levels.

Primary outcome:

Development of a validated, reliable and defensible tool to test ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia image interpretation skills.

Secondary outcomes:

Development a validated, reliable and defensible assessment tool assessing anatomical, clinical knowledge and the performance of ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia:

Assessment of anatomical knowledge relevant to performing a local anaesthetic injection around peripheral nerves

Assessment of clinical knowledge relevant to regional anaesthesia required to perform a local anaesthetic injection around peripheral nerves

Assessment of knowledge relating to the performance of an ultrasound-guided local anaesthetic injection around peripheral nerve

Conditions

  • Anesthesia

Interventions

OTHER

Preliminary testing

The pilot test will be administered by local investigators via a computer-based application to 35-50 trainees and consultants. The cohorts will include an equal number of trainees and consultants of varying experience, based on the new RCOA curriculum and the extent of their regional experience (stage 1 (CT1-3); stage 2 (ST4-5); stage 3 (ST6-7); stage 3 + regional fellowship trained; consultant; consultant with special interest in regional; consultant + regional fellowship trained). The pilot test will contain short video clips and images of ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia with questions in a constructed response question (CRQ) format to identify relevant structures, anatomy and clinical knowledge.

OTHER

Psychometric main study testing (Phase 5)

The main study assessment tool will be administered to trainees of all levels and consultants, aiming to recruit an equal number across different stages of the RCoA curriculum and of varying regional anaesthesia experience (stage 1; stage 2; stage 3; stage 3 + regional fellowship trained; consultant; consultant with special interest in regional; consultant + regional fellowship trained). The exam will consist of constructed response questions (CRQs), which will require the participant to write free-text responses to questions, in line with RCoA examinations.
