Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEffect of feedback content on novices' learning ultrasound guided interventional procedures.
Feedback, of various forms, is effective at improving performance of medical procedures in simulated and clinical settings. Our objectives were to compare the effects of two forms of feedback on i) novice learning of in-plane technique for ultrasound-guided interventional procedures and ii) to evaluate novice retention of skill 24 hours after a standard learning session. ⋯ When feedback was based on KP, novices acquired pre-defined skills more quickly and made fewer errors during the learning phase (compared with controls). When feedback content was based on KR novices acquired pre-defined skills more quickly but made similar numbers of errors during the learning phase (compared with controls). In conclusion, these findings should inform development of training and assessment programs for peripheral nerve blockade.
