Study Summary

This trialexamines if online education can help anesthesiology trainees perform ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia competently.

This trial is for medical students who have done less than two ultrasound-guided supraclavicular blocks and are open to learning either through in-person teaching or by studying online materials independently. They must be willing to participate in an anonymous assessment of their skills.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to compare the effectiveness of self-study using online resources from NYSORA and USRA with traditional, in-person teaching methods for performing ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block, a regional anesthesia technique.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on educational methods rather than medical treatments, there are no direct side effects related to drugs or interventions. However, participants may experience varying levels of stress or anxiety due to learning new procedures.
