简要总结
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
详细描述
This is a prospective, multi-centre study leading to the identification of a validated, reliable and defensible tool for assessing ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia (UGRA) image interpretation.
This study will have 5 Phases:
Phase 1 - nerve block identification:
A panel of academic experts in regional anaesthesia will review published evidence from UGRA international guidelines. They will determine which UGRA nerve blocks are relevant to anaesthetic practice in the UK, and list the anatomical and clinical knowledge that is relevant to performing these nerve blocks.
Phase 2 - content and question generation:

盲法说明
Participants Participants will complete the test online or face-face and questions for each participant will be presented in a random order - no test is the same. Participants will not know the result of the test.
Investigators Each participant will be identified by a unique sequential number identifier allocated to them and this will ensure all participants will have pseudo-anonymised data. Investigators can only veiw the pseudo-anonymised results.

研究组 & 干预措施
Preliminary testing (Phase 3)
The pilot test will be administered by local investigators via a computer-based application to 35-50 trainees and consultants.
干预措施: Preliminary testing (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).
干预措施: Psychometric main study testing (Phase 5) (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Questionnaire development
时间窗: 18 months
Develop a validated, reliable and defensible test of ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia image interpretation. The test will include constructed response questions to assess: * anatomical and clinical knowledge related to ultrasound image interpretation that is relevant to performing a local anaesthetic injection around peripheral nerves * knowledge relating to the performance of an ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block
