BACKGROUND: Surgeons commonly perform ultrasound-guided Transversus Abdominis Plane blocks to manage acute pain following abdominal surgeries. There is no consensus on whether surgeons should undergo basic hands-on training to perform TAP blocks or if video-based learning is sufficient. We theorized that simulation-based learning is superior to video-based learning. In the present study, we present the analysis of technical skills of UGSA-TAP block performance on a live porcine model by general surgery trainees after undergoing video or simulation-based learning.
METHODS: We performed a prospective, double-blinded, randomized study. Ten surgery residents and two surgery critical-care fellows (n = 12) without prior experience in performing the TAP block were recruited. The participants were randomized either into a video-based or simulation-based training group. After that, all participants performed a TAP block on a live anesthetized pig, which was recorded and scored by three blinded anesthesiologists. All participants completed a post-performance survey to assess their confidence in gaining competency in the UGSA-TAP block. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the differences between the two groups. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTS: All simulation-based learning participants successfully performed a survey scan, identified the three muscular layers of the abdominal wall, and identified the transversus abdominis plane compared to 50 %, 50 %, and 33 % video-based learning group participants for the respective parameters (p < 0.05). While some performance metrics showed no statistically significant differences between the groups, substantial effect sizes (Cohen's ℎ up to 1.07) highlighted notable differences in participants' performance. Both groups exhibited confidence in core competencies, with varied rates of satisfactory skill execution. Performance assessed using a global rating scale revealed a higher passing rate for the simulation group (83 % vs. 33 %). Participant feedback via the Likert scale reflected confidence post-training. Inter-rater reliability (0.83-1) confirmed the robustness of study evaluations.
CONCLUSION: The UGSA-TAP block curriculum should be introduced into the surgical residency programs with an emphasis on simulation-based learning to enhance the procedural skills of the trainees before transitioning to surgical patients.
