# Ultrasound-guided Nerve Block Training Model and Evaluation Method

**Official Title:** Standardized Assessment of Emergency Physician Ultrasound-guided Nerve Block Training Using a Low-fidelity Simulation Model

**NCT ID:** [NCT06219005](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06219005)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** COMPLETED
- **Phase:** NA
- **Study Type:** INTERVENTIONAL
- **Target Enrollment:** 86
- **Lead Sponsor:** Duke University
- **Conditions:** Nerve Blocks, Medical Education, Simulation, Crisis Resource Management, Medical Education in Emergency Ultrasound
- **Start Date:** 2024-11-14
- **Completion Date:** 2025-06-05
- **CT.gov Last Update:** 2025-08-26

## Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to assess emergency medicine physician knowledge and technical skill in performance of ultrasound-guided serratus anterior nerve block in a low-fidelity simulation model workshop and to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the training program. By performing this study, the investigators hope to create a standardized training model which could potentially facilitate POCUS and critical procedural performance and thereby improve patient care.

## Eligibility

- **Sex:** ALL
- **Healthy Volunteers:** Yes

```
Inclusion Criteria:

* Emergency medicine attending and resident physicians

Exclusion Criteria:

* ED nursing, ED technicians, and advanced practice physicians (APPs)
```

## Arms

- **Emergency Medicine attending physicians and residents** (EXPERIMENTAL)

## Interventions

- **ultrasound education and simulation workshop** (BEHAVIORAL) — workshop testing emergency physician knowledge and technical skills in performing ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in a simulation model

## Primary Outcomes

- **Physician knowledge assessment** _(time frame: 4 months)_ — The investigators will assess ultrasound-guided serratus anterior nerve block in a simulation model using surveys at 1 month pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree)
- **Physician technical skills assessment** _(time frame: 4 months)_ — The investigators will assess ultrasound-guided serratus anterior nerve block in a simulation model using surveys at 1 month pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention (Likert scale 0-5 with values of Strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree).

## Secondary Outcomes

- **acceptability of our implementation strategy** _(time frame: 4 months)_
- **appropriateness of our implementation strategy** _(time frame: 4 months)_
- **feasibility of our implementation strategy** _(time frame: 4 months)_
