- ItemAssessment of central venous catheterization in a simulated model using a motion-tracking device: an experimental validation study(2016) Varas, Julián; Achurra Tirado, Pablo; León, Felipe.; Castillo, Richard.; De La Fuente, Natalia.; Aggarwal, Rajesh.; Clede, Leticia.; Bravo, María P.; Corvetto Aqueveque, Marcia Antonia; Montaña Rodríguez, RodrigoAbstract Background Central venous catheterization (CVC) is a basic requirement for many medical specialties. Simulated training in CVC may allow the acquisition of this competency but few reports have established a valid methodology for learning and acquiring procedural skills for CVC. This study aims to validate the use of a tracking motion device, the imperial college surgical assessment device (ICSAD), by comparing it with validated global rating scales (GRS) to measure CVC performance in a simulated torso. Methods Senior year medical students, first and last year residents (PGY1, LYR), and expert anesthesiologists performed a jugular CVC assessment in a simulated model (Laerdal IV Torso). A validated GRS for objective assessment of technical skills and motion analysis by ICSAD was used. Statistical analysis was performed through Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests for construct validity and Spearman correlation coefficients between the ICSAD and GRS scores for concurrent validity between both. Results 32 subjects were recruited (10 medical students, 8 PGY1, 8 LYR and 8 experts). Total path length measured with ICSAD and GRS scores were significantly different between all groups, except for LYR compared to experts (p = 0.664 for GRS and p = 0.72 for ICSAD). Regarding jugular CVC procedural time, LYR and experts were faster than PGY1 and MS (p < 0.05). Spearman correlation coefficient was −0.684 (p < 0.001) between ICSAD and GRS scores. Conclusions ICSAD is a valid tool for assessment of jugular CVC since it differentiates between expert and novice subjects, and correlates with a validated GRS for jugular CVC in a simulated torso.Abstract Background Central venous catheterization (CVC) is a basic requirement for many medical specialties.

- ItemBringing clinical simulation into an Anesthesia residency training program in a university hospital. Participants' acceptability assessment(2013) Corvetto Aqueveque, Marcia Antonia; Bravo, M. P.; Montana, R. A.; Altermatt Couratier, Fernando René; Delfino, AlejandroIntroduction Clinical simulation is currently an integral part of the curriculum of the Anesthesiology residency programs in other countries. We aimed to describe and evaluate the insertion of simulation in an anesthesia residency training program. Methods Activities feasible to be used for training in a simulated environment were classified into 2 modules: workshops for technical skills conducted with first year residents, and high fidelity simulation scenarios performed with second and third year residents. After each activity, and using an anonymous questionnaire, residents assessed their satisfaction and objectives accomplished. Results A total of 18 activities: 6 skills workshops and 12 high fidelity scenarios were assessed. A total of 206 questionnaires were analyzed, corresponding to 41 residents. Almost all (96%) of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that workshops met the objectives and should be mandatory in the anesthesia curriculum; however, 11% agreed that the activity caused anxiety and/or nervousness. The high fidelity scenarios were considered realistic and consistent with the objectives by 97% of residents, and 42% felt that workshops caused anxiety and/or nervousness. Conclusions The inclusion of simulation has been well accepted by the residents. The activities have been described as realistic, and limited to the objectives, essential points in adult education, as according to Kolb's learning model this is associated with profound, useful and long lasting knowledge.Introduction Clinical simulation is currently an integral part of the curriculum of the Anesthesiology residency programs in other countries.

- ItemComparison of Continuous Popliteal Nerve Blocks Using Lidocaine versus Bupivacaine Infusions for Ambulatory Foot Surgery: A Randomized, Double-blind, Noninferiority Trial(2023) Echevarría, Ghislaine; Altermatt Couratier, Fernando René; Miranda Hiriart, Pablo; Araneda Vilches, Andrea Lucía; Corvetto Aqueveque, Marcia Antonia; De La Fuente Sanhueza, René Francisco; Cuadra F., Juan Carlos de laBackground and objectives: Continuous sciatic popliteal nerve block effectivelymanages pain after ankle and foot surgery. Most studies on continuous infusionof local anesthetics by perineural catheters have been made with bupivacaine,levobupivacaine, and ropivacaine, but lidocaine has not been used. The mainobjective of this study was to compare the quality of analgesia, motor function,and side effects between lidocaine and bupivacaine infusions in bilateralcontinuous popliteal nerve blocks for foot surgery.Methods: This was a prospective, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group,noninferiority study. We enrolled 70 patients undergoing bilateral foot or anklesurgery that could be performed under general anesthesia and continuous regionalanalgesia using sciatic popliteal nerve blocks. During their postoperative care, theywere randomized into 2 groups: group lidocaine (lidocaine 0.5%, 5 ml/h) or groupbupivacaine (bupivacaine 0.1%, 5 ml/h), administered through elastomeric pumps.The primary outcome was pain at 24 h after surgery, assessed by a verbal numericrating scale (ranging from 0 to 10). A pre-specified non-inferiority margin of 1.5 wasdefined. Secondary outcomes were the degree of motor and sensitive block, totalopioid use, and difficulties with pump or catheter management.Results: The mean postoperative pain at 24 h of surgery was 2.06 (95% bootstrapconfidence interval bCI 1.29, 2.83) and 1.82 (95% bCI 1.02, 2.62) in the lidocaineand bupivacaine group, respectively. The upper limit of the 95% bCI for the meandifference between lidocaine and bupivacaine was 0.82, declaring non-inferiority.No differences in the postoperative rescue analgesia use and satisfaction withcare were found. No differences in postoperative NRS, sensory block and motorblock were seen between groups.Conclusions: Lidocaine 0.5% and bupivacaine 0.1% provide similar postoperativeanalgesia through a sciatic popliteal catheter in ambulatory bilateral foot surgery patients.

- ItemEffectiveness of a Train the Trainers course for digital feedback in healthcare simulation via a remote and asynchronous learning program(2024) Montero Jaras, Isabella; Durán Espinoza, Valentina Alexandra; Miguieles Schilling, Mariana Andrea; Belmar Riveros, Francisca Andrea; Figueroa Fernández, Ursula Victoria; Brandon Valencia Coronel; Wiseman Jeffrey; Jarry Trujillo, Cristián Ignacio; Gabriel Escalona Vives; Villagran Gutiérrez, Ignacio Andrés; Corvetto Aqueveque, Marcia Antonia; Varas Cohen, Julián EmanuelIntroduction With a growing demand for tutoring in medical education, the need for Train the Trainers courses have increased. These courses can be difficult to coordinate between trainer and trainee (trainers in training). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a digital remote and asynchronous (RA) Train the Trainers (TTT) course compared to an in-person (IP) course. Methods In this quasi-experimental study, we compared an in-person TTT course with a remote and asynchronous TTT course. The course involved theoretical and practical components, and upon completion, the trainees transitioned into instructor roles where they provided feedback on video recordings of third-year medical students performing simulated procedures. Performance of the third-year medical students was analyzed, comparing global rating scores. Data analysis was performed using non-parametric tests considering statistical significance p < 0.05. Results A total of 108 trainers-in-training completed the TTT course; 30 IP and 78 RA. They assessed 1,016 videos. The first attempt score was 17 (14–20) and 19 (15–22) in IP and RA training, respectively with statistically significant differences (p-value = 0.041). On the second attempt, scores were 23 (20–24) and 23 (20–24) in IP and RA training, respectively. This difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion The implementation of a remote and asynchronous TTT course yielded comparable results to the traditional in-person method. This new learning modality facilitated increased platform inputs, saw higher first-attempt scores in students, and did not adversely impact their final competency outcomes.

- ItemPráctica de la anestesia regional en Chile: encuesta online.(2010) Corvetto Aqueveque, Marcia Antonia; McCready, M.; Cook, C.; Pietrobon, R.; Altermatt Couratier, Fernando RenéOBJECTIVE: To conduct a survey to profile the practice of regional anesthesia in Chile and determine the limitations on its use. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A link to an online questionnaire was sent by e-mail to anesthesiologists who were members of their national professional association (Sociedad Chilena de Anestesiologia). The survey was processed anonymously. Multiple choice items elicited responses concerning general demographic information, professional experience as an anesthetist, academic degree, hospital size, and the use of regional anesthesia in clinical practice (number of procedures and types of techniques). Finally, the questionnaire focused on the use of nerve and plexus blocks. RESULTS: A total of 209 completed questionnaires were received, for a response rate of 54%. Regional anesthesia was part of routine practice for 97% of the respondents; 68% reported that regional techniques were used in more than 30% of their caseload. Most performed neuraxial techniques: 98.1% were spinal blocks, 96.2% lumbar epidural blocks, and 66.9% thoracic epidural blocks. Routine use of peripheral nerve blockade was reported by 73.7%. Upper limb anesthesia was provided significantly more often than lower limb anesthesia (P =.011). The most common technique involved use of a peripheral nerve stimulator (64%). Skills were mainly acquired through residency programs (68.9%) and self-teaching (20.1%). Peripheral nerve blocks were never performed by 26.3% of the respondents; the reason given most often was lack of training. CONCLUSIONS: Although regional anesthesia is commonly used in Chile, neuraxial blocks remain the most frequently used types. Peripheral nerve blocks are used fairly often, mostly on an upper limb. Training should stimulate attempts to promote more widespread use of all forms of regional anesthesia.
- ItemRemote, asynchronous training and feedback enables development of neurodynamic skills in physiotherapy students(2023) Villagrán Gutiérrez, Ignacio Andrés; Rammsy, Francisca; Del Valle, Javiera; Gregorio De Las Heras Moreau, Sofia Ignacia; Pozo, Liliana; García, Patricio; Torres, Gustavo; Varas Cohen, Julián; Mandrusiak, Allison; Corvetto Aqueveque, Marcia Antonia; Fuentes-Cimma, JavieraDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, face-to-face teaching and learning of physiotherapy practical skills was limited. Asynchronous, remote training has been effective in development of clinical skills in some health professions. This study aimed to determine the effect of remote, asynchronous training and feedback on development of neurodynamic skills in physiotherapy students. Methods Longitudinal repeated measurements study, across four training sessions. Participants engaged in a remote training program for development of upper limb neurodynamic techniques. In this sequential training, participants viewed the online tutorial, practiced independently, and uploaded a video of their performance for formative assessment and feedback from a trained instructor via a checklist and rubric. Results Intra-subject analyses of 60 third-year physiotherapy students showed that the target standard of performance, with no further significant change in scores, was attained following session 2 for the checklist and session 3 for the rubric. This shows that two sessions are required to learn the procedures, and three sessions yield further improvements in performance quality. Conclusion The remote, asynchronous training and feedback model proved to be an effective strategy for students’ development of neurodynamic testing skills and forms a viable alternative to in-person training. This study contributes to the future of acquiring physiotherapy clinical competencies when distance or hybrid practice is required.

- ItemSimulación en Anestesiología(2013) Clede-Belforti, L.; Nazar Jara, Claudio; Montaña Rodríguez, Rodrigo; Corvetto Aqueveque, Marcia AntoniaTraining in anaesthesia relies on the duration and quality of clinical experience. It involves exposure to a range of interventions. This works well in routine cases, but when an uncommon and life-threatening event occurs, the anaesthetist needs to carry out multiple tasks simultaneously. Aviation has remarkable similarities with the practice of anaesthesia. Over the years, the aviation industry has used simulation to train and assess individuals very effectively. Anaesthetists face rapidly evolving clinical situations. This needs appropriate decision-making and communication with others in the theatre team. Simulation, using current technology, offers innovative and reproducible training experience. It enables standardised scenario building and reflective learning. Various non-technical aspects of an anaesthetist's day-to-day work could also be addressed to during such training. The technology could be used very effectively for the assessment of competence too. Simulation has been used for technology development and appraisal over the years.
