“…32 Another 2 studies promote the supervised scanning of live models as a valuable tool to learning relevant sonoanatomy in advance of the performance of UGRA. 28,29 Program Design and Evaluation [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] There are many expert opinion articles regarding the subject of program design, but few publications detail the components of the program and trainee assessment. Smith et al 33 describe the move from an apprenticeship model to a learner-centered training model for the teaching of regional anesthesia at their institution.…”

A scoping review was performed to assess published evidence regarding how best to teach ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA). The literature search yielded 205 articles, of which 35 met the inclusion criteria. Current literature on the topic can be divided into 3 main themes: the development of motor skills, learning and teaching sonoanatomy, and understanding of the requirements for establishing a UGRA education program and evaluation. We discuss the current status and future direction of research on UGRA training.

“…Esta afirmación puede hacerse extensiva al manejo de muchas situaciones complejas que atraviesan toda la medicina (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). La mayoría de los simuladores que se han desarrollado han sido tecnologías costosas y algunos investigadores han desarrollado "alternativas caseras" (22)(23)(24)(25). El estudio de Hamstra, publicado en Reg Anesth Pain Med, ha demostrado que con los modelos de baja fidelidad se han logrado buenos scores de performance y cheklist similares a los modelos de alta fidelidad (26)(27)(28).…”

Rev Soc Esp Dolor 2016; 23(2): 105-114Recibido: 2-4-2015.Aceptado: 4-6-2015.Flores JC. Nuevo simulador híbrido cadavérico/sintéti-co para la enseñanza de técnicas intervencionistas para tratamiento del dolor refractario. Rev Soc Esp Dolor 2016;23(2):105-114. ABSTRACTThis paper introduces a new simulator to be used in the training and evaluation of interventional techniques under fluoroscopic visualization in pain medicine, apt for repeating the most broadly used procedures in the head and neck, trunk, lumbosacral region and pelvis. This simulator is built using cadaveric bones in synthetic transparent material for training in nerve block procedures under combined ultrasonic and fluoroscopic guidance.The "New Hybrid Simulator" comprises the use of cadaveric bones surrounded by synthetic material resembling human models in a highly realistic manner. The trainees that attended the workshops during 2014 expressed a high degree of satisfaction when comparing this model to practicing on real patients, fresh cadavers and synthetic simulators. The salient features of this development are: repeating the procedures as many times as necessary for each trainee to meet the minimum requirements and reduce the number and type of potential errors in each technique; conducting appropriate training for certification purposes; facilitating the evaluation of efficacy of training using these models as compared to training on real patients or other modalities (simulators or fresh cadavers); improving accessibility given its low cost, thus avoiding the complexity involved in the preservation of tissues and finally, in the author's opinion reducing the learning curve in a safe setting for patients, trainees, trainers and for the healthcare and university systems at large. Key words:Simulators in pain medicine, hybrid simulators in pain medicine, simulation and certification, simulation and safety. RESUMENSe presenta un nuevo simulador para el entrenamiento y evaluación de técnicas intervencionistas bajo visión fluoroscópica en medicina del dolor que permite realizar los procedimientos más utilizados a nivel de cabeza y cuello, tronco, región lumbosacra y pelvis. En el trabajo se desarrolló una inclusión de material óseo cadavérico en material sintético versión no transparente color piel y transparente para entrenamiento en bloqueos bajo visión ecográfica y fluoroscópica combinados.El Nuevo Simulador Híbrido se basó en la inclusión artesanal de material óseo cadavérico dentro de un tejido de material sintético emulando, con elevado realismo, el modelo humano. En la experiencia de los educandos que realizaron los talleres durante el año 2014 expresaron alta satisfacción comparando a pacientes reales, cadáveres frescos y simuladores sintéticos. Este desarrollo permite, como características principales: a) repetir cada procedimiento las veces necesarias para que cada educando alcance un estándar mínimo exigible y disminuya el número y tipo de errores posibles propios de cada técnica; b) entrenar adecuadamente para los procesos de certific...
