Competence Assessment for Spinal Anaesthesia
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors describe a new approach towards assessing skills of medical trainees. Based on experiences from previous projects with (i) applying virtual environments for medical training and (ii) competence assessment and personalisation in technology enhanced learning environments, a system for personalised medical training with virtual environments is built. Thus, the practical training of motor skills is connected with the user-oriented view of personalised computer-based testing and training. The results of this integration will be tested using a haptic device for training spinal anaesthesia.

Spinal Anaesthesia: Teaching and Assessment
As performance assessment in medicine moves into a competence-based era there is a need to develop procedure-specific tools for evaluating technical ability. Spinal anaesthesia is one of the fundamental skills of the practicing anaesthetist. Changes in learning opportunities for trainees over the last decade mandates a change in the way practical skills are taught and assessed. In order to opti...
متن کاملDesigning a Simulation-supported Adaptive Assessment System for Spinal Anaesthesia
This paper describes the development of a technology architecture that not only supports the technical performance assessment of a medical simulator but also facilitates a validated competence based assessment system in one selected anaesthetic procedure i.e. spinal anaesthesia. Based on extensive mapping of the competencies required for the performance of this procedure, a system architecture ...
متن کاملApplying a Web and Simulation-Based System for Adaptive Competence Assessment of Spinal Anaesthesia
The authors present an approach for implementing a system for the assessment of medical competences using a haptic simulation device. Based on Competence based Knowledge Space Theory (CbKST), information on the learners’ competences is gathered from different sources (test questions, data from the simulator, and supervising experts’ assessments). The envisaged architecture consists of three cor...
متن کاملA statistical approach to measuring the competence of anaesthetic trainees at practical procedures.
Cusum analysis is a statistical technique to distinguish deviations from an acceptable failure rate. The progress of anaesthetic trainees learning four practical procedures (obstetric extradural anaesthesia, spinal anaesthesia, central venous cannulation and arterial cannulation) was monitored from their first attempt using cusum analysis. Suitable acceptable and unacceptable failure rates for ...
متن کاملInfluence of the baricity of a local anaesthetic agent on sedation with propofol during spinal anaesthesia.
BACKGROUND This study examined the effect of different levels of spinal anaesthesia, induced by solutions of different baricity but containing the same amount of local anaesthetic agent, on the requirement for sedation with propofol. METHODS Thirty-six patients undergoing varicose vein surgery under spinal anaesthesia were randomly allocated to receive tetracaine 15 mg in 3 ml of either gluco...
