Impact Assessment of Simulation-Based Education on Anesthesiology Trainee in Ultrasound-Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Using an Anesthetized Porcine Model

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of simulation based practice on anesthesiology trainee in ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane(TAP) block using an anesthetized porcine model.

The residents filled out a questionnaire before and after the training session. The questionnaires consisted of knowledge including ultrasound anatomy and block technique, comfort, confidence, and axiety levels for the TAP block.
