Descripción detallada
Basic Transoesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) is an essential skill in the armamentarium of an anaesthesiologist. Currently, majority of the TEE teaching is being done in the form of didactic lectures with only a few teaching centres offering simulation. TEE skill acquisition includes both technical and cognitive skills. Most of the studies done in TEE teaching have concluded that TEE simulation is an essential part of TEE skill training. The study team wanted to find out what is the best sequence of teaching to achieve the maximum skill acquisition in TEE.
In National University Hospital, Singapore, the Cardiac subdivision of anaesthesia specialists are accredited in TEE (American or European exams) and perform independent decision making in cardiac surgical theatres while the surgery is on-goingto facilitate dynamic decision making such as adequacy of valve repair, global LV function and emerging complications if any. The study team realised that TEE skills are also required for decisions beyond the cardiac surgical theaters where on the spot critical decisions making is required eg: in polytrauma and sudden unexplained hypotension or hypoxia in non-cardiac or ICU patients.
There are existing induction modules and prior teaching avenues in the department of anaesthesia such as the Cardiac Anaesthesia Simulation Training (CAST) module targeted at junior trainee's level. With initiative to equip every practicing anaesthesiologist with the vital skill of TEE image acquisition, the department of anaesthesia is launching a teaching program that is an in house training session. The study team aims to understand through this study the ideal sequence of teaching intervention to facilitate optimal learning and retention.

Periodo de tiempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Knowledge and skill increment between both groups
Periodo de tiempo: Within an hour of completion of both lecture and simulation sessions.
|
After the end of both lecture and simulation session, participants will be asked to demonstrate skill of acquisition of 11 basic views on TEE simulator within stipulated time, and will be scored by 2 independent raters.
|
Within an hour of completion of both lecture and simulation sessions.

Demographic variations in knowledge and skill acquisition
Periodo de tiempo: Within an hour of completion of both lecture and simulation sessions.
|
Identify and compare whether there are demographic variations in knowledge and skill acquisition in TEE among anaesthesiologists within each sequence of teaching and learning (i.e.
lecture followed by simulation training and simulation training followed by lecture).
This will be done through the administration of 30-question MCQ relating to TEE safety, probe manipulation and basic views in TEE, and a technical skill test.
|
Within an hour of completion of both lecture and simulation sessions.
