Acquisition of technical skills in ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia using a high-fidelity simulator.

Despite the increasing popularity of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA), structured training programs during residency are often lacking. The lack of a regional block area, lack of expertise, and lack of structured training programs have limited hands-on experience in residency programs. However, these constraints may be circumvented through the use of simulation. This observational study looked at the use of a high-fidelity simulator …
