SKILL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING AMONGST ANAESTHESIOLOGY RESIDENTS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SIMULATION BASED TRAINING WITH TRADITIONAL LECTURE BASED TRAINING USING OSCE AS ASSESSMENT TOOL

Abstract :

The aims of this study were to conduct an observational study to compare the efficacy of skill development using Simulation based skill training with traditional lecture based training amongst anaesthesiology residents. Materials and methods : Thirty two residents pursuing a post graduate degree course in Anaesthesiology were divided into two similar groups using a block randomization technique to receive training by either a lecture and instructor demonstration method or by the simulation based training. They were then assessed for skill development on a scale of 10 by the OSCE method. Results : The performance of students receiving training by the simulation method of training had better scores for complex procedures with no critical steps being missed while the number of critical steps missed were significantly higher in the traditional method of training
