Brief Summary

This study will evaluate whether eye-tracking assisted teaching (EMME, Eye Movement Modeling Examples) changes the visual patterns and improve the inexperienced trainee's performance in executing an epidural block on an epidural simulator.

Conditions

Simulation Training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Eye Fixations Numbers

  Duration (seconds) of fixations for each area of interest and for each phase will be examined. Fixations are represented as discrete samples of almost stable points where the eye is looking. Their duration is the elapsed time between the start of the first fixation on the AOI until the end of the last fixation on the AOI. The duration of fixations for each area of interest and for each phase will be examined.

  up to 10 minutes

• Eye Fixation duration

  The number of fixations for each area of interest and for each phase will be examined. Fixations are represented as discrete samples of almost stable points where the eye is looking. The number of fixations for each area of interest and for each phase will be examined.

  up to 10 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Epidural attempt

  up to 10 minutes

• Duration of the epidural procedure

  up to 30 minutes

Study Arms (2)
