Brief Summary

Competence in ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) requires practitioners to acquire cognitive and technical skills. Various difficulties have been identified in anesthesia residents' learning UGRA skills. There is currently no approved UGRA curriculum for residents, and the level of UGRA proficiency achieved during residency may vary significantly. However, no specific training criteria have been defined for this block. It is important to establish criteria to evaluate the adequacy of education.

Conditions

Learning Curve; Suprainguinal Fasya Iliaca Block; Ultrasound-guided Regional Anesthesia (UGRA)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Block success

  "Additionally, to evaluate the success of the procedure more objectively, the following parameters will be assessed using a 5-point Likert scale (1: Very low, 2: Low, 3: Moderate, 4: High, 5: Very high). For the procedure to be considered successful, a score of 4 must be obtained for each parameter. These parameters include: * Placement of the ultrasound probe * Visualization of anatomical structures (muscle, bone, fascia, vessels) * Optimization of needle localization * Spread of the drug beneath the iliac fascia"

  20 minute

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Block performance time

  20 minute
