Resident performance in basic perioperative transesophageal echocardiography

摘要

Background:Training in transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is based on hands-on training in the operating room, which is time consuming and therefore limits its experience among anesthesiologists. Medical simulations have been successfully used for training of invasive procedures in many areas.This paper compares the difference in effectiveness of teaching the 11 basic TEE views using either e-learning, simulation based training or hands-on training in the operating room in 3 groups of residents.
