Application of two different out-of-plane ultrasound-guided needling techniques / 临床麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare simulated training of "45° tilting insertion" and the "dynamic scan" needling under B ultrasound.Methods Fifty volunteer residents and visiting physicians worked in the anesthesiology department in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were recruited to attend the simulated needling training.The insertion time,insertion attempts until success,numbers of success while advancing the needle and numbers of needle tip visible upon success were re corded.The degree of difficulty and safety of the techniques,the confidence of performing the techniques,the clinical usefulness of the techniques and the training effect were evaluated among the volunteers.Results There were no differences in the insertion time,numbers of successful insertion while advancing the needle and numbers of needle tip visible upon success between the two techniques.Compared with "45° tilting insertion" technique,"dynamic scan" resulted in less needle redirection times and a higher first-attempt successful rate,and got higher scores in terms of difficulty and safety (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The confidence scores of performing the two technique were similar.20 (40％) volunteers chose to use "dynamic scan",8 (16％) chose to use "45° tilting insertion" and 22 (440％) chose to use both technique in their clinical work.100％ of them considered the training was greatly helpful or helpful.Conclusion The technique of "dynamic scan" produced a higher first-attempt successful rate and was easier and safer than "45° angle insertion".The combination of the two techniques might be a new technique that is worth trying.
