AI training sharpens needle skills for future anesthesiologists
NCT ID NCT07385885
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a new, non-invasive AI-assisted simulation training helps anesthesia residents improve their ultrasound-guided needle skills. Thirty residents will be randomly assigned to either the new simulation training or standard teaching. The main goal is to see if the new method helps them see the needle tip more clearly during procedures.
