Rapid-cycle deliberate practice with an ex vivo porcine model of intussusception improves radiology residents' competence in air enema reduction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Air enema reduction is the primary non-surgical intervention for pediatric intussusception. The aim of this study was to determine if rapid-cycle deliberate practice (RCDP) with an ex vivo model of intussusception is more effective than traditional teaching methods (TTM) for improving radiology residents' air enema reduction competency.

Methods

In this randomized controlled trial, 24 radiology residents were assigned to training with an ex vivo model of intussusception combined with RCDP (the RCDP group, n = 12) or without RCDP (the TTM group, n = 12). Both groups underwent assessments of theoretical knowledge and practical skills before and after training in air enema reduction, followed by evaluation of indicators of competency. Satisfaction with training and se
