Hands-on Simulation Workshop for Obstetric Ultrasound-Guided Invasive Procedures.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Due to the introduction of cell-free DNA genetic testing options, the number of clinical ultrasound procedures has greatly diminished in recent years. With fewer real-life ultrasound-guided procedures being performed, it is difficult for OB/GYN and maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) trainees to achieve competency in doing them. Simulation can be utilized to address this issue and supplement a learner's real-life training.

Methods

We developed a simulation workshop incorporating previously described ultrasound guidance task trainers and simulators of amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling. The workshop had three parts: needle guidance basics, targeting task performance, and procedure-specific simulation. A form of this workshop has been held at the annual meeting
