Implementation and Evaluation of a Perceptual Learning Module on Visual Estimation of LVEF

Canada52 participantsStarted 2018-07-06

Plain-language summary

This study is designed to: 1. Implement a Web platform intended to host perceptual learning modules (PLMs) 2. Implement and assess a PLM designed to improve the capacity of first-year residents and fourth-year medical students to visually estimate the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) images. The hypothesis of the study is that the PLM will improve the visual assessment of LVEF by TEE in junior residents and medical students.

Inclusion Criteria: * Residents in their first year of training or fourth-year medical students having access to a computer with a high speed internet connection * Residents or medical students with no significant experience in echocardiography Exclusion Criteria: * Smartphones and tablets will not be acceptable to perform the tests due to their smaller screens * Residents or medical students having significant experience with transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiography

What they're measuring

Change in accuracy of LVEF estimation in the Control group versus the PLM group

Timeframe: At baseline (pretest) and on the immediate posttest
