Simulation-Based Team Training for Management of Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST) in Non-Anesthesiologist Surgical Residents

Overview

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of a simulation-based multidisciplinary team training program on the management of Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST) among non-anesthesiologist surgical residents. Guided by Kirkpatrick's evaluation model, the study investigates improvements in knowledge, technical and non-technical skills, and the retention of these competencies one month after training

Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of regional anesthesia. Advances in ultrasound-guided blocks have reduced its incidence, yet LAST remains a major concern due to severe cardiovascular and neurological risks. The American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA) recommends early lipid emulsion therapy and emphasizes proper training. Simulation-based multidisciplinary training provides a dynamic and immersive experience, improving both technical and behavioral skills. This trial applies Kirkpatrick's four-level model (reaction, learning, behavior, results) to assess the training program. Primary endpoint: improvement in knowledge test scores. Secondary endpoints: OSCE performance, satisfaction, and key performance indicators related to simulated LAST management.
