Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Computerized training system for ultrasound-guided lumbar puncture on abnormal spine models: a randomized controlled trial.
A randomized controlled trial was carried out to determine whether Perk Tutor, a computerized training platform that displays an ultrasound image and real-time needle position in a three-dimensional (3D) anatomical model, would benefit residents learning ultrasound-guided lumbar puncture (LP) in simulation phantoms with abnormal spinal anatomy. ⋯ Residents trained with augmented reality 3D visualization had better performance metrics on ultrasound-guided LP in pathological spine models.
