PROgressive struCturEd Simulation-based Surgical Training Program (PROCESS) - Open Vascular Surgery

Sponsor: Fundación Cardioinfantil Instituto de Cardiología

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

A triple-arm, randomized, simple-blinded clinical trial will be conducted. A control sequence and an intervention sequence of three subgroups with different exposure levels to the simulation program are proposed. Group 1: open abdominal aortic repair (AAOR), Group 2: vascular anastomosis (VA) and AAOR, and Group 3: specific micro-surgical skills, VA and AAOR. Surgical residents of general, vascular, or cardiovascular surgery programs will be included. Sample size calculation resulted in 45 participants, 15 in each group. Simple blinding will involve external evaluators. Randomization will occur as a simple randomization.

Progression and structured surgical training.

Participants will be exposed to different amounts of open vascular surgical training, but only group I will receive the complete structured and progressive training program. This ensures that all participants have access to the potential benefits derived from the intervention. Current evidence supports this approach, which supports the benefits of medical simulation in the training process of surgical residents.
