Subclaims¶

q3 i? Feedback improved balloon placement accuracy (p=0.041) and resulted in a smoother learning curve and earlier plateau in performance in simulated renal artery angioplasty. → Trehan Abhishek 2015

Trehan Abhishek 2015¶

Trehan Abhishek, Barnett-Vanes Ashton, Carty Matthew J, McCulloch Peter, Maruthappu Mahiben. (2015). The impact of feedback of intraoperative technical performance in surgery: a systematic review. BMJ Open. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4480038/

q3 · i? · review · r3

Three-armed RCT by Boyle et al in simulated renal artery angioplasty with 18 surgeons, six cases per surgeon, assessing procedure-specific outcomes including contrast volume, fluoroscopic time, balloon placement accuracy, residual stenosis and lesion coverage. Balloon placement accuracy improved significantly in the feedback group.

"balloon placement accuracy was shown to be significantly improved in those receiving feedback (p=0.041)"
