Subclaims¶

q2 i? Farjad Sultan et al. found feedback on the procedural skill was superior to feedback on results for skill acquisition. → Sekhavati P 2025 q2 i? Lerman et al. found LED light and piezoelectric buzzer feedback were superior to voice feedback and no feedback for visualising and reaching the simulated target nerve. → Sekhavati P 2025 (2)

Evidence¶

Sekhavati P 2025¶

Sekhavati P, Wild T, Martinez IDPC, Dion PM, Woo M, Ramlogan R, Boet S, Shorr R, Gu Y. (2025). Instructional design features in ultrasound‐guided regional anaesthesia simulation‐based training: a systematic review. Anaesthesia. https://doi.org/10.1111/anae.16527

q2 · i? · review · r3

The review reports, citing Farjad Sultan et al., that "providing feedback on the procedural skill" was "superior to feedback on the results" for skill acquisition.

"Farjad Sultan et al. found that for skill acquisition, providing feedback on the procedural skill (involving identification and correction of errors and advice on how to avoid them) was superior to feedback on the results (involving imaging, needling, performance time and number of needle passes) [57]."
