An exploration of training using the CUSUM method for depicting learning curves in simulation-based training for fiberoptic bronchoscopy
支镜定位技能的300次模拟训练学习经历。采用累积和分析法(cumulative sum analysis,CUSUM)来描绘学习曲线,旨在比较受试者培训前后在首次图像显示完成时间及完成全部6个图像所需时间上的变化,并探讨初步掌握该技能所需的操作例数。使用统计分析软件R(版本4.2.2)来对数据进行分析。计量资料用(均数±标准差)表示,采用Shapiro-Wilk法进行正态性检验。若数据服从正态分布,则使用独立样本
To analyze and describe the learning curve of resident physicians in the Department of Anesthesiology during simulation-based training for positioning with fiberoptic bronchoscopy
and evaluate the improvement of skills after the simulation-based training of residents without operating experience.
Methods
2
The learning records of 300 training sessions using a simulator for bronchoscopy-based positioning were retrieved from March to May 2022 for 30 residents without experience in bronchoscopy in the Department of Anesthesiology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Cumulative sum analysis (CUSUM) was employed to depict the learning curve
aiming to compare changes in the time required to display the first image and to complete all six images before and after training
as well as to explore the number of operations necessary for the initial acquisition of this skill. Data analysis was performed using R statistical software (version 4.2.2). For quantitative data
the Shapiro-Wilk test was used to assess normality
and the data were expressed as mean
± standard deviation. If the data followed a normal distribution
an independent samples
t
-test was used for comparisons between groups. For data that followed a skewed distribution
the Mann-Whitney
U
test was employed for comparisons between groups. The learning curve was fitted using the CUSUM method. All statistical tests were two-sided with a significance level of 0.05.
Results
2
In terms of the time required for completing the first image display
after reaching the CUSUM inflection point of operation times
five subjects did not show a significant difference (
P
>
0.05). Based on the analysis of the raw data and the CUSUM curve
the observed insignificant difference may be attributed to the significant fluctuations in operating times for four individuals around the inflection point
resulting in no statistically significant differences in the operation times at the inflection point. Additionally
the fifth individual exhibited insignificant improvement following training due to relatively short learning time during the initial three to four operations. In terms of time to complete all operations
after reaching the CUSUM inflection point of operation times
four subjects did not show a significant difference (
P
>
0.05). Based on the analysis of the raw data and the CUSUM curve
the insignificant difference may be attributed to the significant fluctuations in operating times for three individuals around the inflection point
resulting in no statistically significant differences in the operation times at the inflection point. Moreover
the fourth individual exhibited insignificant improvement following training due to relatively short learning time during the initial three to four operations.
Conclusions
2
Considering the variations in the time required to complete the first image display and the overall time required to observe all six images
inexperienced anesthesiology residents can initially acquire skills in bronchoscopy after at least four operations during simulation-based training for fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
