“…This was similar to what Kulcsar and colleagues 14 found in their study, where more than 90% of anesthesia trainers and trainees identified computer technology as a useful aid for learning spinal anesthesia and expressed a need to visually learn the procedure before actually performing it. The efficacy of online simulation training in anesthesiology tasks is also supported by Vegas et al, 15 who reported a significant improvement in knowledge with their online simulator designed to teach transesophageal echo imaging. Indeed, the use of online resources for health care education is growing.…”

“…Jerath and his colleagues reported a significant improvement in TEE learning for 10 trainees using this system [9]. Jerath's study suggested that Virtual TEE was a useful adjunctive tool for learning TEE [17] without hand-on experience Moreover, this team also found that 1 hour training using the virtual TTE simulation is essential for improving the knowledge of navigation among the 20 standard views for the trainees [18]. However, limited number of participants in both studies and no control group may not precisely validate if virtual TEE system can replace traditional TEE methods for training purpose Another prospective randomized study was reported to evaluate the effects of Virtual TEE and simulation-based training on TEE learning for anesthetic trainees [19].…”

“…It has been reported that simulator training compared with traditional methods could enhance resident performance in transesophageal echocardiography [13,[16][17][18]. However, there have been no previous reports to compare the efficiency among different simulator training modes.…”

Objective: This study was designed to compare the efficacy of simulator-based VRSim TEE training system and web-based virtual TEE program in training anesthetic residents.Methods: 28 second-year anesthetic trainees with no record of TEE experience were randomly assigned to two groups: simulator group and e-learning group. The simulator group undertaken training via simulator-based VRSim TEE training system. In contrast, e-learning group received training via web-based virtual TEE training program. At the end of the training, all participants were examined aiming to find if there is a difference between these two training systems and which is better for use in training future anesthetic Resident.Results: Average scores in the final exam were compared for the two groups using two independent samples ttest accepting a p<0.05. Anesthetic resident in simulation group received scores an average of 63.75 ± 3.96, which was significant high comparing to the e-learning group (46.61 ± 2.67). Conclusion:This study suggests that simulator-based VRSim TEE training is more effective in training anesthetic residents in understanding TEE imaging and manipulation of the TEE probe compared to the web-based TEE modules alone.
