Article Synopsis
- There is a growing need for accessible surgical simulation training in low-resource countries, prompting a pilot workshop at a new simulation center to evaluate low-cost training models.
- The workshop engaged local educators, who were trained using hybrid-fidelity simulation models created from inexpensive materials, effectively preparing them to teach essential clinical skills to anesthesiology trainees.
- Survey results indicated high satisfaction with the training models, with 100% ranking the pericardiocentesis simulator as "good" or "outstanding," highlighting the importance of collaboration to enhance surgical education in lower middle-income countries.
Background And Objectives: Inadequate pain relief after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction affects mobility leading to development of adhesions, weakened ligament insertion and muscle atrophy. Adductor canal block for postoperative analgesia preserves quadriceps strength. The present study was conducted to compare pain free period in patients undergoing arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, receiving ultrasound-guided adductor canal block with ropivacaine alone and ropivacaine with clonidine.
