This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of a simulation-based multidisciplinary team training program on the management of Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST) among non-anesthesiologist surgical residents. Guided by Kirkpatrick's evaluation model, the study investigates improvements in knowledge, technical and non-technical skills, and the retention of these competencies one month after training
Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of regional anesthesia. Advances in ultrasound-guided blocks have reduced its incidence, yet LAST remains a major concern due to severe cardiovascular and neurological risks. The American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA) recommends early lipid emulsion therapy and emphasizes proper training. Simulation-based multidisciplinary training provides a dynamic and immersive experience, improving both technical and behavioral skills. This trial applies Kirkpatrick's four-level model (reaction, learning, behavior, results) to assess the training program. Primary endpoint: improvement in knowledge test scores. Secondary endpoints: OSCE performance, satisfaction, and key performance indicators related to simulated LAST management.

| Structured Training Group | Experimental | Experimental: Structured Training Group - Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST) pretest application, then Kirkpatrick-based program (2-3 hours; theoretical + simulation/OSCE). Includes theoretical (pathophysiology, risk factors, prevention, lipid therapy algorithm) and practical modules (simulation scenario, OSCE checklist, structured feedback). Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST) lasttest application It is assumed that a higher test score indicates a higher level of knowledge on the topic. |
