Identify the 4 relevant structures represented at a point in the axilla |
Number of structures correctly identified |
All four structures identified |
2
|
Follow the course of two of these structures (median and ulnar nerves) from axilla towards the elbow, while keeping the structures in the centre of the virtual ultrasound screen |
The amount (%) of the structure represented in the middle of the virtual ultrasound as a proportion of the total length of the structure (from axilla to elbow) (out of 100%) |
Mean expert performance |
3
|
Advance a virtual needle towards a specified target (median nerve) keeping the needle in plane during advancement |
The proportion (%) of needle advancement which occurred "in plane" as a proportion of the total distance the needle tip advanced in the virtual arm |
Mean expert performance |
4
|
Trigger a virtual injectate at an appropriate distance from the target. |
The distance from the needle tip to the target structure when injection triggered |
Injection at a distance not less than the mean expert minimum distance and not more than the mean expert maximum distance. Needle tip must also be visualized at the time of triggering. |
