Here are four insights:
1. For the study, researchers recruited and enrolled practicing anesthesiologists to participate in a one-day program. These anesthesiologists did not have previous training in ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia.
2. Thirty-two participants were enrolled and completed the program.
3. Twelve of 26 participants without previous experience performed at least one perineural catheter insertion after training.
4. However, there were no differences in the monthly average number of procedures or complications after the course when compared to baseline.
