Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In National University Hospital, Singapore, the Cardiac subdivision of anaesthesia specialists are accredited in TEE (American or European exams) and perform independent decision making in cardiac surgical theatres while the surgery is on-goingto facilitate dynamic decision making such as adequacy of valve repair, global LV function and emerging complications if any. The study team realised that TEE skills are also required for decisions beyond the cardiac surgical theaters where on the spot critical decisions making is required eg: in polytrauma and sudden unexplained hypotension or hypoxia in non-cardiac or ICU patients.
There are existing induction modules and prior teaching avenues in the department of anaesthesia such as the Cardiac Anaesthesia Simulation Training (CAST) module targeted at junior trainee's level. With initiative to equip every practicing anaesthesiologist with the vital skill of TEE image acquisition, the department of anaesthesia is launching a teaching program that is an in house training session. The study team aims to understand through this study the ideal sequence of teaching intervention to facilitate optimal learning and retention.

RANDOMIZED
CROSSOVER
Prior to the teaching session (lecture or simulation), the participants will take a MCQ pre-test with 30 questions relating to TEE safety, probe manipulation and basic views in TEE. There is no pre-test on technical skill, as all of them are novices to TEE (i.e. with no skill on TEE). A post-test consisting of 30 MCQs (same as pre-test but in a different sequence) and a technical skill test is held at the completion of both lecture and simulation sessions.
