Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Arm-A

Randomized 15 residents out of 30 Post Graduate Year 1 or 2 anesthesia residents (not involved in initial Virtual Reality testing) will be receive Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity simulation training by Virtual Reality simulation

experimental: Arm-B

Randomized other 15 residents out of 30 Post Graduate Year 1 or 2 anesthesia residents (not involved in initial Virtual Reality testing) will be receive Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity simulation training by mannequin based simulation

Interventions

Training by Virtual Reality Simulation

Those Randomized 15 residents will be receive Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity simulation training by Virtual Reality simulation and after two weeks, they will be evaluated by investigators by using the same performance evaluation tool.

Training by Mannequin Based Simulation

Randomized other 15 residents will be receive Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity simulation training by mannequin based simulation and after two weeks, they will be evaluated by investigators by using the same performance evaluation tool.

Primary outcome measure

  • Number of tasks correctly performed [ Time Frame: 1 hour ]
