Interventions/Control_1

Investigator will take informed consent from participants by oral agreement. Then participants will complete the questionnaires both before and after simulation training. Training for endoscopic hemostasis will be provided using bleeding ulcer models attaching with antrum and body of stomach. This model has been developed by the investigators and Denka corporation. Investigator will msure time of procedure and also give appropriate technical feedback to trainee.

Results

The hemostasis success rate of the trainees significantly increased after instruction (64% vs. 86%, P < 0.05). The success rate for ulcers in the upper body of the stomach (59%), a high-difficulty site, was significantly lower than that for ulcers in the antrum, even after feedback and instruction. Trainee self-perceived proficiency and confidence significantly improved after simulation-based training (P < 0.05).

Baseline Characteristics

Study design and participants
This prospective educational study recruited 50 gastroenterology residents from tertiary referral university hospitals in Japan and Canada between February 2019 and August 2020. Only gastroenterology trainees were considered for inclusion. Medical students, junior residents, and trainees who did not consent were excluded from the study.

Participant flow

After providing informed consent, trainees completed questionnaires before and after training, which assessed their confidence in performing hemostatic procedures and the effectiveness of the training. We created a mechanical simulator for endoscopic hemostasis (Medical Rising STAR -Ulcer type). Briefly, the ulcer model made of an elastomer resembling human mucosal elasticity could reproduce spurting bleeding from selected artificial vessels, and ulcers could be installed anywhere in the stomach lumen, which was designed based on human data. For this program, we used two bleeding gastrointestinal ulcers for each trainee: one placed on the greater curvature in the antrum of the stomach and one on the upper body of the posterior wall of the stomach. At least two expert endoscopists supported each trainee during the training. First, trainees attempted endoscopic hemostasis of the first vessel (A-1) of the antral ulcer without any feedback. Trainees could try up to three clips for a maximum of 15 minutes for each vessel. Time measurement started when the trainee recognized the ulcer lesion on the monitor. After completing the first trial without technical instruction, the expert endoscopists provided feedback and tips to the trainees, including tips regarding maintaining an appropriate view and distance from the ulcer, stabilizing the endoscope in position, and how to grasp an exposed vessel with a hemostatic clip.

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
We aimed to perform a comprehensive evaluation of the efficacy including both objective measures of skill improvement and subjective measures of confidence enhancement. Our primary outcome was to evaluate the efficacy of the training program using our novel simulation model. To assess this, we compared the success rates of hemostasis for antral ulcer bleeding before A1 and after A2 instructions. Success was achieved when proper vessel grasping and hemostasis were accomplished within three clips and 15 minutes per vessel. Failure was defined as the inability to achieve hemostasis with three clips or if the procedure time exceeded 15 minutes per vessel. We also compared trainee self-confidence and subjective evaluation of their skills using a Visual Analog Scale before and after training.

The secondary outcome was to identify factors related to the difficulty of upper gastrointestinal endoscopic hemostasis and to evaluate how well this model reproduces the challenges encountered in clinical settings. To evaluate this, we compared the success rates of hemostasis for antral ulcers after instruction A2 and ulcers in the posterior wall of the upper body of the stomach B1, thus assessing the reproducibility of site-dependent difficulty within the model.

The results of the simulator learning effectiveness for resident physicians were presented in an oral presentation at the American Gastroenterological Association Week (DDW2021) and a paper is being prepared. We have also completed additional recruitment of non-gastroenterologists. The integrated results are also being analyzed and a paper is being prepared.
