This randomized controlled trial compared video-based and presentation-based self-directed instruction for teaching basic neuroangiography skills to 20 participants with varying prior experience. The study found that while the presentation group had significantly lower fluoroscopy times (237.00 s vs 369.00 s, p = 0.031), the video method was rated as more helpful and led to better outcomes for inexperienced participants in terms of successful catheterization and fewer path deviations.
Key findings
- Presentation group used significantly less fluoroscopy time (237.00 s vs 369.00 s, p = 0.031).
- Video-based training improved successful catheterization of the left vertebral artery for inexperienced participants (p = 0.048).
- Participants rated the video method as significantly more helpful overall (p = 0.022).
- Video-based instruction resulted in fewer path deviations for inexperienced participants (p = 0.048).
Why it matters
The findings suggest that video-based instruction can enhance learning outcomes in neuroangiography, particularly for beginners. This approach may improve procedural skills and confidence, which are critical in clinical practice.
