Simulation training for epidural pain relief placement
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if simulation-based training helps anesthesia residents learn to place epidural catheters for pain relief. It may be right for you if you are a resident with little experience placing epidurals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a resident in anesthesia
- You have placed fewer than 20 epidural catheters
- You have not used an epidural simulator before
- You are willing to give your informed consent

This study looks at how anesthesiology residents learn to place epidurals. It may help understand the best way to teach this skill to doctors who are just starting out.
This study tests whether using an ultrasound to guide the placement of an epidural catheter during surgery can improve success rates for patients whose spine bones are hard to feel by touch alone. If you're having elective general surgery and need an epidural for pain relief, this trial may help ensure the procedure goes smoothly.
This study watches how resident doctors place epidural catheters (thin tubes placed near the spine to deliver pain medicine) during elective surgery. Researchers track how often the procedure works and what problems might occur, to improve training.
This trial studies an approach to placing an epidural (pain medicine placed near the spine) during early labor. It aims to improve how safely and accurately epidurals are positioned, which may help with comfort during childbirth.
This trial uses simulation to help resident doctors improve their skills in anesthesia and intensive care. Participants are representatives of a special anesthesia training group.
This study tests whether practicing emergency response to postpartum hemorrhage (severe bleeding after childbirth) using realistic simulation improves how anesthesia teams work together. If you're a senior anesthesiology resident, your participation helps develop better training methods.
