p-value: p=<0.05
Epidural anesthesia is the most difficult manual skill for first-year anesthesiology residents to learn compared to other common procedures.
Konrad et al. (1998) conducted an observational in Learning manual anesthesiological skills (n=11). Performance of typical anesthetic procedures vs. Comparison between different procedures was evaluated on Rate of success or failure when applying manual anesthesiological skills (p=<0.05). Epidural anesthesia was the most difficult manual skill for first-year residents to perform compared to tracheal intubation, arterial line insertion, and brachial plexus block (P<0.05).
