Independent spinal anesthesia skill assessment may be warranted in residents; leaves open impact on clinical outcomes.
Does performance on a Spinal Anesthesia Skill Test correlate with performance on a related knowledge test in anesthesia residents?
Clinical motor skills in spinal anesthesia do not correlate with written knowledge test scores among anesthesia residents, suggesting the need for independent objective assessment of motor skills.
Sivarajan et al. (1984) studied this question.
