Despite its clinical benefits and high maternal satisfaction, the procedure remains technically challenging, particularly for anesthesia residents. In our institution, around 40% of laboring women request epidural analgesia.\n\nSuccessful epidural placement requires mastering a complex skillset. Recent studies highlight that simulation-based training significantly enhances learning for novice practitioners. This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate whether a pre-rotation simulator-based training improves the success rate of epidural catheter placement among anesthesia residents.\n\nParticipants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group (simulation training plus anatomy lecture) or the control group (standard in vivo training only). The primary outcome is the number of successful catheter placements (defined as completed procedure without tutor intervention). Secondary outcomes include procedure time, complication rates, and satisfaction scores from the residents. The study will involve anesthesia residents in their 4th or 5th year rotating in the labor ward of the Azienda Ospedaliera di Padova. A sample size of 86 participants (43 per group) is required, and data collection will occur over three years.",[80,81,82],"Epidural Analgesia","Medical Education","Obstetric Anesthesia",[84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91],"Epidural analgesia","Obstetric anesthesia","Epidural catheter placement","Simulation training","Medical education","Obstetric simulation","Anesthesia training","Technical skills","2025-09-12",{"date":94,"type":95},"2025-09-15","ACTUAL",{"date":92,"type":95},{"date":98,"type":74},"2027-07",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
