Commercially available models are often used; however, they can be cost prohibitive. Therefore, alternative ¡°homemade¡± models with similar fidelity are often used. We hypothesize that professional task trainers will be preferred over homemade models. The purpose of this study is to determine realism, durability and cleanliness of three different task trainers for ultrasound guided nerve blocks %K Ultrasound guided nerve block %K Task trainer %K Regional anesthesia %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5675970/
