This study examined the effectiveness of a tablet-based augmented reality (AR) procedural training environment for lower leg fasciotomy with a cohort of novice surgical trainees in (1) procedural knowledge, (2) tablet-based procedural skills, (3) tablet-based procedural time, and (4) procedural performance on a cadaver. We hypothesized that engaging with the AR procedural training would increase procedural knowledge and tablet-based skills and procedural time. We hypothesized that the tablet-based AR training environment would be insufficient to acquire the ability to perform lower leg fasciotomy on a cadaver.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study was approved as exempt by the Institutional Review Board at USU. Surgical interns, sub-interns, and independent duty corpsman (n\u2009=\u200930) with no prior lower leg fasciotomy experience voluntarily participated. Tablet-based training activities included pre-training assessment, engagement with instruction, interactive procedural practice, and post-training assessment. Tablet-based knowledge assessment included 17 multiple choice questions covering concepts, reasoning, and judgment associated with the procedure. Tablet-based procedural completion and time were assessed within the training environment. Within 1\u2009week of completing the tablet activities, participants were assessed by fellowship-trained trauma surgeons while performing cadaver-based lower leg fasciotomy. Statistical analysis included paired t-tests and effect size (Cohen\u2019s d). Statistical significance was set at P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.05.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Tablet-based AR procedural training significantly improved procedural knowledge (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001), tablet-based procedural skills (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001), and reduced tablet-based procedural time (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.002). Effect sizes were very large for tablet-based procedural knowledge (d\u2009=\u20091.75) and skills (d\u2009=\u20093.2) and small (d\u2009=\u20090.42) for procedural time. There were no significant effects of procedural knowledge, tablet-based procedural skills, or time on cadaver-based performance. No participant was able to accurately and independently complete lower leg fasciotomy procedure on a cadaver.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Tablet-based AR procedural training improved procedural knowledge and tablet-based skills; however, those gains did not transfer to the ability to perform the procedure on a cadaver. The tablet\u2019s limited AR interface did not support the acquisition of requisite surgical technique, tissue handling, and decision-making in novice surgical trainees. Experienced surgeons may have different outcomes because their mature understanding of surgical constructs would allow extrapolation of abilities to other procedural contexts. Further investigation of the tablet-based training environments for surgical care is necessary before distributing such resources to support clinical readiness.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/usae103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,30]],"date-time":"2024-03-30T17:11:35Z","timestamp":1711818695000},"page":"e2248-e2256","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Clinical Readiness: Can Providers Learn to Perform Lower Leg Fasciotomy Through a Tablet-based Augmented Reality Surgical Training Environment?"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"189","author":[{"given":"Kieran","family":"Wolf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center , Bethesda, MD 20814, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Bowyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center , Bethesda, MD 20814, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Bradley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center , Bethesda, MD 20814, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brenton","family":"Franklin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center , Bethesda, MD 20814, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Weissbrod","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center , Bethesda, MD 20814, USA"},{"name":"The Henry M.
