| Abstract | ||
| Background and Aim Spinal anesthesia, as a basic skill, needs to have a consideration in the design of the learning process in any training program. This study aimed to follow up on the learning curve of the junior resident during their training program to know the duration and the number of cases needed by the trainee to be skillful in spinal anesthesia. Methods for six months, the trainee were monitored to check their ability and excellence to achieve optimum spinal anesthesia using a checklist, learning curve, and strict crystal clear endpoint to achieve a 90% success rate Results The learning curve indicated a rapid improvement of skills, 50 attempts (cases), done over about 100 days with approximately 13 hours of residency work per day is enough for a trainee to achieve a success rate of 90%, as set by the criteria in this study. Conclusions By using learning curves, it is possible to generate the minimal numbers of each manual procedure required to achieve an adequate success rate | ||
