About this study

Official title: E3CAPS: Improvement of the Safety of Care in Cataract Surgery Teaching on Eyesi Simulator: Learning Curve and Impact of Sleep Deprivation on Residents in Ophthalmology

The aim of this project is to reduce the risks of cataract surgery using the EyeSi simulator Axis 1: to model the learning curve of novice residents in Ophthalmology who follow the training program recommended by the "Collège des Ophtalmologistes niversitaires de France" (COUF) in order to help creating a "licence to operate" Axis 2: to evaluate the impact of sleep deprivation on the surgical performance of experienced residents in Ophthalmology

Read the detailed description

Axis 1 (15 residents): Learning curve Each resident will perform four 2-hour learning sessions, under the supervision of an experienced cataract surgery trainer. Each resident will perform a standardized assessment at the beginning of the first session with the collection of scores at each surgical stage and the calculation of an average score simulating a complete surgery. This standardized assessment will then be repeated at the end of each of the 4 training sessions. These five points of measurement will make it possible to produce a learning curve for each surgical stage and for the average score simulating a complete surgery.

Axis 2 (25 residents): Sleep deprivation

  • 1st session: In order to include the "experienced" residents and to limit the bias related to the learning curve of the cognitive tests and the surgical procedure
  • 3 normed assessments in autonomy to determine the average score for each resident
  • 3 trials of the Test for Attentional Performance (TAP) with parallel versions to limit test-retest learning bias
  • 2nd session: No sleep deprivation
  • Sleep assessment by actimetry the night before the session (MotionWatch 8©, camntech®, validated as an alternative method to the reference method which is polysomnography)
  • Epworth sleepiness score
  • Visual Analogue Scale for Self-Rated Fatigue
  • Attentional performance tests TAP
  • 3 standardized evaluations on Eyesi in the morning and in the afternoon
  • 3rd session: sleep deprivation (< 7 hours) after a working day
  • Sleep evaluation by actimetry the night before the session (MotionWatch 8©, camntech®)
  • Epworth sleepiness score
  • Self-rated visual analogue scale for fatigue
  • Attentional performance tests TAP
  • 3 Eyesi standardized evaluations in the morning and in the afternoon

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Scores on standardized simulator Eyesi assessments

    Average score of standardized evaluations on EyeSi simulator. The scale title is "EyeSi score". The scores range from 0 to 100, better outcome being positively correlated with a higher score

    Measured: Change the score from Baseline at 1 year

  2. Scores on standardized simulator Eyesi assessments after sleep deprivation

    Average score of standardized evaluations on EyeSi simulator after sleep deprivation. The scale title is "EyeSi score". The scores range from 0 to 100, better outcome being positively correlated with a higher score

    Measured: Change the score from Baseline at 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Eyesi simulator and Sleep deprivation in people with Surgery-Complications and Cataract, run by Nantes University Hospital at 2 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jean-Baptiste Ducloyer, M.D (+33 2 53 48 28 57 ext. CHU Nantes, jeanbaptiste.ducloyer@chu-nantes.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Scores on standardized simulator Eyesi assessments (time frame: Change the score from Baseline at 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05722080, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Feb 2024.
