Feasibility and Utility of an Eye-Tracking Device for Assessing Teachers of Invasive Bedside Procedures
Patient-related complications from invasive bedside procedures (IBPs) are attributed to the experience and proficiency of the operator. Furthermore, IBP complications by trainees may be due to practice variability and competency among IBP teachers. The use of gaze metrics technology to better unders...

| description | Patient-related complications from invasive bedside procedures (IBPs) are attributed to the experience and proficiency of the operator. Furthermore, IBP complications by trainees may be due to practice variability and competency among IBP teachers. The use of gaze metrics technology to better understand the behaviors of IBP teachers may aid in the creation of faculty development checklists and, ultimately, reduce procedural complications. Prior research on gaze patterns has focused on the individual performing the procedure, but the goal of this pilot study was to assess gaze behaviors of supervising teachers of IBPs, which is a paradigm shift within procedural education. In this study, pulmonary and critical care medicine fellows placed a central venous catheter on a simulated task trainer as pulmonary and critical care medicine faculty supervised while wearing an eye-tracking device. Both quantitative and qualitative data were obtained. Gaze analysis was divided into 2 areas of interest (ultrasonography and procedure site) and 3 procedural tasks (venous puncture, dilation, and flushing the line). Study findings included the following: (1) calibration was easy and took seconds to complete, (2) the device is relatively comfortable and did not interfere with tasks, (3) a trend toward a higher fixation frequency and dwell time on the ultrasound images during the puncture segment, and (4) variations in fixation frequency on the ultrasound images among supervising IBP teachers. This study documents the feasibility of the eye-tracking device for assessing behaviors of supervisory IBP teachers. There may be a signal suggesting differences in gaze patterns among supervisory teachers, which warrants further study. |
