Official title

Gastrointestinal Endoscopist Warm-up Activity With Recreational Media: A Randomised Pilot Crossover Trial

Overview

This study aims to assess the potential benefits of a brief video game intervention prior to a simulated endoscopy assessment on a phantom model by gastroenterology and general surgical clinicians.

Interventions

  • Behavioral Video game warm-up.
    Participants will either rest or perform a 5-minute video game session of StarFox Zero (Nintendo) using the Wii-U (Nintendo) immediately prior to a simulated endoscopy assessment. The optimal pre-procedure warm-up duration is not known. Short interventions appear to be effective in athletic performance, and have been used in other procedural studies evaluating warm-up benefit. The intervention and assessment are expected to take ≤20 minutes per time point.

Primary outcome measures

  • Tool handling [Time frame: This will be measured at index assessment and at follow up assessment 1 week later.]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
  • Tool handling [Time frame: This will be measured at index assessment and at follow up assessment 1 week later.]
  • Time to D2 [Time frame: This will be measured at index assessment and at follow up assessment 1 week later.]
  • Tip control [Time frame: This will be measured at index assessment and at follow up assessment 1 week later.]
  • Task difficulty [Time frame: This will be measured at index assessment and at follow up assessment 1 week later.]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Gastroenterology or general surgical clinician at University Hospital Galway.
