Official title

Application of an Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Monitoring System for Electronic Nasopharyngolaryngoscopy in the Training of Novice Physicians: A Prospective, Single-Center, Randomized Controlled Study

Overview

This study aims to evaluate whether an artificial intelligence-assisted monitoring system can improve the training of novice physicians in electronic nasopharyngolaryngoscopy. The study will compare AI-assisted training with conventional training in terms of post-training examination performance.

Detailed description

Electronic nasopharyngolaryngoscopy is an important diagnostic procedure in otorhinolaryngology, but its examination quality is highly dependent on the operator's experience. Novice physicians may have difficulty in systematically visualizing key anatomical regions, maintaining a clear field of view, and completing a standardized examination.

Artificial intelligence-assisted monitoring systems may provide real-time feedback during endoscopic examination and help trainees improve anatomical site recognition and procedural completeness. This study is designed to evaluate the educational value of an AI-assisted monitoring system in the training of novice physicians performing electronic nasopharyngolaryngoscopy.

Novice physicians will be assigned to different training approaches, including an AI-assisted training method and a conventional training method. During the training phase, participants will receive supervised practice, with or without the support of the AI-assisted monitoring system, depending on group allocation.

Following the training period, participants will perform electronic nasopharyngolaryngoscopy under appropriate supervision. Their performance will be evaluated using recorded procedure data and expert assessment to compare outcomes between training approaches. Measures will be taken throughout the study to ensure patient safety under the guidance of experienced physicians.

Interventions

  • Device Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Monitoring System for Electronic Nasopharyngolaryngoscopy
    The AI-assisted monitoring system analyzes electronic nasopharyngolaryngoscopy video in real time and provides prompts regarding anatomical sites that have been examined. Examined anatomical sites are displayed on the screen, and the system provides information such as examination time and number of anatomical sites covered. The system is used as an adjunctive training tool and does not replace the clinical judgment of supervising physicians.

Primary outcome measures

  • Post-training procedural performance score [Time frame: During each post-training assessment procedure.]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
  • Anatomical Site Coverage Rate [Time frame: During each post-training assessment procedure.]
  • Examination Time [Time frame: During each post-training assessment procedure.]
  • Image Quality Score [Time frame: During each post-training assessment procedure.]
  • Patient Comfort [Time frame: Immediately after or during each post-training assessment procedure.]
  • Trainee Satisfaction with the AI System [Time frame: Within 2 weeks after completion of the training phase]
