Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Communication delay during remote instruction of simple interrupted suturing was evaluated by randomizing participants to near real-time or 4-second delayed communication conditions. The delay group required more time to complete five sutures, with diminishing effect by the fifth suture. Instructor-reported cognitive workload was higher under delayed conditions, but suturing quality did not differ between groups. These findings suggest remote guidance is operationally feasible for non-medically trained individuals performing uncomplicated interventions.
