Virtual reality (VR) has the potential to be used as a transformative tool in medical education - offering both interactive models and clinical simulations enhance training. VR presents space cost-effective solution for remote education, combined with prospects of higher efficiency interactivity than traditional This study aimed explore application perception focus group students an innovative learning anatomy. Sixteen underwent structured lesson plan exploring concepts Pre- post-surveys...
This study assessed the inconsistencies between self-reported alcohol consumption and blood content (BAC) in trauma patients. We aimed to identify incidence of positive BAC patients who reported a zero score on Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). also sought characteristics individuals were likely negate use, yet yielded BAC, improve our ability provide screening healthcare these at-risk consumers. Methods: conducted retrospective from 2010 2018 at university-based, level-one...
ABSTRACT Objectives Undergraduate ultrasound education is becoming increasingly important, but its expansion limited by time, space and the availability of trained faculty. In order to validate an alternative more accessible teaching model, our aim was assess whether combining teleguidance peer‐assisted learning teach as effective traditional in‐person methods. Methods Peer instructors taught 47 second‐year medical students ocular via either or Proficiency assessed using a multiple‐choice...
Trauma patients who present to the emergency department (ED) intoxicated or with an alcohol use disorder (AUD) undergo more procedures and have increased risk of developing complications. However, how AUD blood concentration (BAC) impact a trauma patient's disposition from ED remains inconclusive. In this study we aimed identify associations between positive BAC admission hospital, including intensive care unit (ICU).This was retrospective analyzing data 2010-2018 at university-based, Level...
Hospitalist-run procedure teams enable expedited care in the inpatient setting. However, wait times for outpatient interventional radiology (IR) are long at our institution. Our study thus aims to compare safety and between procedural IR placement of temporary hemodialysis catheters (THDC) patients undergoing Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy apheresis. A retrospective chart review was conducted on all receiving THDC CAR-T from August 2019 until November 2022. During period,...
It is important to analyze the types of etiologies and provider demographics that drive opioid prescription in our emergency departments. Our study aimed determine which patients ED are receiving prescriptions, as well their strength quantity. Secondary outcomes included identifying difference prescribing between classes.We conducted a retrospective at tertiary care university-based, level-one trauma from November 2017 October 2018. We identified analyzed data 2,259 who were sent home with...
Patients with an alcohol use disorder (AUD) have increased risk of developing complications during their hospital stays; however, how AUD impacts the length stay (LOS) and utilization resources remains inconclusive.This study aimed to identify associations between AUD, defined by self-reported consumption, blood content (BAC), LOS (HLOS) including intensive care unit (ICU) in trauma patient population.We conducted a retrospective analyzing data obtained from 2010 2018 at university-based,...
Given the general lack of literature on opioid and naloxone prescribing guidelines for patients with substance use disorder, we aimed to explore how a physician's behavior habits are altered by knowledge patient's concomitant psychotropic compounds as evident urine serum toxicology screens.We conducted retrospective chart review study at tertiary, academic, Level I trauma center between November 2017-October 2018 that included 358 who were discharged from emergency department (ED) diagnosis...
