Introduction: A “flipped classroom” educational model exchanges the traditional format of a classroom lecture and homework problem set. We piloted two flipped sessions in our emergency medicine (EM) residency didactic schedule. aimed to learn about resident faculty impressions sessions, order develop them as regular component curriculum.Methods: evaluated residents’ impression asynchronous video synchronous using four Likert items. used open-ended questions inquire advantages disadvantages...
To explore the relationship between serum testosterone levels, age, length of stay, admission, discharge and changes in functional capacity over time among patients with traumatic brain injury treated a rehabilitation hospital.This study used nonrandomized chart review 54 males, consecutively admitted to hospital.The charts males unit periods December 2004 May 2005 were included this study. Individuals if they 18 years age or older, had suffered injury, undergone admission discharge,...
Abstract Objectives We sought to evaluate commonly used paediatric weight estimation techniques in a sample of children the P hilippines. Methods prospectively collected age, height and data for 207 aged 1–9 years seen during medical aid trip. Weights were estimated using finger counting method, Broselow method four formulae. B land– A ltman analysis was performed agreement with measured weight. Results Mean difference range kilograms as follows: 0.6 (95% CI 0.1–1.1) 14.9 13.1–16.7) method;...
Video is a popular format for teaching and learning online. Emergency medicine (EM) has been leader in online EM educators may wish to use video teach. The creation of content fraught with pitfalls that make videos less effective. We review notable theory evidence regarding effective education international considerations.

Introduction: Opportunities for chest tube placement in emergency medicine training programs have decreased, making competence development and maintenance with live patients problematic. Available trainers are expensive may require costly maintenance.Methods: We constructed an anatomically-detailed model using a Halloween skeleton thorax, dress form torso, yoga mat. Participants trial session completed survey regarding either their comfort before after the or realism of Yogaman vs. cadaver...
Introduction: Emergent transvenous (TV) pacemaker placement can be life-saving, but it has associated complications. Emergency medicine (EM) educators must able to teach this infrequent procedure trainees. Methods: We constructed a conceptually-focused, inexpensive training model made from polyvinyl chloride pipes and connectors, vinyl tubing, submersible pump. Cost of the was $51. tested with group 15 EM residents. then asked participants complete survey reporting confidence before after...
