Whether adjunctive intermittent pneumatic compression in critically ill patients receiving pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis would result a lower incidence of deep-vein thrombosis than alone is uncertain.
Simulation has been widely used in the education of healthcare workers. In simulation training, there is an approximation to reality which trainees are supposed react problems or conditions as they would under genuine circumstances. The educational value simulations determined be valuable. a significant impact on health care across disciplines and both undergraduate postgraduate studies. Recent development technologies permits reproduction real-life scenarios with acceptable fidelity, thus...
In view of their superior soft tissue contrast compared to computed tomography, magnetic resonance images are commonly involved in stereotactic radiosurgery/radiotherapy applications for target delineation purposes. It is known, however, that geometrically distorted, thus deteriorating dose delivery accuracy. The present work focuses on the assessment geometric distortion inherent used treatment planning and attempts quantitively evaluate consequent impact delivery. distortions 3 clinical...
Introduction The abrupt disruption of in-person instruction in health care during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted rapid adoption distance simulation as an immediate alternative to providing simulation-based education. This massive instructional shift, combined with lack educator training this domain, led challenges for both learners and educators. study aimed disseminate first set competencies required unique effective Methods was a multiphasic iterative modified Delphi validating content...
To assess parental perceptions and beliefs about asthma in children.We invited 6000 children aged 3 to 15 years from different schools Lebanon participate the study September 2007 May 2008. In first phase, order determine prevalence of children, parents all participating filled out a small questionnaire. second only with detailed questionnaire their asthma.Phase I included 4051 574 (14%) whom had were recruited phase II. Out these, 389 entered final data analysis. Around 54% believed that...
COVID-19 pandemic is presenting serious challenges to the world's healthcare systems. The high communicability of necessitates robust medical preparedness and vigilance.To report on simulation-based training test activities prepare workers (HCWs) for effective safe handling patients with COVID-19.Two were conducted: all HCWs a full-scale unannounced disaster exercise at King Fahad Medical City (KFMC). online module was designed enhance knowledge COVID-19. This available KFMC staff. five...

Dyspnea is a distressing symptom experienced by people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The dyspnea-12 (D-12) questionnaire comprises of 12 items and assesses the quality this symptom, its severity emotional response. original (English) version D-12 reliable valid for measurement dyspnea in diseases.To translate into Arabic determine whether Saudi nationals COPD.The was translated reviewed an expert panel before being back-translated English. administered to five patients...
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a common problem in critically ill patients. Pharmacologic prophylaxis is currently the standard of care based on high-level evidence from randomized controlled trials. However, limited exists regarding effectiveness intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices. The Pneumatic compREssion for preventing VENous Thromboembolism (PREVENT trial) aims to determine whether adjunct use IPC with pharmacologic compared alone patients reduces risk VTE. PREVENT...
Abstract Background This study assessed the mobility levels among critically ill patients and association of early with incident proximal lower-limb deep-vein thrombosis 90-day mortality. Methods was a post hoc analysis multicenter PREVENT trial, which evaluated adjunctive intermittent pneumatic compression in receiving pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis an expected ICU stay ≥ 72 h found no effect on primary outcome thrombosis. Mobility were documented daily up to day 28 using tool 8-point...
A broad spectrum of pathologies that involve the laryngotracheobronchial airway and imaging plays a crucial role in evaluating these abnormalities. Computed tomography with virtual bronchoscopy has been found to be very helpful defining location, extent, nature lesions, is increasingly being used even patients contraindications for fiberoptic laryngoscopy. Ionizing radiation, associated bronchoscopy, can minimized by using low-dose multidetector computed hybrid iterative reconstruction...
The Pneumatic CompREssion for Preventing VENous Thromboembolism (PREVENT) trial evaluates the effect of adjunctive intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) with pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis compared to alone on venous thromboembolism (VTE) in critically ill adults. In this multicenter randomized trial, patients receiving will be an IPC or a no (control) group. primary outcome is "incident" proximal lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) within 28 days after randomization....
Background COVID-19 pandemic curfew made it difficult for families to communicate with their loved ones while hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU). A hybrid telephone and video conferencing model (VC) was created as a method of communication. This study aims assess satisfaction critically ill non-COVID-19 patients VC mean communication during curfew. Methods prospective observational conducted two academic hospitals. Family visits were replaced by visitation restriction. To VC,...
Abstract Background: Understanding the characteristics and outcomes of cancer patients with unplanned ICU admission is imperative for therapeutic decisions prognostication purposes. Objective: To describe clinical hematological non-hematological malignancies (NHM) who require to determine predictors mortality long-term survival. Methods: This retrospective study included all had an between 2011 2016 at a tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia. The following variables were collected: age, gender,...

Chest tube insertion can be associated with serious complications. A structured training programme is needed to minimise complications and enhance patient safety. Novices should pass a reliable test solid evidence of validity before performing the procedure supervised on patients. The aim this study was establish credible pass/fail standard.We used an established assessment tool Tube Insertion Competency Test (TUBE-iCOMPT). Validity explored according Messick's five sources validity. Two...
Abstract There are contradictory data regarding the effect of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) on incidence deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and heart failure (HF) decompensation in critically ill patients. This study evaluated adjunctive use IPC rate incident DVT ventilation-free days among patients with HF. In this pre-specified secondary analysis PREVENT trial (N = 2003), we compared added to pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis (IPC group), alone (control group) The presence HF was...
Objective: Surveillance ultrasounds in critically ill patients detect many deep venous thrombi (DVTs) that would otherwise go unnoticed. However, the impact of surveillance for DVT on mortality among remains unclear. Design: We are conducting a multicenter, multinational randomized controlled trial examines effectiveness adjunct intermittent pneumatic compression use with pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis compared to alone incidence proximal lower extremity (the PREVENT trial). Enrolled...
This paper outlines the primary steps required in developing a simulation curriculum. We examine forms of postgraduate training, instructional design models, learner assessment, and modular pattern Further, we provide examples how each these components are practically described literature applied at Center for Research, Education, Simulation-Enhanced Training.
