Objective: Fluids and vasoactive agents are both used to treat septic shock, but little is known about how they interact or the optimal way administer them. We sought determine hospital mortality was influenced by combined use of these two treatments. Design: Retrospective evaluation using multivariable logistic regression evaluate association between categorical variables representing initiation volumes IV fluids given 0–1, 1–6, 6–24 hours after onset, including interactions adjusting for...
OBJECTIVE: To achieve national consensus on standards of training, quality assurance and maintenance competence for critical care ultrasound intensivists trainees in Canada using recently published international training statements. DATA SOURCES: Existing internationally endorsed guidelines expert opinion. SYNTHESIS: In November 2013, a day‐long meeting was held with 15 Canadian experts which essential topics relevant to were discussed. CONCLUSIONS: Consensus achieved direct curriculum,...
Little attention has been placed on assessment tools to evaluate image acquisition quality for focused critical care echocardiography. We designed a novel tool objectively the skills of trainees learning echocardiography and examined evidence validity.Prospective observational study.Medical-surgical ICUs at tertiary teaching hospital.Trainees in our medicine fellowship program.Six completed training curriculum followed by performing 20 transthoracic echocardiograms patients receiving...
Objectives: Obtaining competency in medical skills such as interpretation of electrocardiograms (ECGs) requires repeated practice and feedback. Structured feedback for ECGs is likely not provided to most students, so skill development dependent on opportunistic training during clinical rotations. Our aim was describe: the amount deliberate completed learning ECG rhythm strip diagnoses first year curve diagnosis, student experiences with practice. Methods: First students from two schools were...
Epiduroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic technique, useful in the management of patients with back leg pain. However, dose radiation exposure by fluoroscopy during epiduroscopy not known. The endpoint our study was to evaluate amount for health care workers epiduroscopy.First, we measured 10-minute humanoid models, which substituted patient physician. Second, duration clinical 14 observed injury these patients.In model skin over period as 238 mGy. physician's 10...
Clinical reasoning is a core competency for physicians and also common source of errors, driving high rates misdiagnoses patient harm. Efforts to provide training in assessment clinical skills have proven challenging because they are either labor- resource-prohibitive or lack important data relevant reasoning. The authors report on the creation use online simulation cases train assess among medical students.Using an library cases, collected differential diagnosis, analysis history physical...
Diagnostic errors are a large burden on patient safety and improving clinical reasoning (CR) education could contribute to reducing these errors. To this end, calls have been made implement CR training as early the first year of medical school. However, much is still unknown about pre-clerkship students' processes. The current study aimed observe how students use information during diagnostic process.In prospective observational study, completed 10-11 self-directed online simulated cases....
Deliberate practice is an important method of skill acquisition and under-utilized in dermatology training. We delivered a dermatologic morphology training module with immediate feedback for first year medical students. Our goal was to determine whether there are differences accuracy learning efficiency between self- regulated algorithm-regulated groups.First students at the University Calgary completed module. randomly assigned them either self-regulated arm (students removed cases from...
