Abstract Background Frailty is associated with worse outcomes and higher healthcare costs. The long waiting time for surgery a potential ‘teachable’ moment. We examined the feasibility safety of pilot prehabilitation programme on high-risk frail patients undergoing major elective surgery. Methods A single-centre, retrospective study (Dec 2020–Nov 2021) one-stop (structured exercise training, nutritional counselling/therapy, psychological support) in collaboration geriatricians allied health...

Background Patients with colorectal cancer have a high risk of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) due to chronic tumour induced blood loss, reduced dietary intake from poor nutrition or gastrointestinal malabsorption. This pilot, double blinded, randomised controlled trial (RCT) examined the effect and feasibility using preoperative isomaltoside for treating anaemia. Methods Forty eligible adults IDA were receive either intravenous (20 mg.kg -1 up 1000 mg over 30 minutes) usual care (control)...

Traditional simulation debriefing is both time- and resource-intensive. Shifting the degree of primary learning responsibility from faculty to learner through self-guided has received greater attention as a means reducing this resource intensity. The aim study was determine if video-assisted self-debriefing, form learning, would have equivalent outcomes compared standard debriefing.

Introduction Multimodal prehabilitation, an emerging field within the Perioperative Medicine specialty, requires close multidisciplinary team coordination. The goal is to optimise patient’s health status in 4–8 weeks before elective surgery withstand surgical stress. Most patients are unfamiliar with concept of prehabilitation but interested participating such a programme after explanation. objective this randomised controlled trial evaluate effect (patient education video and multimodal...

Introduction In the face of a rapidly advancing pandemic with uncertain pathophysiology, pop-up healthcare units, ad hoc teams and unpredictable personal protective equipment supply, it is difficult for institutions front-line to invent test robust safe clinical care pathways patients clinicians. Conventional simulation-based education was not designed time-pressured emergent needs readiness in pandemic. We used ‘rapid cycle system improvement’ create psychologically learning oasis midst...
