Objectives/Hypothesis Prolonged wait times have become common. Electronic consultations (eConsults) been shown in previous studies to reduce unnecessary face‐to‐face specialists, but no prior study has investigated the feasibility or efficacy of eConsults an otolaryngology–head and neck surgery (OTO‐HNS) practice. Study Design Prospective observational study. Methods The Champlain BASE eConsult system is a secure web portal allowing primary care physicians (PCPs) communicate asynchronously...
Research productivity is an important component of the CanMEDS Scholar role and accreditation requirement Canadian Otolaryngology training programs. Our objective was to determine if association exists between publication rates before during residency.We obtained names for all certified Otolaryngologists who graduated 1998 2013 inclusive, conducted a Medline search their publications. were subgrouped based on year residency graduation number articles published pre-residency (0 or ≥1)....
Nasal reconstruction is considered the historic foundation of facial plastic surgery, and forehead flap remains workhorse repair. To recreate both aesthetic contour function nose, all anatomic layers must be addressed-covering, lining, structural support. This article reviews noteworthy history underlying development paramedian as primary tool in large nasal defects while highlighting its implications on modern Current developments use 2-staged are examined a technique presented.
The nasal bones are among the most commonly fractured in facial skeleton. Proper management of trauma acutely is important minimizing secondary deformities and impaired function with airway obstruction. Septal hematoma, if present, should be drained right away. Acutely closed reduction limited septoplasty can performed. Unrecognized septal fracture may play a role failure bones. Complex nasoorbitoethmoid fractures approached openly treated rigid fixation. Primary use open rhinoplasty an...
Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) is a rare condition characterized by bilateral fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). The labile nature of this makes it difficult to accurately quantify with conventional methods, and therefore challenging rehabilitate.Over 9-month period one pediatric patient severe AIED was monitored conducted home audiograms using previously validated testing system (Shoebox Audiometry). During he also underwent several clinical audiograms. correlation between...
Objectives/Hypothesis Microvascular free tissue transfer is often employed to reconstruct significant facial defects from ballistic injuries. Herein, we present our comparison of complications between self‐inflicted and non–self‐inflicted gunshot wounds after microvascular transfer. Study Design Retrospective case review. Methods Approval was obtained the JPS institutional review board. We performed a retrospective cases injuries October 1997 September 2017 that underwent vascularized for...
LearnENT, an educational app for iOS, was developed to promote a standardized experience otolaryngology in head and neck surgery (OTOHNS) University of Ottawa medical students. Its development grounded pedagogical theory including Laurillard’s design process, Honey Mumford’s learning styles, Nielsen’s usability. This paper examines LearnENT's processes as well the role mobile apps education. Features LearnENT they apply Constructivist are also highlighted.
Background Conversion disorder refers to functional bodily impairments that can be precipitated by high stress situations including trauma and surgery. Symptoms of conversion may mimic or complicate otolaryngology diseases in the pediatric population. Case presentation In this report, authors describe 3 cases presented a otolaryngology-head neck surgery practice. This report highlights unique population patients who have not previously been investigated. The clinical management these are...
Case Based Learning (CBL), a form of small group learning developed from the same educational theories as Problem (PBL), is becoming increasingly prevalent in North American medical schools.At University Ottawa, approximately 20% scheduled class time devoted to this pedagogical method.Despite importance method, review literature found that no formal tool has been assess quality and consistency these cases.The objective project was develop would allow standardised approach CBL cases.We...
Background In the realm of medical education, student-led ambassador programs represent an innovative approach to increase awareness about education resources. LearnENT is internationally recognized otolaryngology-head and neck surgery (OHNS) smartphone app website designed for trainees learn OHNS. However, upon initial launch app, there was a lack student engagement.
 Approach this article, we highlight process lessons learned from developing program national presence uptake LearnENT....
