Human patient simulators and airway training manikins are widely used to train management skills medical professionals. Furthermore, these employed as standardized "patients" evaluate devices. However, little is known about how realistic airway-training really are. This trial aimed the upper anatomy of four high-fidelity two trainers in comparison with actual patients by means radiographic measurements. The volume pharyngeal airspace was primary outcome parameter.Computed tomography scans 20...
Digital teaching in medical education has grown popularity the recent years. However, to best of our knowledge, no bibliometric report date been published that analyzes this important literature set reveal prevailing topics and trends their impacts reflected citation counts.We used a approach unveil evaluate scientific on digital research education, demonstrating recurring topics, productive authors, organizations, countries, journals. We further aimed discuss some findings reported by...
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of a mastery learning (ML) versus time-based (TB) BLS course for acquisition and retention knowledge skills in laypeople. Methods: After ethics approval, laypeople were randomized to ML or TB based on American Heart Association (AHA) Heartsaver course. In group, subjects practiced received feedback at six stations until they reached pre-determined level performance. The group standard AHA six-station All participants took in-course test end their...
To summarize knowledge about the esophageal-tracheal Combitube in emergency medicine and anesthesia, with special emphasis on uncommon indications. Papers published between August 2003 July 2004 are reviewed.Tracheal intubation field is difficult success rates dependent upon training level (90-98%). Therefore, has been recommended for ventilation after failed tracheal of 90%, even when performed by medical technicians. insertion easy to learn, but practice necessary retain skills. Use this...
To prospectively investigate the performance, sealing capacity and operating room (OR) staff exposure to waste anaesthetic gases during use of Cobra perilaryngeal airway (CobraPLA) compared with laryngeal mask classic (LMA).Sixty patients were randomly assigned CobraPLA or LMA group. Insertion time, number insertion attempts leak pressures assessed after induction anaesthesia. Occupational nitrous oxide (N(2)O) Sevoflurane (SEV) was measured at anaesthetists' breathing zone patients' mouth...
Supraglottic airway devices are often used in management to facilitate tracheal intubation. Knowledge of the distance from grille device patient's vocal cords is essential for safe passage tube below cords.To assess glottis three supraglottic [LMA (LMA Unique), Air-Q (Air-Q Intubating Laryngeal Airway Reusable) and CobraPLA (Cobra Perilaryngeal Airway)] their usage as intubation conduits.Randomised controlled trial.Tertiary, university hospital.Thirty women undergoing elective gynaecological...
Background Adequate plasma antibiotic concentrations are necessary for effective elimination of invading microorganism; however, extracorporeal organ support systems well known to alter antibiotics, requiring dose adjustments achieve minimal inhibitory in the patient's blood. Methods A mock molecular adsorbent recirculating system ( MARS ) circuit was set using 5000 ml bovine heparinized whole blood simulate an 8‐h treatment session. After loading 400 mg moxifloxacin or 2 g meropenem had...
Abstract Objective Many skills needed to provide patients with safe, timely, and adequate anesthesia care during humanitarian crisis disaster relief operations are not part of the daily routine before deployment. An exploratory study was conducted identify preparedness, knowledge, for deployment complex emergencies. Methods Anesthesiologists who had been deployed completed an online questionnaire assessing their skills, knowledge Qualitative data were sorted by frequencies similarities...
Physicians use the Internet to gather medical information. However, little is known about and influence of Wikipedia, Google other non-scientific web resources in acute critical care medicine.
Aim of the study Bystander-initiated basic life support (BLS) for treatment prehospital cardiac arrest increases survival but is frequently not performed due to fear and a lack knowledge. A simple flowchart can improve motivation quality performance. Furthermore, guidelines do recommend chest compression (CC)-only algorithm dispatcher-assisted bystander resuscitation, which may lead increased fatigue loss depth. Consequently, we wanted test hypothesis that CCs are more correctly delivered in...
Abstract Aims Due to time-critical decision-making, physical strain and the uncontrolled environment, prehospital emergency management is frequently associated with high levels of stress in medical personnel. Stress has been known cause ischemia like changes electrocardiograms (ECGs), including arrhythmias deviations ST-T segments. There a lack knowledge regarding occurrence segments physicians. We hypothesized that segment occur physicians field. Methods In this prospective observational...
Introduction The simulation of patient death remains controversial in simulation-based education. We investigated the effect simulated on learners' skill retention, stress levels, and emotions. Methods After ethics approval, we recruited residents at two Canadian universities. Participants were randomized to manage a cardiac arrest ending with either unexpected (intervention group) or survival (control (i.e., manikin). Three months later, all participants performed same scenario but opposite...
