The COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing rules necessitated the suspension of all in-person learning activities at our institution. Consequently, distance became essential. We adapted a high-fidelity immersive case-based simulation scenario for telesimulation by using virtual meeting platform Zoom® to meet curricular needs. use teach complex is novel. Two cohorts anesthesiology residents participated 2 weeks apart. All learners were located home. Four faculty members conducted from...
The practical application of highly efficient fluorescence-based methods for the semi-automated genotyping polymerase chain reaction-based microsatellite markers will depend on development robust protocols that provide accurate and reproducible data. In present report we compare accuracy a protocol with benchmark radiolabeling method depends known sequence ladder or amplified DNA from reference individuals sizing by autoradiography. Three markers, IGF1 (mfd 1), D4S174 59), D5S211 154),...
In Brief Peripherally-inserted central catheters (PICCs) are long-term IV used for drug and fluid administration, blood sampling, or hyperalimentation. The short-term use of PICCs in postoperative patients has not been studied. this randomized, controlled trial, received either a PICC peripheral catheter (PIV). Our outcome measures were patient parent satisfaction with care, complications the venous access devices, number venipunctures, cost-effectiveness use. Satisfaction was significantly...
BACKGROUND: Anesthesiologists provide comprehensive health care across the emergency department, operating room, and intensive unit. To date, anesthesiologists’ perspectives regarding disaster medicine public preparedness have not been described. METHODS: Anesthesiologists’ thoughts attitudes were assessed via a Web-based survey at 3 major academic institutions. Frequencies, percentages, odds ratios (ORs) used to assess self-reported perceptions of knowledge skills, as well beliefs education...
BACKGROUND The physics of ideal fluid flow is well characterized. However, the effect catheter size, tubing types, injection port adjuncts, and viscosity on not described. We used a simulated environment to determine how various permutations common elements affect flow. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS tested 16 peripheral central venous catheters assess through several standard infusion sets rapid infuser set; blood with addition intravenous extension tubing, stopcocks, needleless connector;...
Children who undergo adenotonsillectomy for sleep-disordered breathing frequently have postoperative oxygen desaturations. Nocturnal hypoxia has been shown to predict respiratory complications; however, other gas exchange abnormalities detected on polysomnography (PSG) not evaluated.We sought determine whether hypercapnia seen preoperative nocturnal PSG can hypoxemia.We conducted a retrospective review of 319 children underwent before adenotonsillectomy. Saturation levels were recorded at...
Limited data exist regarding computational drug error rates in anesthesia residents and faculty. We investigated the frequency magnitude of errors a sample

Objectives: Characterization of the epidemiology and cost lawn-mower injuries is potentially useful to inform injury prevention health policy efforts. We examined incidence, distribution, types severity, emergency department (ED) hospitalization charges among all age groups across United States. Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional study used nationally representative, population-based (all-payer) data from US Nationwide Emergency Department Sample for lawn-mower–related ED visits...
Program directors of anesthesiology residencies agree that it is the program's responsibility to prepare residents for primary American Board Anesthesiology (ABA) certification, although few report an Objective Standardized Clinical Exam (OSCE) program reflective new ABA examination. We created authentic simulated OSCE (SOSCE) using existing resources third-year clinical anesthesia APPLIED exam before graduation and identify knowledge gaps relevant OSCE.Junior medical students acted as...
Within academic medical centers, there is increasing interest among physicians to pursue education as a promotion pathway. Many schools and universities offer professional development opportunities for these individuals such workshops certificate advanced degree programs. However, exists need more personalized support clinician-educators be successful in educational scholarship the health care setting. In 2017, departmental level research community was established within Anesthesiology...
Basic Clinical Anesthesia is a paperback introductory text of anesthesiology. It comprehensive in its coverage topics with 57 chapters including all the usual clinical topics, history anesthesia, and residency requirements guidelines. The editors state that it meant as an “all-in-one resource for medical students, residents, practitioners who seek up-to-date fundamental core anesthesiology.” each topic fairly typical covers what you would expect from textbook starting basics covering...
Case-based learning (CBL) is a distinct classroom-based teaching format. We compare and retention using CBL strategy vs simulation-based (SBL) on the topic of malignant hyperthermia.In this study, 54 anesthesia residents were assigned to either or SBL experience. All had prior simulation experience, both groups received pretest lecture rare diseases with emphasis hyperthermia followed by session. Test questions validated for face construct validity. Postsession testing occurred same day at 4...
Prior research has identified seven elements of a good assessment, but the have not been operationalized in form rubric to rate assessment utility. It would be valuable for medical educators systematic way evaluate utility an order determine if used is optimal setting.We developed and refined using modified Delphi process. Twenty-nine graduate students pilot-tested 2016 with hypothetical data from three examinations, interrater reliability scores was measured interclass correlation...
