Filter by:The aim is to investigate if feedback given by an automatic and objective system in simulated colonoscopy (the investigation of the large intestine) increase learning and time spent practicing.
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and the main cause of cardioembolic stroke. Oral Anticoagulation (OAC) has been shown to significantly prevent AF-related thromboembolism, however, despite convincing evidences and current guidelines recommendations, OAC tends to be underused in clinical practice especially in the oldest. Education and training to appropriately select people suitable for OAC for stroke prevention could be pivotal in the decision making process. According to the study project, physicians working in Internal Medicine and Geriatric wards, where are mainly admitted elderly people with AF, will undergo to a program of e-learning through computer-based simulation method reproducing clinical scenarios of patients aged 65 years or older, with known or newly diagnosed AF, admitted to hospital for any medical reason and requesting that a decision about long-term antithrombotic therapy is taken. Primary objective of the study is to investigate whether such educational intervention will improve the appropriate use and prescription rate of OAC in hospitalised elderly patients with AF, multimorbidity and polypharmacy, in comparison to the usual practice. The study will be a cluster randomised controlled trial involving a network of Internal Medicine and Geriatrics wards. Thirty-two wards will be recruited based on voluntary participation and randomised to receive an educational intervention through computer-based simulation, (N=16) or to continue with the usual practice (N=16). Subjects receiving the intervention will be all the staff physicians of the wards randomised in the intervention arm. The impact of the intervention compared with the usual practice will be evaluated in patients aged 65 years or older admitted to the participating centres with a known diagnosis of AF or newly diagnosed with AF during the hospitalisation.
The aim of this observational study is to compare the visual interests between residents in high-fidelity simulation practice
Objectives: The primary objective is to determine the least frequent CPR training interval associated with continued performance of guideline-compliant CPR. The secondary objective is to determine whether certain physical characteristics, such as age, gender, exercise tolerance, height, and weight may be able to identify HCPs at high risk of being unable to perform high-quality CPR. Design: Randomized trial to compare the effect of different training frequencies on long-term CPR performance. Participants and setting: Nurses in all adult departments at Health Sciences North. Subjects will be randomly assigned to a group that undertakes short CPR assessment and training sessions either 1) every month, 2) every 3 months, 3) every 6 months, or 4) every 12 months (control group) over the course of a twelve-month period. Analysis: The proportion of nurses in each group that is able to perform "excellent CPR" at the twelve-month time point will be determined. Excellent CPR is defined as a two-minute CPR session where 90% of compressions are performed with correct depth (50-60 mm), 90% with correct rate (100-120 /min), and 90% with full chest recoil. A subgroup analysis will also be performed where the demographic data of individuals who are unable to perform excellent CPR at the twelve-month time point regardless of intervention group are compared against those who are successful. Conclusion: The results of our study will help determine the longest CPR training interval associated with maintenance of high-quality CPR skills to minimize training sessions required and decrease associated costs. The results will also generate hypotheses for future study about optimizing role assignments and team performance in resuscitation.
The investigators hypothesized that feedback based on previously developed and validated metrics will improve novices' learning of procedural skills. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of a structured, objective and terminal feedback on novices' performance skills of ultrasonography part of ultrasound-guided axillary brachial plexus block.
This study compares the use of simulation-based just-in-time training to video training in learning neonatal endotracheal intubation. Half of the participants will be trained using simulation-based just-in-time training and the other half using video training. The hypothesis are Primary hypothesis: In the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, use of simulation-based just-in-time training, compared to video training, will increase the rate of successful clinical endotracheal intubation by 20%. Secondary hypotheses: The investigators expect that simulation-based just-in-time training prior to clinical endotracheal intubation will decrease time to successful intubation and rate of endotracheal intubation related adverse events, namely mucosal trauma, oesophageal and endobronchial intubations. In addition, the investigators expect that simulation-based just-in-time training will increase residents' confidence level while performing clinical endotracheal intubation.
The objective of this study is to compare two forms of pre-training (an online narrative presentation and a serious game) to prepare 2nd year medical students for a hands-on training with physical simulators about out-of-hospital cardiac arrest management.
