Catalogue of Interactive Learning Objectives to improve an Integrated Medical and Dental Curriculum.
2016
ABSTRACT Introduction Online learning media are increasingly being incorporated into medical and dental education. However, the coordination between obligatory and facultative teaching domains still remains unsatisfying. The Catalogue of Interactive Learning Objectives of the University Clinic of Mainz (ILKUM), aims to offer knowledge transfer for students while being mindful of their individual qualifications. Its hierarchical structure is designed according to the Association for Dental Education in Europe (ADEE) levels of competence. Materials and methods The ILKUM was designed to establish a stronger interconnection between already existing and prospective learning strategies. All conte…
Impact of cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate condition: a randomised crossover simulation research study of the int…
2019
ObjectivesDuring a ‘cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate’ situation, asphyxia can lead to cardiac arrest. In this stressful situation, two complex algorithms facilitate decision-making to save a patient’s life: difficult airway management and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. However, the extent to which competition between the two algorithms causes conflicts in the execution of pivotal treatment remains unknown. Due to the rare incidence of this situation and the very low feasibility of such an evaluation in clinical reality, we decided to perform a randomised crossover simulation research study. We propose that even experienced healthcare providers delay cricothyrotomy, a lifesaving approach, d…
Physiological responses and parasympathetic reactivation in rescue interventions: The effect of the breathing apparatus.
2018
This study aimed to assess the effect of wearing a breathing apparatus during a simulated rescue intervention on psychophysiological responses and parasympathetic reactivation of firefighters. Thirty-four firefighters participated in this study which consisted of four experimental sessions conducted randomly: a maximal fitness test and three rescue interventions performed (a) with personal protective clothing (PPC); (b) with PPC and the full self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), including cylinder, full-face piece, and breathing regulator; and (c) with PPC and only the cylinder of the self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBAc). Physiological (heart rate [HR], breathing frequency [BF]) …
Associations of Physical Fitness and Body Composition Characteristics With Simulated Military Task Performance
2017
Pihlainen, K, Santtila, M, Hakkinen, K, and Kyrolainen, H. Associations of physical fitness and body composition characteristics with simulated military task performance. J Strength Cond Res 32(4): 1089-1098, 2018-The purpose of this study was to evaluate the associations of physical fitness and body composition characteristics with anaerobic endurance performance, tested in the combat load using the occupationally relevant military simulation test (MST). Eighty-one male soldiers, deployed to a crisis management operation in the Middle East, volunteered for the study and participated in a test battery consisting measurements of muscle strength, body composition characteristics, endurance ca…
Effect of a simulation-based workshop on multidisplinary teamwork of newborn emergencies: an intervention study
2015
Background: Video analyses of real-life newborn resuscitations have shown that Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) guidelines are followed in fewer than 50 % of cases. Multidisciplinary simulation is used as a first-rate tool for the improvement of teamwork among health professionals. In the study we evaluated the impact of the crisis resource management (CRM) and anesthesia non-technical skills instruction on teamwork during simulated newborn emergencies. Methods: Ninety-nine participants of two delivery units (17 pediatricians, 16 anesthesiologists, 14 obstetricians, 31 midwives, and 21 neonatal nurses) were divided to an intervention group (I-group, 9 teams) and a control group (C-group…
Umfrage zum Training laparoskopischer Fertigkeiten in Deutschland
2016
Hintergrund: Das Training fur Laparoskopie an Simulationsmoglichkeiten wie Box-, POP- oder Virtual-Reality-Trainern verbessert nachweislich die intraoperativen Leistungen. In Deutschland ist dieses Training nicht verpflichtend in die Facharztweiterbildung integriert, muss jedoch bspw. in zertifizierten Zentren fur minimalinvasive Chirurgie bereitgestellt werden. Simulatoren sind in Deutschland von Weiterbildern und Weiterzubildenden erwunscht, jedoch laut fruheren Umfragen nicht ausreichend verfugbar. Ziel des Projekts war die strukturierte Erfassung der Moglichkeiten fur Laparoskopietraining in Deutschland sowie deren Nutzung und Finanzierung. Methoden: Es wurde eine Onlineumfrage unter Mi…
Virtuelle 3-D-Laparoskopie-Simulation in der chirurgischen Aus- und Weiterbildung – Ergebnisse einer Pilotstudie
2013
Hintergrund: Dem technischen Fortschritt folgend, werden im Operationssaal Module zur 3-dimensionalen Darstellung in der Laparoskopie eingesetzt. Erste Untersuchungen an Box-Trainern haben diskrepante Ergebnisse gezeigt. Fur die Virtual-Reality-Laparoskopie (VRL) fehlen Daten zur 3-dimensionalen Simulation. Material und Methoden: 5 Facharzte fur Chirurgie, 10 chirurgisch tatige Arzte in Weiterbildung und 29 Medizinstudenten fuhrten abstrakte und prozedurale Ubungen am VRL-Simulator im 2-D- und 3-D-Modus durch. Die Reihenfolge der Durchfuhrung (2-D/3-D) wurde randomisiert. Ergebnisse: Fur Arzte und Studenten zeigten sich keine signifikanten Leistungsunterschiede fur Ubungen im 2-D- und 3-D-D…
NHL-ChirEx: An interprofessional cross-border education initiative in the Greater Region with a focus on radiation morbidity and patient safety
2018
NHL-ChirEx is an interprofessional cross-border education project that addresses the potential excess of radiation induced morbidity throughout the radiation planning and treatment process. NHL-ChirEx is supported by ESTRO and the University of the Greater Region and has been recently approved and funded under INTERREG VA Programme.
Can't simply roll it out: Evaluating a real-world virtual reality intervention to reduce driving under the influence.
2020
Driving under the influence (DUI) increases the risk of crashes. Emerging technologies, such as virtual reality (VR), represent potentially powerful and attractive tools for the prevention of risky behaviours, such as DUI. Therefore, they are embraced in prevention efforts with VR interventions primed to grow in popularity in near future. However, little is known about the actual effectiveness of such DUI-targeting VR interventions. To help fill the knowledge gap, this study explored the effects of one VR intervention as delivered in the real world. Using pre and post test design, including an intervention group (n = 98) and a control group (n = 39), the intervention evaluation examined you…
Simulation of Supralevator Abscesses and Complex Fistulas in Cadavers: Pelvic Dissemination and Drainage Routes
2018
BACKGROUND: Most perianal abscesses have a cryptoglandular origin, following the pathogenesis described by Parks in 1961. Supralevator abscesses have the most uncommon location. Nevertheless, such pathology results in a high morbidity because of their difficult diagnosis and treatment. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to deepen the knowledge of the pathogenesis and management of supralevator abscesses, as well as the complications derived from incorrect treatment, by using simulation in cadavers. DESIGN: This study is an anatomosurgical description of pelvic and perianal zone and simulation of the different types of supralevator abscesses, their correct drainage routes, and secondary complex fis…
