Optimization of manual ventilation quality using respiratory function monitoring in neonates: A two-phase intervention trial.

Objective: The aim of this study was the evaluation of the impact of a respiratory function monitor (RFM, Neo100, Monivent AB, Gothenburg, Sweden) on the quality of ventilation in neonates.

Methods: This single-center two-phase intervention study was conducted at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the delivery room of the Medical University of Vienna. Patients with clinical need for positive pressure ventilation were included in either of two consecutive study phases: (i) patients were ventilated with a hidden RFM (control) or (ii) visible RFM (intervention) during manual positive pressure ventilations.

Dose-response of virtual reality training of paediatric emergencies in a randomised simulation-based setting.

Aim: To determine the effect of different virtual reality training intervals on individual performance to facilitate the optimal implementation of medical virtual reality training.

Methods: Emergency scenarios in virtual reality were performed by 36 medical students from the Medical University of Vienna. After baseline training, the participants were randomised into three groups of equal size and underwent virtual reality training at different time intervals (monthly, one training after 3 months, and no further training) before undergoing final assessment training after 6 months.

Quality of life in women with chronic recurrent vulvovaginal candidosis: A sub-analysis of the prospective multicentre phase IIb/III Prof-001 study.

Background: Chronic recurrent vulvovaginal candidosis (RVVC), defined as three or more episodes of vulvovaginal candidosis per year, significantly impairs quality of life (QoL) and sexual health.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to assess health-related QoL in women with RVVC using validated questionnaires before and after treatment. The secondary objective was to analyse the effect of RVVC on women's sexual health.
