Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, anesthesiology residents faced increased risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 while performing aerosolizing procedures. We developed an airway simulation on the out-of-operating-room management of COVID-19 patients.
Methods: A 90-minute simulation focused on caring for a 45-year-old COVID-19 patient provided training in donning and doffing personal protective equipment, intubation, management of postinduction hypotension, management of ICU ventilators, treatment strategies for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), interpersonal communication, and resource management.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of preoperative anemia on early postoperative outcomes in a population of patients undergoing lung transplantation.
Design: Single-center retrospective study of lung transplantation recipients between April 2013 and June 2018. The primary outcome was hospital length of stay.
Article Synopsis
- Physicians need nontechnical skills, like leadership and financial management, for effective patient care, but current residency training lacks a uniform approach to develop these skills.
- A study implemented a 1-month practice management rotation for senior anesthesiology residents that included managing an operating room and completing relevant coursework.
- Results showed a significant increase in residents' knowledge after the course, demonstrating that such training is both feasible and effective.
