A Novel REBOA Training Curriculum for Emergency Medicine Residents: A Pilot Study.

Background: Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) is a potentially life-saving intervention to treat noncompressible torso hemorrhage. Traditionally, REBOA use has been limited to surgeons. However, emergency physicians are often the first point-of-contact and are well-versed in obtaining rapid vascular access and damage control resuscitation, making them ideal candidates for REBOA training.

Qualitative Analysis of the Lived Experience of Reproductive and Pediatric Health Care in the Military Health Care System.

Introduction: Persistent inequities exist in obstetric and neonatal outcomes in military families despite universal health care coverage. Though the exact underlying cause has not been identified, social determinants of health may uniquely impact military families. The purpose of this study was to qualitatively investigate the potential impact of social determinants of health and the lived experiences of military individuals seeking maternity care in the Military Health System.

Interprofessional obstetric simulation training improves postpartum haemorrhage management and decreases maternal morbidity: a before-and-after study.

Objective: To determine the impact of the Obstetric Simulation Training and Teamwork (OB-STaT) curriculum on postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) rates and outcomes.

Design: Before-and-after study.

Setting: Maternity care hospitals within the USA.

A Grounded Theory Approach to Navigating Infertility Care During U.S. Military Service.

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to understand how active duty service members and their partners navigate the infertility care process within the Military Health System (MHS) while managing a military career.

Materials And Methods: We obtained Institutional Review Board approval to employ a qualitative design using grounded theory methods. We recruited participants using purposive sampling, followed by theoretical sampling.

Obstetric Simulation Training and Teamwork: Immediate Impact on Knowledge, Teamwork, and Adherence to Hemorrhage Protocols.

Introduction: The Obstetric Simulation Training and Teamwork (OB-STaT) curriculum was an in situ interprofessional program to provide standardized postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) simulation training throughout a health system to decrease PPH morbidity. In this study portion, investigators hypothesized that OB-STaT would increase: (a) team member knowledge in diagnosis and management of PPH, (b) teamwork, (c) adherence to established PPH protocols, and (d) patient satisfaction.

Methods: The OB-STaT was implemented at 8 US Navy hospitals between February 2018 and November 2019.

Preparing Emergency Medicine Residents to Disclose Medical Error Using Standardized Patients.

Introduction: Emergency Medicine (EM) is a unique clinical learning environment. The American College of Graduate Medical Education Clinical Learning Environment Review Pathways to Excellence calls for "hands-on training" of disclosure of medical error (DME) during residency. Training and practicing key elements of DME using standardized patients (SP) may enhance preparedness among EM residents in performing this crucial skill in a clinical setting.

A Randomized Control Trial of Cardiopulmonary Feedback Devices and Their Impact on Infant Chest Compression Quality: A Simulation Study.

Objectives: In effort to improve chest compression quality among health care providers, numerous feedback devices have been developed. Few studies, however, have focused on the use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation feedback devices for infants and children. This study evaluated the quality of chest compressions with standard team-leader coaching, a metronome (MetroTimer by ONYX Apps), and visual feedback (SkillGuide Cardiopulmonary Feedback Device) during simulated infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
