Introduction The simulation of patient death remains controversial in simulation-based education. We investigated the effect of simulated patient death on learners' skill retention, stress levels, and emotions. Methods After ethics approval, we recruited residents at two Canadian universities.

The aim of this study was to report the experience of a university hospital in the organization of the induction course for future surgical residents and the contribution of a video support in the learning of the suture.
Material And Method: We were able to study two consecutive years of students (October 2020 and 2021).
Background: Prereduction shoulder X-rays are frequently done to rule out an important fracture that might preclude reduction of a shoulder dislocation in the ED. Our objective was to determine the risk factors for an important fracture in patients admitted to the ED with shoulder dislocation.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Toulouse University Hospital from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2018.
Objectives: Interprofessional simulation (IPS) training is an effective way to learn crisis resource management. The type of debriefing used in IPS training may affect participants' performance and their level of psychological safety. We aimed to assess and compare performance after standard collective debriefing versus a combination of individual and collective debriefing ("combined" approach).

Methods: A prospective, three-part anonymous survey, given to caregivers and patients at arrival accident and emergency services. The primary endpoint was the a priori estimated pain score for 10 procedures performed frequently by accident and emergency services.
Study Objective: The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to determine the immediate and delayed effects of noninvasive ventilation for patients in acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE) in addition to aggressive usual care in a medical prehospital setting.
Methods: Out-of-hospital patients in severe ACPE were eligible for the study. Patients were randomized to receive either usual care, including conventional optimal treatment with furosemide, oxygen, and high-dose boluses of isosorbide dinitrate plus oxygen, or conventional medications plus out-of-hospital continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
