Background: With the increasing availability and use of digital tools such as virtual reality in medical education, there is a need to evaluate their impact on clinical performance and decision-making among healthcare professionals. The Trauma SimVR study is investigating the efficacy of virtual reality training in the context of traumatic in-hospital cardiac arrest.
Methods And Analysis: This study protocol (clinicaltrials.
Background: Perioperative messengers as tools for hospitals to communicate with patients' loved ones during surgery have been described in form of pagers, SMS, email, and apps. The approach of combining multiple means of communication to create a secure and reliable messenger promises several advantages and has not been investigated to date.
Objective: The aim was to develop and test the technical feasibility and acceptance of a remote hybrid SMS/web-based perioperative messenger that keeps patients' loved ones informed around the time of surgery.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates point-of-care diagnostic tests for monitoring the anticoagulants enoxaparin and argatroban in critically ill patients who face risks of thrombosis and bleeding.
- Blood samples from twelve healthy volunteers were used to evaluate the performance of the ClotPro viscoelastic coagulometer alongside traditional coagulation tests.
- Results indicated that the RVV test for enoxaparin is not reliable, while the ECA test shows strong correlation and may be a better option for accurately detecting argatroban levels.
Evidence suggests differences in medical practice and patient outcomes between male and female physicians and surgeons. To date, no such relationships were investigated in anaesthesiologists. This study aimed to investigate an association between anaesthesiologists' sex and anaesthesia quality metrics as well as outcomes.

- Deranged antepartum laboratory parameters may predict postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), but the effects in prematurely born infants is unclear.
- A study analyzed the relationship between various blood factors (hemoglobin, platelet count, fibrinogen, etc.) and PPH in 1734 women who underwent caesarean sections.
- Results indicated that hemoglobin levels were a consistent predictor of PPH across all gestational ages, while platelet counts and fibrinogen levels had varying associations depending on the stage of prematurity.
