Teaching for transfer of learning in health professions education: AMEE Guide No. 176.

Transfer of learning occurs when past learning is applied to new situations, and also at a varying time from the initial time of learning. Importantly, research in both academic and clinical areas of health professions education has highlighted that transfer of learning often does not successfully occur. Successful transfer is multi-dimensional and occurs when the learner has the required motivation, mental model, metacognitive processes relevant to the task, and the opportunity to transfer their learning to different situations.

Implementation of Escape Room as an Educational Strategy to Strengthen the Practice of Safe Surgery.

Objective: Describe a safe surgery learning experience based on interactive escape room activities to engage and train nursing and physician teams.

Design: This paper is based on the authors' participatory and observational experiences creating the Escape Room activity.

Setting: Jundiai Regional Hospital, Surgical Department.

Cardiac Arrest in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory: Combining Mechanical Chest Compressions and Percutaneous LV Assistance.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the optimal treatment approach for cardiac arrest (CA) occurring in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.

Background: CA can occur in the cath lab during high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention. While attempting to correct the precipitating cause of CA, several options are available to maintain vital organ perfusion.

The effects of an online basic life support course on undergraduate nursing students' learning.

Objectives: To describe learning outcomes of undergraduate nursing students following an online basic life support course (BLS).

Methods: An online BLS course was developed and administered to 94 nursing students. Pre- and post-tests were used to assess theoretical learning.

Faculty perceptions of simulation programs in healthcare education.

Objective: To identify faculty perceptions of simulation insertion in the undergraduate program, considering the advantages and challenges posed by this resource.

Methods: We conducted a qualitative study with intentional sampling according to pre-defined criteria, following a semi-structured outline regarding data saturation. We have interviewed 14 healthcare instructors from a teaching institution that employs simulation in its syllabi.

Survival After Ventricular Fibrillation Cardiac Arrest in the Sao Paulo Metropolitan Subway System: First Successful Targeted Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Program in Latin America.

Background: Targeted automated external defibrillator (AED) programs have improved survival rates among patients who have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in US airports, as well as European and Japanese railways. The Sao Paulo (Brazil) Metro subway carries 4.5 million people per day.

Quality of continuous chest compressions performed for one or two minutes.

Objectives: This study was designed to assess cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality and rescuer fatigue when rescuers perform one or two minutes of continuous chest compressions.

Methods: This prospective crossover study included 148 lay rescuers who were continuously trained in a cardiopulmonary resuscitation course. The subjects underwent a 120-min training program comprising continuous chest compressions.
