Impact of Simulation on the Development of Nursing Students' Competence in Adult Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training is crucial for nursing students as future nurses are the first responders in the ambulatory and hospital care chain. Simulation-based learning has been shown to be more effective in acquiring the knowledge and technical and non-technical skills required for CPR. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of high-fidelity simulation-based adult CPR training on the acquisition and retention of knowledge and the development of technical and non-technical skills of nursing students at the Higher Institute of Nursing Professions and Health Techniques in Fez, Morocco.

[Treatment of postoperative peritonitis in the Intensive Care Unit: a retrospective study of 46 cases].

We conducted a study of 46 patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit with postoperative peritonitis. The incidence of postoperative peritonitis in this setting was 2.7%.

Factors Associated with Mortality in Severe Acute Cholangitis in a Moroccan Intensive Care Unit: A Retrospective Analysis of 140 Cases.

Background: Severe acute cholangitis is a life-threatening biliary infection, leading to organ dysfunction, septic shock, and naturally death. Mortality has dropped significantly in the past years through improving resuscitation and biliary drainage techniques. The aim of our study is to analyze our daily practice and the factors associated with mortality.

Spontaneous pneumomediastinum occurring in the SARS-COV-2 infection.

We report the case of a 23 year old female admitted for management of infection by the SARS-COV-2. The chest CT found a spontaneous pneumomediastinum that resorbed over 7 days with a good clinical outcome. We will discuss the mechanism underlying the occurrence of spontaneous pneumomediastinum during a COVID-19 pneumonia.

[TURP syndrome: about a case].

We report the case of a 78-year old patient, with no particular past medical history, who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (50 g) under spinal anesthesia for benign hypertrophy. 90 minutes after the beginning of the procedure, the patient had nausea, vomiting, visual fog and bradycardia, suggesting TURP syndrome. Ionogramme objectified a serum sodium level of 118meq/L, hence the patient was treated with 3% hypertonic saline solution, with good evolution.

Paracetamol self-poisoning: when oral N-acetylcysteine saves life? a case report.

Paracetamol is the most widely drug involved in accidental paediatric exposures and deliberate self-poisoning cases because of its availability. N-acetyl cystein is the main treatment for this poisoning. We report a case of a 24-year-old Arab female who has deliberately ingested 100 tablets of 500 mg paracetamol each (50g).

[Medical simulation in hemodialysis].

Introduction: Simulation is an innovative educational tool based on learning experience in a secure environment without fear of repercussions especially in critical situations such as in emergencies. It offers great prospects in the development of dialysis training.

Methods: We report the results of an observational study comparing medical simulation to conventional training methods in the management of hemodialysis in emergency situations.
