An automated content-based measure of closed loop communication among critical care air transport teams.

Successful teamwork is essential to ensure critical care air transport (CCAT) patients receive effective care. Despite the importance of team performance, current training methods rely on subjective performance assessments and do not evaluate performance at the team level. Researchers have developed the Team Dynamics Measurement System (TDMS) to provide real-time, objective measures of team coordination to assist trainers in providing CCAT aircrew with feedback to improve performance.

Comparison of intermolecular energy transfer from vibrationally excited benzene in mixed nitrogen-benzene baths at 140 K and 300 K.

Gas phase intermolecular energy transfer (IET) is a fundamental component of accurately explaining the behavior of gas phase systems in which the internal energy of particular modes of molecules is greatly out of equilibrium. In this work, chemical dynamics simulations of mixed benzene/N baths with one highly vibrationally excited benzene molecule (Bz) are compared to experimental results at 140 K. Two mixed bath models are considered.

Real-world use of the sufentanil sublingual tablet system for patient-controlled management of acute postoperative pain: a prospective noninterventional study.

To evaluate the real-life effectiveness, safety, tolerability and patient-reported outcomes (PRO) of the sufentanil sublingual tablet system (SSTS) for postoperative pain management (POPM). This prospective, multicenter, noninterventional, study included adults with acute moderate to severe postoperative pain who self-administered sufentanil using the SSTS. Main outcome measures were pain intensity at rest (numerical rating scale [NRS]: 0 [no pain] to 10 [most intense pain imaginable]); most intense pain intensity (0-10); 4-point patient assessment of the pain control method ("excellent", "good", "fair", "poor"); patient satisfaction with the pain control level and the method of administration of pain medication (6-point scale: "extremely satisfied", "very satisfied", "satisfied", "dissatisfied", "very dissatisfied", "extremely dissatisfied").
