Objective: This study assesses the effectiveness of clinical simulation-based training in boosting self-perceived confidence for using upstander communication skills to confront racism, discrimination, and microaggressions (RDM).
Methods: We conducted an observational cohort study with emergency medicine professionals at the 2023 Scientific Assembly of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana. The study featured a clinical simulation-based training on upstander communications skills session followed by small- and large-group debriefs.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on how organisms regulate growth to achieve their final size and shape, especially in multicellular organisms where growth must be coordinated across different tissues and organs.
- - Using the roundworm C. elegans as a model, researchers collected extensive data on growth measurements, feeding behavior, and size changes throughout development.
- - They proposed a model suggesting that physical constraints, specifically cuticle stretch, could inform C. elegans when to transition between developmental stages, influencing their growth rate and timing.
Background: Characteristics of critically ill adults with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in an academic safety net hospital and the effect of evidence-based practices in these patients are unknown.
Research Question: What are the outcomes of critically ill adults with COVID-19 admitted to a network of hospitals in New Orleans, Louisiana, and what is an evidence-based protocol for care associated with improved outcomes?
Study Design And Methods: In this multi-center, retrospective, observational cohort study of ICUs in four hospitals in New Orleans, Louisiana, we collected data on adults admitted to an ICU and tested for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) between March 9, 2020 and April 14, 2020. The exposure of interest was admission to an ICU that implemented an evidence-based protocol for COVID-19 care.
