Article Synopsis
  • Fiberoptic intubation training for difficult airways is complex and usually requires substantial experience, with previous simulations focusing mainly on normal airways.
  • A study involving 86 anesthesia trainees compared training on a normal airway versus training on a normal airway followed by difficult scenarios, finding that the normal airway training group performed better on familiar scenarios.
  • Ultimately, training on difficult airways did not improve skills on unseen difficult cases, suggesting that multiple exposures to a specific airway type are necessary for proficiency.

Background: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the potential of digital health solutions to adapt the organization of care in a crisis context.

Objective: Our aim was to describe the relationship between the MyRISK score, derived from self-reported data collected by a chatbot before the preanesthetic consultation, and the occurrence of postoperative complications.

Methods: This was a single-center prospective observational study that included 401 patients.

Background: Simulation is a pedagogical method known to be a generator of stress, that could be influenced by previous stressful experiences.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of previous experience with a clinical critical event on the stress experienced by nursing students during simulation session of critical events, and on the stress experienced during clinical critical events subsequent to the training.

Design: Observational case-control study.

Background: Due to time limitations, the preanesthetic consultation (PAC) is not the best time for patients to integrate information specific to their perioperative care pathway.

Objective: The main objectives of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of a digital companion on patients' knowledge of anesthesia and their satisfaction after real-life implementation.

Methods: We conducted a prospective, monocentric, comparative study using a before-and-after design.
