Inappropriate behaviours in a dental training environment: pilot of a UK-wide questionnaire.

Incivility and inappropriate behaviour in the workplace are topics of growing interest due to their impact on patient care and safety. Several surveys and campaigns have emerged highlighting the existence of a problem. However, the true scale is difficult to ascertain.

Video Modeling and Video Feedback to Reduce Time to Perform Intravenous Cannulation in Medical Students: A Randomized-Controlled Mixed-Methods Study.

Purpose: Combined video modeling (VM) and video feedback (VF) may be more beneficial than traditional feedback when teaching procedural skills. This study examined whether repeated VM and VF compared with VM alone reduced the time required for medical students to perform peripheral intravenous (IV) cannulation.

Methods: Twenty-five novice medical students were randomly assigned to groups in a one-way blinded embedded mixed-methods study to perform IV cannulation.

Artificial ventilation during transport: A randomized crossover study of manual resuscitators with comparison to mechanical ventilators in a simulation model.

Background: Positive-pressure ventilation in critically ill patients is commonly administered via a manual resuscitation device or a mechanical ventilator during transport. Our group previously compared delivered ventilation parameters between a self-inflating resuscitator and a flow-inflating resuscitator during simulated in-hospital pediatric transport. However, unequal group access to inline pressure manometry may have biased our results.

Positive-pressure ventilation during transport: a randomized crossover study of self-inflating and flow-inflating resuscitators in a simulation model.

Background: Positive-pressure ventilation during transport of intubated patients is generally delivered via a hand-pressurized device. Of these devices, self-inflating resuscitators (SIR) and flow-inflating resuscitators (FIR) constitute the two major types used. Selection of a particular device for transport, however, remains largely an institutional practice.

Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of urine in acute kidney injury following cardiopulmonary bypass: a nested case-control study.

Background: The early evolution of acute kidney injury (AKI) in humans is difficult to study noninvasively. We hypothesized that urine proteomics could provide insight into the early pathophysiology of human AKI.

Study Design: A prospective nested case-control study (n = 250) compared serial urinary proteomes of 22 patients with AKI and 22 patients without AKI before, during, and after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
