Impact of Unexpected Death in a Simulation Scenario on Skill Retention, Stress, and Emotions: A Simulation-Based Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction The simulation of patient death remains controversial in simulation-based education. We investigated the effect of simulated patient death on learners' skill retention, stress levels, and emotions. Methods After ethics approval, we recruited residents at two Canadian universities.

Quantitative behavioural phenotyping to investigate anaesthesia induced neurobehavioural impairment.

Anaesthesia exposure to the developing nervous system causes neuroapoptosis and behavioural impairment in vertebrate models. Mechanistic understanding is limited, and target-based approaches are challenging. High-throughput methods may be an important parallel approach to drug-discovery and mechanistic research.

Making the invisible visible: New perspectives on the intersection of human-environment interactions of clinical teams in intensive care.

Understanding human behaviour is essential to the successful adoption of new technologies, and for the promotion of safer care. This requires capturing the detail of clinical workflows to inform the design of new human-technology interactions. We are interested particularly in the possibilities for touchless technologies that can decipher human speech, gesture and motion and allow for interactions that are free of contact.

A Summary of Preclinical Poster Presentations at the Sixth Biennial Pediatric Anesthesia Neurodevelopment Assessment (PANDA) Symposium.

The potential for long-term neurotoxic effects of anesthetics on the developing human brain has led to intensified research in this area. To date, the human evidence has been inconclusive, but a large body of animal evidence continues to demonstrate cause for concern. On April 14 and 15, 2018 the sixth biennial Pediatric Anesthesia and Neurodevelopmental Assessment (PANDA) study symposium was held at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York.
