Development and validation of the first performance assessment scale for interdisciplinary chest tube insertion: a prospective multicenter study.

Purpose: Chest tube insertion requires interdisciplinary teamwork including an emergency surgeon or physician in conjunction with a nurse. The purpose of the study was to validate an interdisciplinary performance assessment scale for chest tube insertion developed from literature analysis.

Methods: This prospective study took place in the simulation center of the University of Paris.

Interdisciplinary teamwork for chest tube insertion and management: an integrative review.

Thoracostomy requires interdisciplinary teamwork. Even though thoracic drainage is a technical surgical procedure, nurses play an important role with major responsibilities during the procedure. This literature review aimed to identify articles related to the interdisciplinary management of thoracostomy.

Management in clinical simulation: a proposal for best practices and process optimization.

Objectives: to develop a best practices document with facilitating components and processes for simulation management.

Methods: the methodological research was conducted between April and October 2017, using four approaches: observational research, conducted in an international simulation institution; Definition of theoretical framework, from the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning; integrative literature review, in international databases; and comparative analysis. It used Bardin's analysis for the categorization of the information.
