Article Synopsis
- There weren't any special training centers for doctors during the tough times of the coronavirus, even though they were using complicated methods to help patients.
- The National Education Centre created a program to teach doctors about using extracorporeal technologies (like ECMO) to save lives between 2019 and 2023, training 405 doctors through 34 courses.
- After these courses, the doctors showed a big improvement in their knowledge and skills, which helped them be better prepared to deal with critical situations, especially during the pandemic.
Article Synopsis
- ECMO is beneficial for select critically ill patients with COVID-19 but requires specialized training and resources, prompting the need for a new nursing care protocol to enhance safety and efficiency when using personal protective equipment (PPE).
- A comprehensive simulation training was developed, focusing on the proper use of PPE during ECMO procedures and daily nursing care, supplemented by expert consultations to refine the approach.
- The resulting standardized operating procedures outline essential categories like work organization and daily care, intending to improve team coordination and training in intensive care settings for better patient outcomes during the COVID-19 crisis.
Article Synopsis
- * In 2020, the center conducted high-fidelity simulation-based courses focused on ECMO, ensuring adherence to social distancing, with 115 medical professionals participating, mainly anesthesiologists and intensivists, many of whom had no prior ECMO experience.
- * Participants showed significant improvements in cognitive, behavioral, and technical skills related to ECMO management, with knowledge scores rising notably after the training, indicating the program's effectiveness in preparing healthcare
