Perceptions and influencing factors of interprofessional collaboration in final-year health science students.

Interprofessional education (IPE) is vital for preparing a competent health workforce. Despite the proven benefits of interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP), barriers to its implementation persist. Given the importance of health professionals' perspectives for IPCP success, we investigated the perceptions of IPCP among final-year health science students at Khon Kaen University, Thailand, while they transition into practice.

Influence of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic and Bystander-victim Relationship on the Willingness of Laypeople and Health-care Providers to Perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

Introduction: Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) reduces mortality from out.of.hospital cardiac arrest.

Effect of Contact-Restricted Basic Life Support Training During the Nation's Contact Restriction Policy on Learning Outcomes.

Objective: Basic life support (BLS) training aimed at building knowledge and skills in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. During training, there is the possibility of airborne COVID-19 transmission. The aim was to evaluate students' knowledge, skills, and course satisfaction following contact-restricted BLS training under the contact restriction policy.

Differences in perception of online anesthesiology between Thai medical students and teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Purpose: Traditional anesthesiology learning was disrupted by the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and replaced by online learning. Students and teachers did not prepare well for this change. Determining the differences in perceptions can close the gap and develop more effective curricula.

A randomized controlled, non-inferiority trial of Moodle online learning for basic life support training on learning outcomes among dental students.

Objectives: Dental students require basic life support (BLS) training to build their competency in cardiac arrest response. Online learning differs from the types of learning commonly practiced in Asia. We compared online learning and didactic lecture for BLS training in Thai dental students on knowledge, skill, and satisfaction.

Simulation-based medical education in Thailand: a cross-sectional online national survey.

Background: Simulation-Based Medical Education (SBME) is a teaching method commonly used in undergraduate medical education. Although Thai medical schools have developed a system that incorporates SBME, various aspects of that system require improvement. We surveyed medical school administrators, instructors, and students about SBME in their institutions and the obstacles involved in its implementation, as well as their experiences, expectations, and attitudes regarding the current system.

Deliberate hypotension with propofol under anaesthesia for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).

Background: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive technique that is used to treat chronic sinusitis. Small bleeding areas can reduce operative visibility and result in destruction of surrounding structures. Deliberate hypotension (lowering the mean arterial blood pressure to between 50 and 65 mm Hg in normotensive patients) using a range of pharmacological agents during general anaesthesia reduces blood loss in many operations.

High initial concentration versus low initial concentration sevoflurane for inhalational induction of anaesthesia.

Background: Sevoflurane induction for general anaesthesia has been reported to be safe, reliable and well accepted by patients. Sevoflurane induction uses either low or high initial concentrations. The low initial concentration technique involves initially administering a low concentration of sevoflurane and gradually increasing the concentration of the dose until the patient is anaesthetized.

WITHDRAWN: Epidural blood patching for preventing and treating post-dural puncture headache.

Epidural blood patching for preventing and treating post-dural puncture headache.

Background: This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in Issue 2, 2002. Dural puncture is a common procedure, but leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the resulting dural defect may cause post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) after the procedure, and this can be disabling. Injecting an epidural blood patch around the site of the defect may stop this leakage.

Parents' satisfaction with pediatric ambulatory anesthesia in northeast of Thailand.

Objective: Study the satisfaction of parents with ambulatory anesthesia and associated factors, including characteristics of the patients and their parents.

Material And Method: This was a prospective, descriptive, observation study. The authors included children who were scheduled for ambulatory anesthetic service between birth and 14 years of age and attended at Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen, Thailand.

Trauma care audit using Srinagarind hospital's audit filter.

Background: To audit trauma care (including the mortality rate and obstacles faced by the authors) at Srinagarind (University) Hospital using the trauma audit filter.

Material And Method: Conduct a prospective, descriptive, study of trauma patients who received trauma medical care at Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen University, Thailand, between January and May 2006. Srinagarind Hospitals trauma audit filter was used to audit trauma care.

Comparison of intrathecal morphine plus PCA and PCA alone for post-operative analgesia after kidney surgery.

Objective: To study the use of intrathecal morphine plus PCA for reducing morphine consumption, pain scores, and improving patient-satisfaction.

Material And Method: The authors included patients who had received a flank incision for elective kidney surgery. The patients were random into the intrathecal and control groups by block randomization using the sealed envelop technique.

Surveillance of anesthetic related complications at Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen University, Thailand.

Objective: To identify the incidence of common anesthetic complications in 2003 at Srinagarind Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University, Thailand and find the strategies for prevention.

Material And Method: The study was part of a multi-center study conducted by the Thai Royal College of Anesthesiologists to survey anesthetic related complications in Thailand in 2003. The authors collected data from all the cases receiving anesthesia service at Srinagarind Hospital between January 1 and December 31, 2003, to report the incidence of common anesthetic complications and to assess the need to improve the quality of service.

Knowledge and skill after brief ACLS training.

Objectives: To determine the knowledge level and skill base in nurse anesthetists before and after brief ACLS training, and again three months later.

Method: Thirty nurse anesthetists were tested for knowledge and skill before ACLS training comprising 1-hr lecture and handout, and 1-hr simulation training. Concepts included ABCD, primary and secondary survey, management, medications, and algorithms for common problems.

An experience with intubating laryngeal mask airway for difficult airway management: report on 38 cases.

A retrospective study was performed on 38 patients (23 males and 15 females) in whom the intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA) was used for airway management at Srinagarind and Siriraj Hospital in 2003. The patients 'age and weight ranged between 12 and 75 years and 40 and 94 kg, respectively. Difficult tracheal intubation was suspected before starting general anesthesia in 17 patients, whereas it was found difficult after induction of general anesthesia in 21.
