Article Synopsis
- The study aims to create a flexible yet standardized sleep medicine fellowship curriculum tailored for diverse healthcare settings across Asia, addressing existing training disparities.
- The development process included a thorough gap analysis, literature review, and expert consensus through a structured survey method.
- The resulting curriculum features two training tracks (one-year and two-year), detailed learning outcomes, competency-based content, and comprehensive assessment strategies to enhance sleep medicine education and patient care in the region.
Objective: Describe characteristics of preterm infants exposed to inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) in Kaiser Permanente Southern California.
Study Design: Case review of preterm infants <34-weeks exposed to iNO during 2010-2020 including respiratory and echocardiographic status, NICU course, and 12-month follow-up.
Results: 270 infants, 2.
Article Synopsis
- A study conducted by the Asian Society of Sleep Medicine aimed to assess the state of sleep medicine accreditation and training across 29 Asian countries and identified significant gaps in the current system.
- The survey, which had an 86% response rate, revealed that only 36% of the regions recognize sleep medicine as an independent specialty, with disparities in training standards and a lack of formalized guidelines in many areas.
- Recommendations include developing a standardized Asian Sleep Medicine Training Curriculum and accreditation guidelines to improve training and recognition of sleep medicine across Asia.
Background: With the surge of COVID-19 infections, there were concerns about shortage of mechanical ventilator in several countries including the Philippines.
Objective: To transform a locally made, low-cost, neonatal ventilator into a volume- and pressure-controlled, adult ventilator and to determine its safe use among ventilated, adult patients at the Philippine General Hospital.
Methods: The modification of the neonatal ventilator (OstreaVent1) to the adult OstreaVent2 was based on the critical need for adult ventilators, in volume or pressure mode, in the Philippines due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Learning collaboratives are seldom used outside of health care quality improvement. We describe a condensed, 10-week learning collaborative ("Telemedicine Hack") that facilitated telemedicine implementation for outpatient clinicians early in the COVID-19 pandemic. Live attendance averaged 1688 participants per session.
