Article Synopsis
- The emergency department (ED) poses a complex task-management challenge for emergency medicine (EM) trainees, and a new tool called SPRINT aims to enhance their multitasking skills for better patient care and resident well-being.
- The SPRINT acronym stands for five key tasks: stabilize critical patients, perform procedures, rack (address new patients), reassess and dispose, and complete charting, which were taught through a multimedia-based curriculum that included a workshop and simulation game.
- Feedback from 34 EM residents revealed increased confidence and a structured approach to task prioritization following the SPRINT training, suggesting its potential effectiveness in improving task management in the ED.
Background: Poiseuille's law states flow rates are directly proportional to the radius to the 4th power and indirectly proportional to the length of a tube. Because of this property, large bore catheters are commonly used in the resuscitation of the critically ill patient. However, there are no studies comparing simultaneous use of all three lumens of a triple lumen (TL) central venous catheter (CVC) with other catheter types.
