Purpose: Pediatric advanced airway management is a low-frequency but critical procedure, making it challenging for trainees to learn. This study examined the impact of a curriculum integrating prerecorded videos of patient endotracheal intubations on performance related to simulated pediatric intubation.
Method: The authors conducted a randomized controlled educational trial for pediatric residents between January 2015 and June 2016 at Boston Children's Hospital. Investigators collecting data were blinded to the intervention. The control group received a standard didactic curriculum including still images, followed by simulation on airway trainers. The intervention group received a video-enhanced didactic curriculum including deidentified intubation clips recorded using a videolaryngoscope, followed by simulation. The study assessed intubation skills on simulated infant and pediatric airway scenarios of varying difficulty immediately after instruction and at three months.
Results: Forty-nine trainees completed the curriculum: 23 received the video-enhanced curriculum and 26 received the standard curriculum. Median time to successful intubation was 18.5 and 22 seconds in the video-enhanced and standard groups, respectively. Controlling for mannequin age and difficulty, residents receiving the video-enhanced curriculum successfully intubated faster (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: 1.65 [1.25, 2.19]). Video-enhanced curriculum participants also demonstrated decreased odds of requiring multiple attempts and of esophageal intubation. At three-month follow-up, residents who received the video-enhanced curriculum remained faster at intubation (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: 1.93 [1.23, 3.02]).
Conclusions: Integrating videos of patient intubations into an airway management curriculum improved participating pediatric residents' intubation performance on airway trainers with sustained improvement at three months.

Epidemiological research over the past two decades has highlighted substance use disparities that affect Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander youth, and the lack of effective approaches to address such disparities (Okamoto et al., 2019). The Ho'ouna Pono curriculum is a culturally grounded, teacher-implemented, video-enhanced substance use prevention program that has demonstrated efficacy in rural Hawai'i in a large-scale trial (Okamoto et al.

Objectives: Children with physical disabilities (CWPD) have historically experienced inadequate and insensitive care across medical settings. A lack of comfort and knowledge about CWPD is prevalent among healthcare provider trainees. We developed a new, readily distributable educational resource about CWPD for healthcare students and conducted a study to determine its efficacy in improving their attitudes toward CWPD.

Methods: Curriculum development consisted of semistructured interviews with 12 pediatric emergency medicine attendings with varying levels of airway expertise analyzed using a constructivist grounded theory approach.

Aim: We examined the effectiveness of a video-enhanced education package in improving caregiver outcomes (number of steps at first feeding attempt, time to achieve competency and knowledge) compared to the current institutional training approach.
Design: Quasi-experiment.
Methods: From August 2016-June 2017, we recruited 112 caregivers in a Singaporean tertiary hospital.

Background: Use of interprofessional education has greatly expanded and is widely used to foster interprofessional collaborative practice competency in health professionals, especially during medical emergencies. Identifying the interprofessional education delivery mode that can maximize learning outcomes within available resources is crucial for achieving the sustainability of an interprofessional education program.
Objectives: To examine the learning outcomes of simulation-based interprofessional education and video-enhanced interactive discussion interprofessional education modules and to analyze the variable costs between these two interprofessional education modules.
