Background: We collected data regarding specific aspects of perioperative surgical education within our institution's Section of Surgical Sciences as a needs assessment.
Methods: Categorical general surgery residents and attending surgeons were queried regarding their perceptions of resident preoperative planning and perioperative communication.
Results: The overall response rate was 81%, with 35 resident and 54 faculty respondents. Residents reported selecting an operative learning objective a median of 50% (IQR 36-67) of the time, whereas attending surgeons perceived this to be the case a median of 26% (IQR 15-35) of the time (P < 0.001). The group reported median frequencies of 20% (IQR 9-31) for preoperative discussion of learning objectives, 12% (IQR 4-27) for preoperative discussion of competence and 27% (IQR 17-55) for postoperative debriefing.
Conclusions: This study demonstrates deficits in resident goal setting and perioperative communication within our program, which are targets for future intervention. We share these results as a potential tool for other programs.

Evaluation of the Pediatric Regional Anesthesia Time-Out Checklist: A Simulation Study.
Paediatr Anaesth
January 2025
University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, Washington, USA.
Introduction: The Society for Pediatric Anesthesia Quality and Safety Committee developed the Pediatric Regional Anesthesia Time-Out Checklist, consisting of 14 safety items intended to be reviewed by an anesthesia team prior to a regional anesthetic. Primarily, we hypothesized that use of this Checklist would increase the number of safety items performed compared with no checklist, evaluating the usefulness of this tool. Secondarily, we hypothesized that, after checklist training, subjects would show better clinical judgment by electing to perform a regional anesthetic in scenarios in which no programmed error existed and electing to not perform a regional anesthetic in scenarios in which a programmed error did exist.

Background: Examination maneuvers used to diagnose developmental hip dysplasia (DDH) translate poorly to video and written curricula. This poses a challenge to teaching the infant hip exam to orthopedic, family medicine, and pediatric trainees. This work investigated the impact of the MiHip simulation-based training program on residents' knowledge, confidence, and exam skills in the simulated setting, and translation of these skills to the clinical setting.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA.
Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is frequently treated arthroscopically with osteoplasty and labral repair. Surgical preferences vary in terms of equipment, technique, and postoperative protocol. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are valuable tools to assess outcomes across different institutions.

Background: Patients who "no-show" (NS) clinical appointments are at a higher risk of poor healthcare outcomes. The objective of this study was to evaluate and characterize the relationship between patient NS prior to primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and 90-day complication risk after THA.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 4147 patients undergoing primary THA.
Association Between Cardiothoracic Fellows and Clinical and Financial Outcomes in Coronary Surgery.
J Surg Res
January 2025
Division of Cardiac Surgery, Department of Cardiovascular Sciences, East Carolina University, Greenville, North Carolina.
Introduction: Mounting financial pressures on academic institutions highlight the need to understand the effect on outcomes from trainee involvement in cardiac surgery. The purpose of this study is to examine the association between cardiothoracic fellows and clinical and financial outcomes in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Methods: Data for all patients from 2017 to 2022 at a single institution who underwent nonemergent, isolated, open CABG were included in the study, with patients grouped by whether there was fellow operative participation.
