AI Article Synopsis
- Some people with sleep apnoea need help learning how to use CPAP machines, which can take a lot of time for patients and doctors.
- This study tested if watching a video at home could be as good as getting instructions from a nurse in person.
- The results showed that both ways of learning were similar, so using videos is a good option for teaching patients.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Instructing newly diagnosed sleep apnoea patients in the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines is time consuming for healthcare workers and patients alike. Our aim was to test the feasibility of video instruction as an alternative to physical attendance in the clinic.
Methods: In this randomised controlled trial, we enrolled 120 patients who were randomised to either classic instruction by a nurse or video instruction at home. Both patients and doctors answered questionnaires at the time of inclusion. Follow-up was 1-3 months.
Results: No significant difference was recorded between the two groups on any measured parameter.
Conclusions: Video instruction is feasible and should be considered as an alternative to physical attendance for the CPAP start-up.
Funding: none.
Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov (NCT number 15022020).

Background: The quality of Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillations (AED) treatment provided by individual practitioners is the most important factor in surviving an in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA); therefore, healthcare professionals (HCPs) require sufficient resuscitation competency. This study aimed to analyze the effects of a blended team-based CPR and AED simulation training (riAniMO program) on HCPs performance, satisfaction and perception on transferability, and costs.
Methods: The riAniMO is based on a multimedia training program with video lessons and a virtual CPR resuscitation simulation, and a team-based CPR and AED simulation.

From the Department of Surgery, NorthShore University Health System, Evanston, IL.
Background: Hernia repairs are one of the most common general surgery procedures and an essential part of training for general surgery residents. The widespread incorporation of robotic hernia repairs warrants the development of a procedure-specific robotic curriculum to assist novice surgeons in improving technical skills.
Objective: To evaluate a robotic hernia simulation-based curriculum for general surgery residents using video review.

December 2024
Research Department, Reha Rheinfelden, Rheinfelden, Switzerland.
Background: Exergames are interactive technology-based exercise programs. By combining physical and cognitive training components, they aim to preserve independence in older adults and reduce their risk of falling. This study explored whether primary end users (PEU, healthy older adults and patients with neurological and geriatric diagnoses) and secondary end users (SEU, health professionals) evaluated the ExerG functional model to be usable, providing a positive experience and therefore acceptable.
