Objectives: Video-assisted debriefing (VAD) of real-life obstetrical emergencies provides an opportunity to improve quality of care, but is rarely used in clinical practice. A barrier for implementation is the expected mental reservations among healthcare providers. The aim of this study was to explore healthcare providers' perceptions and expectations of VAD of real-life events.

Setting: Participants were recruited from two Labour and Delivery Units in Denmark. In both units, VAD of real-life obstetrical emergencies had never been conducted.

Participants: 22 healthcare providers (10 physicians, 9 midwives and 3 nursing assistants). During the study period (August-October 2021), semi-structured, individual interviews were conducted. Interviews were analysed using thematic analysis.

Primary And Secondary Outcome Measures: A qualitative description of healthcare providers' perceptions and expectations of VAD of real-life events.

Results: Three major themes were identified: (1) All participants expected VAD to provide an opportunity for learning and improving patient care. All participants expected the video to provide a 'bigger picture', by showing 'what was actually done' instead of 'what we believed was done'. (2) The primary concern for all participants was the risk of being exposed as less competent. Participants were concerned that being confronted with every minor detail of their clinical practice would enhance their self-criticalness. (3) Participants emphasised the importance of organisational support from management. In addition, creating a safe environment for VAD, for example, by using only expert debriefers was considered an essential precondition for successful implementation.

Conclusions: The risk of being exposed as less competent was a barrier towards VAD of real-life events. However, the majority found the educational benefits to outweigh the risk of being exposed.

Introduction: In Northern Europe, vacuum-assisted delivery (VAD) accounts for 6-15% of all deliveries; VAD is considered safe when conducted by adequately trained personnel. However, failed vacuum extraction can be harmful to both the mother and child. Therefore, the clinical performance in VAD must be assessed to guide learning, determine a performance benchmark, and evaluate the quality to achieve an overall high performance.

Background: Video-assisted debriefing (VAD) combined with the advocacy and inquiry (A&I) technique is a tool that allows video playback of selected segments of a simulation, thereby helping the debriefers structure the session. However, no consensus exists on how to optimally perform a team debriefing. The authors demonstrate and describe the methodology of A&I debriefing in an instructional simulated blast scenario and assess the impact of VAD on residents' technical and nontechnical skills.

Background: Vascular dementia (VaD) is the most severe manifestation of cognitive impairment caused by cerebrovascular disease. There are currently no specific drug treatments approved for VaD, with cholinesterase inhibitors (AChEI) being frequently used in VaD. However, the benefits they provide are small and short-lived.

Purpose: Various biomarkers have been proposed for sunitinib therapy in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). However, the lack of "real-life" comparative studies hampers the selection of the most appropriate one. We, therefore, set up a pharmacometric simulation framework to compare each proposed biomarker.
