LearnENT, an educational app for iOS, was developed to promote a standardized experience otolaryngology in head and neck surgery (OTOHNS) for University of Ottawa medical students. Its development was grounded in pedagogical theory including Laurillard’s design process, Honey and Mumford’s learning styles, and Nielsen’s theory of usability. This paper examines LearnENT's design and development processes as well as the role of mobile apps in medical education. Features of the LearnENT app as they apply to Constructivist learning are also highlighted.

ABSTRACT Head and neck structures govern the vital functions of breathing and swallowing. Additionally, these structures facilitate our sense of self through vocal communication, hearing, facial animation, and physical appearance. Loss of these functions can lead to loss of life or greatly affect quality of life. Regenerative medicine is a rapidly developing field that aims to repair or replace damaged cells, tissues, and organs. Although the field is largely in its nascence, regenerative medicine holds promise for improving on conventional treatments for head and neck disorders or providing therapies where no current standard exists. This review presents milestones in the research of regenerative medicine in head and neck surgery.

This topic aims to discuss key aspects of anesthetic and airway management for head and neck surgery. Airway management is a central part of patient care and management in Head and Neck Surgery. Common challenges in Head and Neck surgery are shared airway, distorted airway anatomy due to existing pathology; risk of airway obstruction, disconnection or loss of airway intra-operatively; risk of soiling of the airway due to bleeding and surgical debris; and the potential for airway compromise post-operatively. The option for airway management technique is influenced by patient’s factors, anesthetic needs, and surgical requirements. Intubation technique necessitating either a small or large cuffed tracheal tube with a throat pack provides the highest level of airway protection Non-intubation or open airway techniques involve mask ventilation, apneic techniques, and insufflation techniques, or the use of a laryngeal mask airway. Lastly, jet ventilation techniques may be conducted via a supraglottic, subglottic or transtracheal routes. It is essential to have clear airway management plans including rescue airway strategies that should be communicated with the surgeons and patients at the earliest opportunity.

Value Based Care

Decision making in health care is complex, and substantial uncertainty can be involved. Structured, systematic approaches to the integration of available evidence, assessment of uncertainty, and determination of choice are of significant benefit in an era of “value-based care.” This is especially true for otolaryngology–head and neck surgery, where technological advancements are frequent and applicable to an array of subspecialties. Decision analysis aims to achieve these goals through various modeling techniques, including (1) decision trees, (2) Markov process, (3) microsimulation, and (4) discrete event simulation. While decision models have been used for decades, many clinicians and researchers continue to have difficulty deciphering them. In this review, we present an overview of various decision analysis modeling techniques, their purposes, how they can be interpreted, and commonly used syntax to promote understanding and use of these approaches. Throughout, we provide a sample research question to facilitate discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of each technique.
