Number Of Injections

The demand for performing intravitreal injections has increased in recent years, prompting the need for more nurse training in their administration. The Great Western Hospitals NHS Trust in Swindon has developed a structured nurse training programme and now has 8 independent nurse injectors trained to undertake injections independently; nurse practitioners now contribute upwards of 85% of the total number of injections. The authors have also demonstrated the financial benefits of using injection assistant devices and shown the positive impact such devices have on training. In September 2019, the authors organised the first course to offer nurses and doctors hands-on experience in administering injections, using the Swindon training model to provide participants with a structured approach to learn how to perform intravitreal injections safely. Nurses made up 96% of participants; the remainder were doctors and managers; 6% had never performed an intravitreal injection; of units where they had, disposable drapes and a speculum were used in 71% of these. The number of injections performed per session at participants' units at the time they attended the course was: 17 or more injections=46%, 13–14=39%, and 11–12=15%. The course was rated 8.9/10 overall for content, with 85% very likely to recommend it to colleagues. All participants indicated that using the Swindon model made them feel confident to deliver injections safely. The authors demonstrated that using a structured training protocol and intravitreal assistant device improves the quality of nurse training and increases confidence in administering intravitreal injections.

Objective: Robotic surgery presents the state of the art surgical techniques in the era of minimally invasive surgery. A nurse’s role in surgery has been altered with the development of robotics. Our unique program at Polk State College in Florida was a robotic nursing program in which we certified nurses after a great deal of training. In this study our goal was to assess the survey outcomes of this program and to see if there was room for any improvements. Materials and Methods: We have successfully completed 4 three-day courses. During these courses we trained a total of 30 nurses and technicians. This special three-day course involved learning through online modules, didactic education, hands on training, and live surgery. We asked for their response to various questions about the course through an online survey. The trainees were asked to rank the questions about the program. Results: We obtained 20 out of 30 responses from our certified trainees. Seventy-five percent of the certified trainees agree that this robotics nursing program has helped them advance in a career. Overall, 85% of the certified trainees stated that this program was beneficial to them, and 95% agree that they would recommend this robotic nursing program to others. Conclusion: This survey demonstrated a well-designed robotics nurse-training program might help trainees to gain robotic skills. Also, they declared that their certification helped them make some kind of advance in their career.

The Impact

Objective This course was designed to characterize the impact of a curriculum for training family medicine physicians in advanced airway techniques with respect to intubation performance and learner confidence. Methods A training course was introduced into the curriculum in a single-group pretest-posttest model at a community family medicine residency program. Training consisted of a didactic teaching session on airway management and hands-on skill session with direct laryngoscopy (DL) and video-assisted laryngoscopy (VAL) on normal and difficult airway simulators. Participants were scored with the Intubation Difficulty Scale and completed surveys before and after the training. Results Twenty-eight residents of all levels participated. The mean time to successful intubation was significantly decreased after training from 51.96 to 23.71 seconds for DL and from 27.89 to 17.07 seconds for VAL. Participant scores with the Intubation Difficulty Scale were also significantly improved for DL and VAL. All participants rated their comfort levels with both techniques as high following training. Discussion Advanced airway management is a critical skill for any physician involved in caring for critically ill patients, though few trainees receive formal training. Addition of an airway training course with simulation and hands-on experience can improve trainee proficiency and comfort with advanced airway techniques. Implications for Practice Training on airway management should be included in the curriculum for trainees who require the requisite skills and knowledge necessary for advanced airway interventions. This introductory project demonstrates the efficacy and feasibility of a relatively brief training as part of a family medicine residency curriculum.

Objective: studying some specifics of providing training in preparing a person for choosing the right solution in the face of most probable emergencies against the background of growing manmade activities of modern society, more frequent destructive natural calamities, political, interracial and military conflicts for the purpose of ensuring human health and safety. In the higher school, such training is conducted in studying a compulsory general professional subject called “Health and safety training course” that takes its rightful place in a set of subjects where life and health are of the first priority on the human values scale and is compulsory for all educational institutions irrespective of their specialization profile. Methods: The subjects of the theoretical part of the course may be of a general nature and be prepared by a lecturer based on a tentative syllabus of the course. At the same time, practical training and laboratory practicals in the course may be conducted as part of the teaching practice of 280401 “Technosphere safety” graduate students that have as a rule had higher education as a bachelor’s degree in the major during their senior years. Results: An extensive list of university majors requires a reasonable approach to choosing subjects for practical training and laboratory practicals in the “Health and safety training course”. It has a special significance in deciding on students’ research papers. Practical importance: A wide variety of subjects in the above training is a singularly burning issue in conducting hands-on training sessions for engineering students and also humanities or economics students in the higher education system (a bachelor’s degree, specialist degree).

The Impact

Abstract Background: Due to the growing interest in regional anesthesia (RA) techniques and the realization of the need for formalized education in them, the Greek Chapter of the European Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Therapy (ESRA-Hellas) has established a structured hands-on training Course held annually since 2009, which is quite popular in the community of Greek anesthesiologists. The aim of the current survey was two-fold: first to provide an overview about the current practice of RA in Greece and secondly to evaluate the effect the aforementioned training Course has on participants’ knowledge and attitude towards RA.Methods: An electronic questionnaire was uploaded on SurveyMonkey and a link giving access to the questionnaire was forwarded via email to an electronic database of 825 practicing Greek anesthesiologists held in the electronic database of ESRA Hellas. The survey was totally anonymous and no identifying information was collected throughout. It contained questions relating to the anesthesiologists’ demographic characteristics, their RA practice and information pertaining to the RA training Course.Results: A total of 424 fully completed questionnaires were received, representing an overall response rate of 51.4%. Attendants of the Course are more familiar with the performance of peripheral nerve blocks with neurostimulation and/or ultrasound guidance as compared to non-attendants (p<0.001). Attendants are also less likely to practice exclusively general anesthesia, more likely to use peripheral blocks for lower limb surgery and more likely to consider taking the European Diploma of RA in comparison to non-attendants (p<0.001, p=0.018 and p=0,002, respectively). Both cohorts consider the Course of value and agree that the main reason to use regional techniques is to ensure optimal postoperative analgesia while the main hindrance to RA practice is the lack of relevant education in the techniques, especially those under ultrasound guidance. Regarding improvement of the Course, most participants suggested devoting ampler time in ultrasound hands-on practice and application.Conclusion: Greek anesthesiologists seek educational activities in the field of RA and the Course seems to fulfil the majority of attendants’ expectations. There will be further effort by the organizers to improve weaknesses of the current Course and undertake further educational initiatives in the field of RA according to international recommendations.

Help Systems

Following a training course where 15 entry operators received hands-on experience with a software application package and its help screens, questionnaires which included 34 help screen features to be rated as to their importance, was administered. Examining the ratings in terms of features which were included in the current help screens indicated that users were reasonably satisfied with the help screens except in two unimplemented areas: intelligent help and the ability to access all help screens from anywhere in the system. The same items were then rated by a sample of 15 software developers. Results showed that the two sets of ratings differed significantly. Examinations of individual items suggested that developers tended to place more emphasis on technical implementation of help systems, while users tended to be more concerned with items directly related to their jobs, such as the existence of step-by-step instructions and the ability to restore the entry screen.
