The Critical Care Section of the American Academy of Pediatrics, in conjunction with the Pediatric Section of the Society of Critical Care Medicine, is again sponsoring an informal fellowship match program for Pediatric Critical Care. This program is designed to be of service to fellowship applicants who have not yet secured a position for the academic year 1995-96, as well as to program directors who still have vacant positions available. For further information, applicants and program directors should contact Dr Greg Stidham by phone (901/572-3132) or in writing at the following address:

ABSTRACT Background Management of mechanical ventilation (MV) is an important and complex aspect of caring for critically ill patients. Management strategies and technical operation of the ventilator are key skills for physicians in training, as lack of expertise can lead to substantial patient harm. Objective We performed a narrative review of the literature describing MV education in graduate medical education (GME) and identified best practices for training and assessment methods. Methods We searched MEDLINE, PubMed, and Google Scholar for English-language, peer-reviewed articles describing MV education and assessment. We included articles from 2000 through July 2018 pertaining to MV education or training in GME. Results Fifteen articles met inclusion criteria. Studies related to MV training in anesthesiology, emergency medicine, general surgery, and internal medicine residency programs, as well as subspecialty training in critical care medicine, pediatric critical care medicine, and pulmonary and critical care medicine. Nearly half of trainees assessed were dissatisfied with their MV education. Six studies evaluated educational interventions, all employing simulation as an educational strategy, although there was considerable heterogeneity in content. Most outcomes were assessed with multiple-choice knowledge testing; only 2 studies evaluated the care of actual patients after an educational intervention. Conclusions There is a paucity of information describing MV education in GME. The available literature demonstrates that trainees are generally dissatisfied with MV training. Best practices include establishing MV-specific learning objectives and incorporating simulation. Next research steps include developing competency standards and validity evidence for assessment tools that can be utilized across MV educational curricula.

Abstract Background There has been a declining national trend in recent years of resident applications to Infectious Disease (ID) fellowship programs. This dearth of interested and available applicants has resulted in many programs failing to fill some or all of their fellowship slots. Our ID fellowship program, founded in 2013 at Allegheny General Hospital, had met with similar difficulty. Methods To increase the recruitment pool of candidates and combat the challenge to fill our positions, we incorporated a combined 3 year ID-Critical Care Medicine (CCM) track in 2016, initially with one of our two annual fellowship slots allotted to this track. This entailed a collaborative effort between the ID and CCM divisions, an internal application completion outlining the need and rationale for this combined program, and finally, approval from the institutional as well as the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Results The number of applicants interviewed from 2013 to 2016 for ID (pre-inception of the ID-CCM track), as well as those for ID, ID-CCM, or those interviewing for both tracks following 2016, were counted. We noted a consistent increasing trend in the numbers interviewed for both the ID (4, 8, and 12 total applicants) and ID-CCM (4, 10, and 12 total applicants) tracks over the three since the inception of our combined fellowship program; 3 additional applicants in years 2017 and 2018, and 5 in 2019, expressed interest in either ID or ID-CCM (Graph 1). This favorably amounted to filling our training positions. Conclusion Implementation of a combined ID-CCM fellowship program proved to be a viable strategy to increase the number of applicants at our institution. Given the success of having one dually-accredited slot, we have expanded the combined-track to both positions. As the first fully-integrated ID-CCM fellowship program in the country, we may be pioneering this novel training pathway for future physicians. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Palliative Care Education

Abstract Background Intensive care unit (ICU) use at the end of life is rising. Little research has focused on associations among critical care fellows' training, institutional support, and bedside tools with ICU use at the end of life. Objective We evaluated whether hospital and critical care medicine program interventions were associated with ICU use in the last 6 months of life for patients with chronic illness. Methods Our observational, retrospective study explored associations between results from a survey of critical care program directors and hospital-level Medicare data on ICU use in the last 6 months of life. Program directors evaluated quality of palliative care education in their critical care fellowships and reported on the number of bedside tools and the presence or absence of an inpatient palliative care consultation service. Results For the 89 hospitals and 71 affiliated training programs analyzed, there were statistically significant relationships between 2 of the explanatory variables—the quality of palliative care education and the number of bedside tools—in ICU use. Each level of increased educational quality (1–5 Likert scale) was associated with a 0.57-day decrease in ICU days, whereas, for each additional, evidence-based bedside tool, there was a 0.31-day decrease. The presence of an inpatient palliative care program was not a significant predictor of ICU use. Conclusions We found that the quality of palliative care training in critical care medicine programs and the use of bedside tools were independently associated with reduced ICU use at the end of life.
