Abstract Background: Interprofessional teamwork is essential for patient outcomes in emergency medicine; yet, effective training in this area is scarce. Virtual reality (VR) provides a promising, resource-efficient solution for simulating..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Medical education often aims to improve either technical skills (TS) or ‘non-technical skills’ (NTS) and how these skills influence adverse events and patient safety. The two skill sets..
Read MoreAbstract Background Interprofessional simulation-based team training (ISBTT) is commonly used to optimize interprofessional teamwork in healthcare. The literature documents the benefits of ISBTT, yet effective interprofessional collaboration continues to be..
Read MoreAbstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced medical technology that is used to treat respiratory and heart failure. The U.S. military has used ECMO in the care of..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES Adequate theoretical and practical training of prospective clinical perfusionists is essential for maintaining clinical standards and ensuring patient safety during cardiac surgery procedures. Perfusion schools play a crucial..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction The use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for refractory cardiac arrest is increasing globally. However, providing equity of access to all patients is challenging, and to date, access has been..
Read MoreAbstract Background Increasing regulations and requirements of advisory bodies, in particular the Joint Federal Committee and the Medical Service of the health insurance funds, make it necessary to employ only..
Read MoreAbstract Background: In the absence of uniform European regulations, there have been many differences in the training of perfusionists across Europe. Furthermore, there has been no uniform or single European accreditation..
Read MoreAbstract Over the past 10 years, there has been an increase in the use of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) as a tool to support and enhance learning in health profession programs. In..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Development of a high-fidelity cardiac surgery simulator (CSS) requires integration of a heart model with a mock cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit that can provide feedback to mimic the..
Read MoreAbstract Background Cardiopulmonary bypass is a specialized technique requiring high technical skills and generic competencies. Methods The Virtual Perfusionist is a 3-dimensional serious game for training nurses in cardiopulmonary bypass..
