RESUMEN
@#BACKGROUND: Ischemic stroke refers to a disorder in the blood supply to a local area of brain tissue for various reasons and is characterized by high morbidity, mortality, and disability. Early reperfusion of brain tissue at risk of injury is crucial for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. The purpose of this study was to evaluate comfort levels in managing acute stroke patients with hypoxemia who required endotracheal intubation after multidisciplinary in situ simulation training and to shorten the door-to-image time. METHODS: This quality improvement project utilized a comprehensive multidisciplinary in situ simulation exercise. A total of 53 participants completed the two-day in situ simulation training. The main outcome was the self-reported comfort levels of participants in managing acute stroke patients with hypoxemia requiring endotracheal intubation before and after simulation training. A 5-point Likert scale was used to measure participant comfort. A paired-sample t-test was used to compare the mean self-reported comfort scores of participants, as well as the endotracheal intubation time and door-to-image time on the first and second days of in situ simulation training. The door-to-image time before and after the training was also recorded. RESULTS: The findings indicated that in situ simulation training could enhance participant comfort when managing acute stroke patients with hypoxemia who required endotracheal intubation and shorten door-to-image time. For the emergency management of hypoxemia or tracheal intubation, the mean post-training self-reported comfort score was significantly higher than the mean pre-training comfort score (hypoxemia: 4.53±0.64 vs. 3.62±0.69, t= -11.046, P<0.001; tracheal intubation: 3.98±0.72 vs. 3.43±0.72, t= -6.940, P<0.001). We also observed a decrease in the tracheal intubation and door-to-image time and a decreasing trend in the door-to-image time, which continued after the training. CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates that the implementation of in situ simulation training in a clinical environment with a multidisciplinary approach may improve the ability and confidence of stroke team members, optimize the first-aid process, and effectively shorten the door-to-image time of stroke patients with emergency complications.
RESUMEN
El proceso de docencia-aprendizaje de las disciplinas clínicas tiene entre sus desafíos la adquisición de habilidades del estudiante con el paciente. Las oportunidades de prácticas clínicas se han reducido. La menor cantidad de consultas pediátricas en el año 2020 durante la pandemia por Coronoavirus exacerbó este hecho. Objetivo: Comunicar la experiencia de simulación in situ y madre simulada realizada por docentes del Departamento de Emergencia Pediátrica del Centro Hospitalario Pereira Rossell, dirigida al entrenamiento de estudiantes de la Unidad Curricular Pediatría (Facultad de Medicina-UdelaR), en la realización de la anamnesis de un paciente con patología respiratoria. Metodología: estudio descriptivo. Madre simulada: docentes/residentes. Simulador: lactante-tecnología intermedia. Participantes del escenario: 2 estudiantes. Lugar: DEP-CHPR. Período: setiembre-diciembre 2020. Resultados: Participaron de la simulación 327 estudiantes, 255 contestaron el censo. Utilidad de la simulación: 53,2% muy útil/excelente, poco o nada útil 24,8%, no contesta 22%. Credibilidad: aceptable 38%, muy creíble/excelente 27,5%, 12,5% poco o nada creíble, 22% no contesta. Participación grupal en el debriefing 64,5%, participación parcial 11,4%, sin debriefing 2,1%, no contesta 22%.Discusión: De los 327 estudiantes que realizaron la simulación al menos 24,% la percibió como poco o nada útil. La falta de información previa, la participación en el escenario de 2 estudiantes por grupo y la poca interacción en el debriefing en algunos grupos pudo haber influído. Conclusiones: La experiencia comunicada generó nuevas oportunidades de docencia aprendizaje. Se identificaron aspectos metodológicos que pueden mejorarse.
The teaching-learning process in clinical disciplines includes amongst its challenges the acquisition of the student's skills with the patient. Opportunities for clinical practice have diminished. A smaller number of pediatric visits in 2020 during the Coronavirus pandemic increased this fact. Objective: to communicate the experience of in situ simulation and simulated mother carried out by the faculty of the Pediatric Emergency Department of the Pereira Rossell Hospital Center, address to students in the Pediatrics Curricular Unit (School of Medicine- UdelaR), in the case of an infant patient with respiratory pathology. Methods: Descriptive study. Simulated mother: faculty members/residents. Simulator: intermediate technology infant. Participants in the scenario: 2 students. Location: DPE.PRHC. Period: September- December 2020.Results: 327 students participated in the simulation, 255 answered the census. Usefulness of the simulation: 53.2% very useful / excellent, little or not at all useful 24.8%, no answer 22%. Credibility: acceptable 38%, very credible / excellent 27.5%, 12.5% ââlittle or not at all credible, 22% do not answer. Group participation in the debriefing 64.5%, partial participation 11.4%, without debriefing 2.1%, no answer 22%. Discussion: Of the 327 students who carried out the simulation at least 24,8 % perceived it as little or not useful. The lack of previous information, the participation in the scenario of 2 students per group and the little interaction in the debriefing in some groups could have influenced. Conclusions: The communicated experience generated new teaching-learning opportunities. Methodological aspects that can be improved were identified.
