ABSTRACT

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is an obstetric emergency, and training of health-care providers for early diagnosis and intervention improves morbidity and mortality. Regular simulation-based training modules are conducted in our institute for health-care providers. The objective of this study was to assess the final-year medical students on their subjective improvement in the management of PPH after an off-site simulation-based training which was conducted after a conventional lecture. Methods: A survey was administered on medical students and their subjective retrospective analysis of both pre and post off-site simulation was collected. The survey was analyzed, and results were formulated. Results: Forty-six students completed the survey. Although students felt their confidence level in enumerating the steps in management of PPH less than 50% before the drill, it increased to 70% after the drill. The confidence of the students in carrying out the procedures of PPH also increased. The results showed a considerable subjective improvement in skill and cognitive enhancement after an off-site simulation-based training. There was a significant improvement in the pre and postsimulation training scores in the test. The faculty felt that there was an enhancement in learning after the simulation training. Conclusion: Off-site simulation of an emergency condition improves both knowledge and skill in students.

ABSTRACT

A 7-year-old female child was referred to the cornea clinic with a painless, ulcerated, and inflamed nodule near the limbus which did not respond to 1-week antibiotic therapy and worsened on starting topical steroids. Clinical examination showed ulcerative nodular episcleritis and raised a suspicion of herpes simplex virus etiology. The patient responded well and resolved completely on topical antiviral therapy alone.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic surgeries have attained the status of a gold standard for most of the abdominal pathology; we therefore performed this study to assess feasibility and safety of major laparoscopic surgeries like laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH)/total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) under regional anesthesia that is combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSE) with normal pressure pneumoperitoneum using intrathecal fentanyl with bupivacain. METHODS: In a zonal government hospital, 50 patients were selected prospectively for LC and LAVH/TLH, under normal pressure (12 mmHg) pneumoperitoneum and under CSE over a span of fifteen months. Injection bupivacaine (0.5%) and 20 µg of fentanyl were used for spinal anesthesia. Plain bupivacaine (0.5%) was used for epidural anesthesia. RESULTS: We successfully performed the operations in 48 patients without major complications. CSE was converted to general anesthesia in two patients due to distressing shoulder tip pain. Age varied between 25 and 70 years. Duration of operation time (skin to skin) was between 50 and 170 min. Five patients had urinary retention and one developed localized pruritis. There was no incidence of respiratory depression, aspiration or headache. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic surgeries with normal pressure CO2 pneumoperitoneum are feasible and safe under CSE. Incidence of postoperative shoulder pain was minimal due to use of intrathecal fentanyl and complications were less and easily manageable.
