SR were associated with reliable and more complete and reliable documentation of items on the RCC. Use of an SR system standardizes operative reporting, providing the opportunity to enhance checklist compliance, and enable timely feedback to improve surgical outcomes for rectal cancer patients.
A 63-year-old male underwent an ascending aortic replacement for an acute type A dissection. Nine days later a fistulous communication between the right coronary sinus and right atrium was identified and surgically repaired. We present a literature review, including the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and surgical management of this rare complication.
Introduction / Innovation Concept: There are numerous research studies in the medical literature, which demonstrate how the experience of a medical residency can contribute towards burnout. The escalating performance pressures and expectations during residency training have the potential to negatively impact upon physician health and clinical performance. The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to test the effectiveness of the High Performance Physician (HPP) program among General Surgery residents at the University of Manitoba with regard to burnout and clinical performance. Methods: This program was delivered over a 9-week period. All 26 residents were asked to complete the Maslach Burnout Inventory -Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS). Each resident then participated as the team leader for a 15-minute trauma resuscitation simulation. Three attending physicians from Surgery & Emergency Medicine assessed resident performance and ability to manage work-based stressors. Following the simulation, each resident received a debrief interview. Once the HPP curriculum had been completed, residents took part in a second high fidelity simulation session and again completed the MBI-HSS. Curriculum, Tool, or Material: The HPP program offered through the Department of Emergency Medicine (EM), is a performance enhancement based curriculum. It is designed to equip physicians with mental skills to help optimize focus, arousal control, stress management, communication, and teamwork. Further, to utilize these skills to cope and respond more effectively to the inherent performance pressures that may present within one's area of specialization. Conclusion: The Emotional Exhaustion domain of the MBI-HSS demonstrated a statistically significant decrease. The other domain scores were not statistically significant. Simulation domain scores did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference in performance between the pre-and post-HPP curriculum simulation sessions. A summative content analysis of the interview data demonstrated that residents believed internal barriers to situational awareness were the most significant impact on performance. Further study is required to determine if differences are seen in long-term follow-up.

Tanguay, MD, MSc, J. Lebon, PhD, F. Bégin, MD; Unité de Coordination Clinique des Services Préhospitaliers d'Urgences (UCCSPU), Lévis, QC Introduction: Background: Ischemic ventricular fibrillation (VF) is highly related to ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Prehospital STEMI patients have been shown to also develop VF during ambulance transport. However, there is limited literature exploring the characteristics of this specific population of VF. Objective: To determine the incidence of pre-hospital VF, and evaluate some demographic and electrocardiogram (ECG) cha...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
