Awarding CPD / CME in surgical simulation

 

Objectives:

  1. Understand the importance of CPD / CME in surgical education
  2. Understand strategies to implement CPD / CME in surgical education
  3. Apply & execute, with examples, of CPD / CME awarding in surgical simulation via the LapAR & TOTUM platform

Content Description:

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) or Continuing Medical Education (CME) points are an essential part of healthcare education – especially in surgical training – as this provides a standardised and structured opportunity to stay up-to-date.

Maintaining and improving skills and knowledge is crucial not only for providing the highest-quality patient care, but also to help surgeons meet regulatory, accreditation and revalidation of professional license requirements.

Beyond basic requirements, a clear commitment by the surgeon to upkeep CPD / CME points can enhance reputation and career prospects. It can also provide a platform to share knowledge and experiences with peers, as well as open up doors to networking and new trends in research.

As we discovered in previous Learning Labs, simulation-based training for surgical procedures has been gaining even more traction in the last few years on a background of steady growth in the last decade. It has proven to be an effective and safe learning environment to perform and record a range of settings from basic tasks to full procedures.

With the more recent advent of ‘digital surgery’, the delivery of training in the live theatre environment is changing significantly giving way to a plethora of emerging technologies that are allowing surgical training to be ‘connected’ in ways never previously imagined – including remotely certifying CPD / CME points!


In this Virtual Learning Lab, we will show you strategies to implement CPD / CME awarding within surgical simulation settings, including specific examples.

We hope that you will be able to take away something new from this Learning Lab that can be applied to your own surgical simulation settings!

The Value of Simulated Medications Versus Expire Medications  in Clinical Training

 

Learning objectives:
  1. How to save valuable educator time with simulated medications vs expired meds or “homemade meds”
  2. How simulated medications reduce overall costs, even if receiving “free” expired meds for training
  3. How simulated medication training improves medical practitioners’ competencies, cuts down on errors, improves patient safety and ultimately helps save lives

 

Content Description:

Simulated Medications Overview

Medical Errors are the 3rd leading cause of death in hospitals, and one of highest medical errors is medication errors.

“Medication administration errors are typically thought of as a failure in one of the five “rights” of medication administration (right patient, medication, time, dose, and route). These five “rights” have been historically incorporated into the nursing curriculum as the standard processes to ensure safe medication administration. Recent literature, however, has emphasized that medication administration is part of a complex medication use process, in which a multidisciplinary care team works together to ensure patient-centered care delivery. As such, it has been emphasized that the five “rights” do not ensure administration safety as a standalone process. Therefore, four additional “rights” were proposed to include right documentation, action/reason, form, and response.

As modern healthcare delivery systems continue to evolve, emphasis on system design (i.e. technology & clinical workflows) has become a priority to complement the medication administration process. System-related causes of medication administration errors may include inadequate training, distractors, convoluted processes, and system misconfiguration.”

Training with simulated medications has been proven to have many advantages which help improve medical practitioners' competencies, and in return, improve patient safety and reduce health care costs.

Medical simulation allows the acquisition of clinical skills through hands-on practice rather than an apprentice style of learning.

 

  • Better Tools = Better Learning
  • Learning the “Rights of Medication Administration” with true-to-life tools
  • The value of accurate expiration dates
  • Medication names spelled in full (versus truncated names)
  • Barcoded simulated medications
  • Distilled water vs. sodium chloride in simulated medications for use with HPS’s
  • Safety measures, authorization forms, enhanced product warning and product-use protocols surrounding simulated meds
  • Expired “controlled substances” not an option so simulated versions are critical
  • Full simulation protocols versus mixing “real” and “simulated”

 

  • Time & cost saving for educators
  • Mistakes are more costly than supplies
  • Valuable educator time being used for filling, re-filling, labeling, etc.
  • Value of realism and quality in simulated products
  • Already overly taxed/stressed clinicians and clinical educators trying to recreate meds
  • Time-saving partnerships (medication management systems & simulated EHR/MAR systems)
  • Availability of real/expired meds
  • Changes in current protocols, best practices & simulation standardizations

 

  • Benefits of Learning through Simulation
  • Reproducible curriculum for all trainees/learners
  • Instant performance feedback
  • Improved psychomotor skills through repetition
  • Enhanced clinical decision making
  • Fostering of multidisciplinary teamwork

Using simulation technology to enhance hemorrhage control training

Trauma is the leading cause of death from age 1 to 34 years and is the fifth leading cause of death overall in the USA, with uncontrolled hemorrhage being the leading cause of potentially preventable death.

Innovations in the medical simulation field can improve our ability to control exsanguinating hemorrhages and be potentially lifesaving, whether in a civilian or military setting.

Civilian trauma training, such as Advanced Trauma Life Support and courses such as STOP THE BLEED, as well as military training for combat casualty care, can take advantage of modern simulators to empower teachers and students so they're better prepared during emergencies.

For this Virtual Learning Lab, besides trauma limbs with different injuries and a wide range of traumatic wounds, we'll also use our blood pump Hemorrhage-X to provide realistic arterial and venous bleeding with adjustable bleeding flow and pulse rate.

MEDICAL-X acknowledges that training emergency providers skills in trauma-related hemorrhage control is paramount.

That's why we aim to offer realistic trauma scenarios with life-like simulators to make their training an even more immersive and memorable experience, building their confidence and improving patient outcomes.

Objective:

By using our products focused on trauma training, we'll present massive bleeding scenarios showing different kinds of exercises that are possible to perform:

  1. Applying direct pressure to different types and locations of trauma injuries;
  2. Packing a deep wound;
  3. Using a tourniquet in severe traumatic injuries to the lower extremity.
