Acute Coronary Syndrome IV: Interprofessional Care

499
IntroductionThe management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) aims to minimize myocardial damage, preserve myocardial function, and prevent complications.Initial ManagementInpatient management involves continuous cardiac monitoring, preferably in an ICU, focusing on blood pressure, serum sodium, potassium, and creatinine levels, and urine output. Ongoing pharmacologic management is crucial for stabilizing the patient.Supplemental Oxygen: Administer supplemental oxygen if oxygen saturation is...

Acute Kidney Injury V: Interprofessional Care

502
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requires a collaborative healthcare approach to restore renal function and prevent complications. Essential management strategies involve monitoring fluid and electrolyte balance, adjusting medications, initiating dialysis when necessary, and providing nutritional support.Fluid and Electrolyte ManagementFluid Monitoring: Regularly monitoring body weight, central venous pressure, and urine output helps detect fluid imbalances early. Patient intake and output are...

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

709
Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Healthcare Simulation
  • Clinical Communication Skills

Background:

  • Medical simulation is growing in healthcare education.
  • Limited examples exist for rigorously designing simulations to study communication skills in intensive care units (ICUs).
  • Effective conflict management is crucial for ICU clinicians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a medical simulation based on best practices for studying conflict management in ICUs.
  • To assess the feasibility, acceptability, and realism of this simulation among ICU clinicians.

Main Methods:

  • A simulation was developed using best-practice guidelines and a multidisciplinary approach in a tertiary care university hospital ICU.
  • Participants included 36 physicians (intensivists, palliative care specialists, trainees).
  • The simulation involved a patient with an advance directive for no life support and an unwilling surrogate; participants completed surveys and interviews.

Main Results:

  • All participants completed the simulation and perceived conflict with the surrogate (mean score 4.2/10).
  • Participants reported high realism (mean ratings >8/10) across assessed domains.
  • Interviews confirmed high realism and provided suggestions for improvement.

Conclusions:

  • A simulation model was successfully developed to study physician-family conflict in ICUs.
  • The simulation is feasible, acceptable, and realistic for training and research.
  • This model can be used to evaluate communication skills in critical care settings.
