Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Area of Science:

Orthopaedic Surgery Education
Surgical Skills Training
Medical Residency Programs

Background:

The transition from PGY2 to PGY3 involves increased resident autonomy in surgical procedures.
Existing training models focus on foundational skills, with a need for mid-residency skill assessment.
The University of Iowa previously established a successful PGY1 surgical skills rotation.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish and evaluate a dedicated surgical skills rotation for PGY2 orthopaedic residents.
To assess and enhance residents' technical proficiency in key surgical areas.
To ensure residents are prepared for advanced responsibilities in their PGY3 year.

Main Methods:

Implemented a week-long PGY2 surgical skills rotation.
Included faculty-led training and assessment in joint arthroplasty, trauma, arthroscopy, and wire navigation.
Conducted structured performance evaluations on the final day to establish proficiency benchmarks.

Main Results:

The rotation provided dedicated practice and opportunities for skill improvement.
Faculty-led sessions focused on level-appropriate skills for the PGY2 level.
Structured evaluations assessed resident proficiency in fundamental orthopaedic technical skills.

Conclusions:

The PGY2 surgical skills rotation effectively trains and evaluates residents before their PGY3 year.
This program serves as a model for other institutions seeking to optimize surgical education.
It ensures a smoother transition for residents assuming greater surgical leadership.
