Summary
This study shows blended learning significantly boosts physician confidence in Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI). The program improved self-reported skills and satisfaction for emergency medicine professionals.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Emergency Medicine
- Simulation-Based Training
Background:
- Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) is a critical emergency procedure with standardization challenges.
- A multinational workforce requires effective, adaptable training solutions.
- Tertiary emergency care settings face unique educational hurdles for high-risk procedures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate a blended-learning program for Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI).
- To assess the program's impact on physician self-reported confidence and perceived educational value.
- To understand the effectiveness of combining online modules with simulation.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective evaluation of a blended-learning RSI curriculum (2020-2022).
- Program combined asynchronous online modules and a 4-hour simulation session.
- Anonymous post-program survey assessed pre-post confidence and satisfaction.
Main Results:
- Significant increase in high confidence (22.2% to 93.4%) and decrease in low confidence (77.8% to 6.6%).
- Simulation-based sessions received high satisfaction (mean 4.3/5).
- Qualitative feedback emphasized value of realistic simulation and standardized tools.
Conclusions:
- Blended learning RSI programs enhance physician confidence and satisfaction.
- This educational model is feasible and valuable for high-risk procedural training.
- Further research could explore objective performance measures.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques
697
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management
818
Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned...

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care
563
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...

Endotracheal Intubation II: Nursing Management
3.0K
Endotracheal intubation is a critical procedure that can be lifesaving for many patients with respiratory distress or failure. The role of nursing in managing endotracheal tubes is pivotal, as it involves pre-intubation preparation, assisting during the procedure, and post-extubation care.
