A COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF SELECTION PROCESSES FOR HELICOPTER EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE PARAMEDICS IN AUSTRALASIA “In physically demanding occupations such as emergency services, it is vital to establish selection processes that incorporate formal physical employment standards (PES). This ensures that successful applicants possess the physical requirements to cope with elevated work-related stress while minimizing the risk of injury” “The generalization of PES beyond a single service requires the analysis of critical tasks using similar equipment, clothing, and techniques at the same intensity, frequency, and duration. A critical job task analysis performed in ground-based paramedic services across Canada revealed that many, if not all, of the same tasks were being performed across services, only at different frequencies based on their demographics. Furthermore, a comparison between tasks completed by an Australian and Canadian ambulance service identified mutual tasks of high physiological intensity (eg, patient transfer tasks) that were similar in difficulty and rating of perceived exertion. Although these findings suggest meaningful similarity between international services, no formal comparison of job requirements, task demands, expectations, and selection processes across services has been performed in HEMS to date.” “This study consolidates the selection processes and physical assessments of 9 HEMS in Australia and New Zealand. We found that service demographics and service selection processes varied markedly, with a spectrum of physical assessments described. Although job tasks are likely to be similar, only 1 service had performed a formal job task analysis or demonstrated how their assessments matched their possible job tasks.” “To explain discrepancies between demographics and selection processes, participants indicated that there is often emphasis placed on post selection training, as opposed to preselection evaluation of readiness to work. This rhetoric of post selection training may however place employees, organizations, and patients at risk, when capacity to perform the job has not been verified during selection.” https://lnkd.in/ehd_MSH6

RETAIN Neonatal Resuscitation Digital Game Simulator for L&D Staff published in MDPI - Children Objective: To ascertain whether participants enjoyed the RETAIN digital game simulator and whether it was at least as good as a video lecture at refreshing and maintaining participants’ neonatal resuscitation knowledge. Methods: randomized controlled simulation trial, n=42 labour and delivery room healthcare providers (HCPs) did a pre-test of neonatal resuscitation knowledge using a manikin. Then, randomly assigned to control or treatment group. For 20–30 min, participants in control group watched a neonatal resuscitation lecture video, while those in the treatment group played RETAIN digital game simulator (https://lnkd.in/gYP_MUA). Then, all participants did a post-test identical to the pre-test. Additionally, participants in the treatment group completed a survey of attitudes toward the RETAIN simulator. After two months, participants did another post-test. Results: For the primary outcome (neonatal resuscitation performance), an analysis of variance revealed that participants significantly improved their neonatal resuscitation performance over the first two time points, with a significant decline to the third time point. For the secondary outcome (attitudes toward RETAIN), participants in the treatment condition also reported favourable attitudes toward RETAIN. Conclusions: Labour and delivery room healthcare providers in both groups (RETAIN simulator or video lecture) significantly improved their neonatal resuscitation performance immediately following the intervention, with no group differences. The findings suggest that participants enjoyed interacting with the RETAIN digital game simulator, which provided a similar boost in performance right after use to the more traditional intervention. https://wix.to/9uu0nCQ #neonatology #nicu #nicubaby #nicunurse #nicumom #newborn #newbornbaby #nurse #midwifery #midwife #resuscitation #cpr #patient #patientcare #patientsafety #education #medical #medicalstudent #medicalcollege #medicalschool #medicalstudents #medicine #medicaleducation #medico #medicina #medicos #pretermbaby #preterm #oxygen #science #RCT #research #researchpaper #researchers #scientists #latestposts #latestblogs #linkedlnarticles #article #articles #AcademicExcellence #researchproposal #clinicaltrials #ScienceForChange #health #canada #medical #europe #australia #usa #asia #africa #india  #ResearchMethods #HealthcareInsights #ClinicalTrialSuccess #PatientEngagement #MedicalResearch #InnovationsInHealthcare #ClinicalTrialManagement #ClinicalTrials #DataManagement #RegulatoryFrameworks #datatransparency #ClinicalDataTransparency #EMA #HealthCanada #medicalwriting #clinicaldatamanagement #clinicaloperations #clinicalresearch #FDA #babies #guidelines #ClinicalTrials #InformedConsent #DeferredConsent #MedicalEthics #goldenminute #NRP #neonatologist #Neonatalresusctiationprogramme #Neonatologist #pediatrician #baby

Some thoughts about the importance of increasing the frequency of medical trainings and real-life medical emergency simulations As the healthcare system continues to evolve, it's essential to stay ahead of the curve by increasing the frequency of medical trainings for cruise ship medical teams. Traditionally,on most of companies, medical trainings have been conducted monthly, but with the increasing complexity of the cases,unique challenges and complex environments faced by healthcare providers on cruise ships, it's most important to adopt a more aggressive approach. By increasing the frequency of medical trainings to weekly, medical teams can improve their skills and readiness for emergency situations.This can be especially important in high-pressure environments like cruise ships, where medical emergencies can arise at a moment's notice. More frequent training can help medical teams: * Stay up-to-date with the latest medical protocols and guidelines * Develop their critical thinking and decision-making skills * Improve their communication and teamwork skills * Enhance their knowledge of specific medical equipment and medications used on board Real-life medical emergency simulations are also game changers for medical teams to prepare for the unexpected. These simulations should be designed to mimic real-life scenarios as closely as possible, allowing medical teams to train in a realistic and immersive environment. This can include factors such as: * Unexpected medical emergencies, such as heart attacks,strokes or trauma * Overcrowding and limited resources * Confined spaces and limited access(espeacelly crew cabins) * Unusual cases, such as rare medical conditions,exposures to hazardous materials or even assisting child delivery to hidden pregnancies as it has already happened. Performing medical emergency simulations as realistic as possible aboard cruise ships ensures that medical teams can develop the skills and confidence they need to respond effectively to real-life emergencies. This includes: * Creating scenarios that simulate the chaos and urgency of real emergencies * Using realistic patient simulations and mannequins to recreate real-life medical conditions * Incorporating realistic medical equipment and medications by using the training modules of the devices and creating a training bag who "look alike feels alike" medical emergency bag * Encouraging teamwork and communication among medical team members By increasing the frequency of medical training and making medical emergency simulations as realistic as possible, medical teams on cruise ships can improve their preparedness and response to medical emergencies, ultimately ensuring the safety and well-being of passengers and crew.#maritimemedicine #healthcare #cruise #cruiseships #medicaltraining #ACLS #ATLS #ALS #PHTLS
