[Does annual simulation training influence the safety climate of a university hospital? : Prospective 5‑year investigation using dimensions of the safety attitude questionnaire]. Anaesthesist 2017; 66:910-923. [PMID: 28971216 DOI: 10.1007/s00101-017-0371-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2017] [Revised: 09/08/2017] [Accepted: 09/11/2017] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Simulation-based training with a focus on non-technical skills can have a positive influence on safety relevant attitudes of participants. If an organization succeeds in training sufficient staff, it may experience a positive change in the safety climate. As the effects of a single training are of a transient nature, annual training sessions may lead to an incremental improvement of safety relevant attitudes of employees over time. In spring 2012 the Department of Anesthesia at the University Hospital of Erlangen established an annual simulation-based training for staff members (e.g. consultants, trainee anesthetists and nurse anesthetists). OBJECTIVE The study aimed to test whether an annual simulation-based training would result in an incremental longitudinal improvement in attitudes towards teamwork, safety and stress recognition. METHODS A survey comprising three domains (teamwork climate, safety climate and stress recognition) of the safety attitudes questionnaire (SAQ) and items addressing briefing and speaking up was distributed to all participants in an annual in-house simulation training. Participants filled out the questionnaire in the morning of each training day. The attitudes were measured before the first training series in 2012, 6 months after the first training and then every year (2013-2016). Participants generated a personalized identification code which allowed individuals to be anonymously tracked over time. Results of the 5‑point Likert scale were transformed to a 100-point scale. Results were calculated at the group level and at the individual level. Univariable linear regression was used to calculate mean changes per year. RESULTS Over a period of 5 years (2012-2016) a total of 255 individuals completed the questionnaire. Each year, 14-20% of all nurse anesthetists and 81-90% of all anesthetists participated in the simulation-based training. As a result of annual staff turnover 16-24% of participants were new staff members. A personalized code allowed the before and after comparison of 99 staff members who had participated twice or more. Physicians had a higher mean score for teamwork climate before the first training (+8.7 p < 0.001). Mean teamwork climate and safety climate scores before the first training increased over a period of 5 years (3.11 for teamwork climate, p < 0.001 and 2.73 for safety climate, p < 0.001). Repeat participation led to a bigger mean change of individual attitudes in nurse anesthetists: teamwork climate 5.2 (nurses) vs. 1.4 (physicians) and safety climate 5.3 (nurses) vs. 2.8 (physicians) without reaching significance. Participants acknowledged the importance of briefings but confirmed their existence in less than half of the cases. The frequency of briefings increased over the 5‑year period. There were no changes in attitude towards speaking up. CONCLUSION Over a 5-year period, small positive changes in attitudes towards teamwork and safety occurred. Low participation of nurse anesthetists as well as personnel turnover may have weakened the impact of simulation-based training on the safety climate.

Abstract
Aim This study addresses the examination of the factorial validity of the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire 39 (NEI-VFQ 39) and the neuro-ophthalmological supplement in a German sample. Method Eighty-one patients with visual field defects affecting at least one eye answered the NEI-VFQ 39 and the supplement. Theoretical factor structures reported in the manuals were examined in confirmatory factor analysis. Because of a misfit, items retained after item analysis were subjected to exploratory factor analysis. Results The originally postulated factor structures could not be replicated. Many items revealed floor effects. The 21 remaining items could be assigned to two factors - "visual functioning" and "socio-emotional impairment". Conclusion The weakness of the theoretical factors can be avoided by using the 2-scale model.

Abstract
For testing of dynamic light scattering of platelets with ThromboLUX (TLX) in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from venous whole blood (vWB), anticoagulation is needed. We compared TLX score in PRPs containing citrate, ethylene-diamine-tetraacetic-acid (EDTA), citrate-phosphate-dextrose-adenine (CPDA) or citrate-theophylline-adenosine-dipyridamole. Initial and late TLX scores were measured after 30-120 min or four to six hours, respectively. Compared with citrate, mean differences in initial TLX score were only significant for CPDA. Also, mean differences between initial and late TLX scores were only significant for CPDA. TLX failed to detect EDTA-induced platelet alterations. The clinical relevance of TLX needs further studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to analyze sonographic criteria for the differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions using real-time spatial compound imaging (CT) in combination with adaptive image processing (XRES). MATERIALS AND METHODS In a retrospective analysis of 460 patients, the sonographic criteria: shape, orientation, margin, echo pattern and posterior acoustic features were determined using CT and XRES. All investigations were performed using a 12 MHz linear transducer. The findings were classified according to the DEGUM criteria analogous to BIRADS and were histologically confirmed by core needle or vacuum biopsy. Statistical analysis was performed using a Chi-square test, logistic uni- and multivariate regression analysis and an ROC-curve analysis to detect the false-positive rate. RESULTS All investigated diagnostic criteria were significant in the descriptive analysis (Chi-squared). The multivariate analysis showed that the criteria of irregular shape versus round, and not circumscribed margin versus circumscribed margin as well as the posterior acoustic features of enhanced versus reduced have a significant influence on the prediction of a malignant finding. The univariate analysis also showed a statistical significance using the indifferent and not parallel orientation versus parallel. To attain a detection rate of > 95 %, a false-positive rate of 60 % must be expected. CONCLUSION This study shows that when using CT in combination with XRES, the analyzed sonographic criteria for the differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions are still of diagnostic value. In particular, the shape, margin and posterior sonographic features are important.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This paper focuses on the introduction of parents as 'transition experts' within a paediatric rehabilitation hospital. Through the personal experience of raising a young adult with special healthcare needs, Family Facilitators are knowledgeable about the processes of social and healthcare service transfer and transition to adulthood. Following a needs assessment, a pilot transition support group was established for parents of youth who were eligible for augmentative communication support. The goal was to provide informational, emotional and affirmational support during this stressful period. This study examined the impact of the Family Facilitator-led Transition Peer Support Group on parents' knowledge, skill and level of support in planning for the future. METHODS Qualitative methods were used to explore benefits, limitations and outcomes of the parent support group. In addition to a review of 10 narrative field notes maintained for each session by the Family Facilitator and four session feedback forms, a 90-min focus group was conducted with eight core members. RESULTS Qualitative examination of the data revealed three themes: (i) increased awareness related to personal challenges in planning and shifting viewpoints on future orientation; (ii) increased active planning with regard to knowledge building and actions taken; and (iii) the value of experiential knowledge. CONCLUSIONS Parents reported gaining new knowledge and became more active and future-oriented in their planning. Further, they strongly valued the facilitator role and benefited from the social support provided by the group. Findings provide a unique snapshot of parental needs. Individualized support with an emphasis on citizenship, participation and inclusion were targeted topics. Future work should continue to explore optimal mechanisms for the provision of parent-focused transition support and the inclusion of parents as experts within healthcare settings.

Restoration of vision after optic nerve lesions with noninvasive transorbital alternating current stimulation: a clinical observational study. Brain Stimul 2011; 4:189-201.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-invasive current stimulation can induce neuroplastic changes in the normal brain, including visual system structures. Because it is not known if such plasticity is of clinical value, we wished to learn if vision restoration can be induced after optic nerve damage. METHODS In an open-label, clinical observational study 446 patients with optic nerve lesions were treated with non-invasive repetitive transorbital alternating current stimulation (rtACS). Current bursts (<1000 μA, 5-20 Hz) were applied to induce phosphenes for one or two 10-day stimulation periods. Efficacy was assessed by monocular measurements of visual acuity and visual field (VF) size. EEG recordings at rest (n = 68) were made before and after treatment and global power spectra changes were analyzed. RESULTS rtACS improved VF size in the right and left eye by 7.1% and 9.3% (p < 0.001), respectively. VF enlargements were present in 40.4% of right and 49.5% of left eyes. Visual acuity (VA) significantly increased in both eyes (right = 0.02, left = 0.015; p < 0.001). A second 10-day course was conducted 6 months in a subset of 62 patients and resulted in additional significant improvements of VA. Analysis of EEG power spectra revealed that VA and VF improvements were associated with increased alpha power. Increased theta power was observed in patients that had only VF enlargements but no VA change. In contrast, non-responders had increased delta power spectra in frontal and occipital areas. CONCLUSIONS rtACS leads to long-lasting improvements in VA and VF size and after-effects in EEG power spectra. Because physiological and clinical parameters are correlated we hypothesize that rtACS enhances plasticity by inducing synchronization in different cortical regions, but the precise mechanisms needs further clarification. These encouraging results require confirmation by controlled clinical trials.

Abstract
The patients of this prospective study were analysed for headache as a sequela of surgery for acoustic neuroma (AN). Thirty-two per cent (30/95) of patients complained about a persisting headache syndrome with a severity of at least 6/10 on the nominal analogue scale 6 months after surgery. The occurrence of headache was significantly correlated with the prospectively evaluated parameters preoperative headache and the number of perioperative complications. Postoperative failure to return to the preoperative level of activity was also associated with the occurrence of headache, but also with the risk of retirement after successful surgery of the AN. Headache is therefore, like postoperative ataxia, dysgeusia and probably facial paresis, an important factor for the overall outcome of patients after AN surgery. Hypacusis is not as important. The symptoms and course of each individual patient were analysed. The attempt to categorize the headaches according to the second edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders revealed five headache syndromes, the most prevalent being tension-type-like headache (46.7%), followed by neuralgia of the occipital nerve (16.6%), trigeminal neuropathy (16.6%), neuropathy of the intermedian nerve (10.0%) and cervicogenic headache (10.0%). The respective pathophysiological mechanisms are discussed and treatment options based on the clinical picture are presented.

Abstract
The origins, distribution, and cellular targets of the septo-hippocampal projections are reviewed. It appears that the distribution of acetylcholinesterase-positive neurons in the medial septum and diagonal bands and those cells labelled after injections of horseradish peroxidase into the hippocampus coincide; however, the possibility of a non-acetylcholinesterase septal projection remains. Good agreement is found between the distribution of hippocampal acetylcholinesterase and the patterning of silver grains after injection of [3H]leucine into the medial septum. A major target of septal efferents to the hippocampus is the interneuron population; the possibility of septal mediation of intrahippocampal circuitry via this anatomical arrangement is discussed.

Abstract
The authors of this article analyzed the differences in output when searching MEDLINE direct and MEDLINE via citation management software, EndNote X1, EndNote Web, and RefWorks. Several searches were performed on Ovid MEDLINE and PubMed directly. These searches were compared against the same searches conducted in Ovid MEDLINE and PubMed using the search features in EndNote X1, EndNote Web, and RefWorks. Findings indicated that for in-depth research users, should search the databases directly rather than through the citation management software interface. The search results indicated it would be appropriate to search databases via citation management software for citation verification tasks and for cursory keyword searching.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether ultrasound-guided vacuum biopsy (VB) with curative intent is suitable for the complete extirpation of selected sonographically detectable benign lesions of the breast, and to establish the limitations of the method with regard to lesion size and complications, the extent of scar formation and the prognostic value. METHODS One hundred and nine patients underwent hand-held, ultrasound-guided VB (8G or 11G needle) between June 2000 and September 2003. Of these, 45 (41%) women underwent ultrasound-guided extirpation of 46 lesions, and 42 women with 43 lesions were followed up clinically and sonographically for an average of 5.9 months. The complete extirpation rate, residual lesions, and patient satisfaction with the intervention were evaluated. RESULTS Removal of all sonographic evidence of lesions (median diameter, 13 mm) was achieved in 86% of cases (8G needle, 80%; 11G needle, 89%). 19% of the patients had suspected scar formation at the biopsy site. A palpable lesion in the breast could be removed by VB in 90% of cases. None of the patients developed infections and there were no hemorrhages requiring intervention, or damage to the skin or chest wall. A total of 95% of the patients stated that they would prefer this approach to open excision for possible future intervention. CONCLUSIONS VB is an ambulatory procedure associated with a low degree of pain. It has a high degree of patient acceptance and, as a minimally invasive biopsy technique for benign lesions, is a good alternative to open excision. The rate of complications is low and is similar to that observed with conventional microbiopsy.

Abstract
The study compared citation format in EndNote version 7 and Reference Manager version 11 with the citation format for references found in the instructions to authors from the most significant medical literature. The resulting information should be very useful to those who depend on citation management software to format and organize their references for publication in medicine, and librarians and others who teach the use of citation management software.

Abstract
Using EndNote version 7.0, the authors tested the search capabilities of the EndNote search engine for retrieving citations from MEDLINE for importation into EndNote, a citation management software package. Ovid MEDLINE and PubMed were selected for the comparison. Several searches were performed on Ovid MEDLINE and PubMed using EndNote as the search engine, and the same searches were run on both Ovid and PubMed directly. Findings indicate that it is preferable to search MEDLINE directly rather than using EndNote. The publishers of EndNote do warn its users about the limitations of their product as a search engine when searching external databases. In this article, the limitations of EndNote as a search engine for searching MEDLINE were explored as related to MeSH, non-MeSH, citation verification, and author searching.
