Infection Control Of The Anesthesia Workspace – Double Glove Technique, Debra Farida, Megan E. Callow

College of Science and Health Theses and Dissertations

Background: Current infection control practice has proven to be inadequate and pathogen transfer from anesthesia provider to patient is well established in literature, especially pertaining to contamination during direct laryngoscopy (DL), which exposes both surface and patient to disease, viruses, and bacteria.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acquisition of confidence and perceived knowledge of proper handling of potential contaminants during induction and DL utilizing video simulation among junior level (second year) nurse anesthesia trainees (NAT-2s) enrolled at NorthShore University HealthSystem (NSUHS).

Method: Eighteen NAT-2s were evaluated using single group, pre-test post-test design, …

A Malignant Hyperthermia Competency Training For Nurse Anesthesia Trainees: Development, Implementation, And Evaluation, Andrew M. Christ

College of Science and Health Theses and Dissertations

Background: Video simulation is an alternative method of teaching that can play an important role in nurse anesthesia education. Using video simulation for uncommon crisis could prove beneficial.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of an educational video simulation regarding malignant hyperthermia (MH) recognition and management on knowledge of nurse anesthesia trainees (NATs).

Methods: A single group pretest-posttest design was used to compare knowledge on recognition and management of malignant hyperthermia. The study included a voluntary convenience sample of junior and senior nurse anesthesia trainees at NorthShore University HealthSystem School of Nurse Anesthesia. Pretest scores …

Video Simulation As An Educational Strategy To Increase Knowledge And Perceived Knowledge In Novice Nurse Anesthesia Trainees, Rachel A. Kozlowski, Jennifer A. Kurdika

College of Science and Health Theses and Dissertations

Background: Video simulation is gaining popularity as an alternative method of teaching and can play an important role in nurse anesthesia education.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of an educational video simulation on acquisition of knowledge and perceived knowledge of anesthesia induction in novice nurse anesthesia trainees (NATs).

Method: A single group pre-test post-test design was used to compare knowledge and perceived knowledge on standard and rapid sequencing induction of anesthesia. Pre test scores on knowledge and perceived knowledge were obtained and followed by a viewing of pre-recorded video simulation on standard and rapid …

Dnp Project: Effectiveness Of Video Simulation Training To Increase Knowledge And Confidence In The Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist, Mishawna K. Bohner

College of Science and Health Theses and Dissertations

Background: Video instruction as a form of education has steadily increased over the past two decades (Whatley & Ahmad, 2007). Current research supports the use of web-based video learning as an adjunct to traditional education to increase knowledge and competency of skills. Despite the many studies showing the effectiveness of video based learning into traditional based learning methods, there are few web-based anesthesia specific platforms with reviewable audio-visual outlets for student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNA) to increase clinical skill competency and confidence.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a newly developed web-based clinical simulation …
