Abstract :

Critically ill patient transfer is potentially risky and may be lead to morbidity and mortality. Physiciansʹ skill is very important for safe transport. We want to evaluate the effect of clinical course teaching on the promotion of physiciansʹ abilities in the transport of critically ill patients. In an interventional study, 320 interns, male and female, were taught about patient transfer in two groups include in one day clinical course as the small group system (n=160) and other group the lecture base learning (n=160). In the clinical course, each participant under observation of an anesthesiologist in the operation room and ICU was acquainted with mask ventilation, intubation and learned to work with a defibrillator, infusion pump, portable ventilator and pulse oximeter. In lecture group, the anesthesiologist explained the topics by video and dummy. At the end of education course, the interns’ abilities were evaluated based on checklist method and scored by the project colleague in all educational items. Three hundred twenty interns, 122 males, and 198 females; were enrolled, two groups. The clinical course training caused improvements in the interns’ knowledge and abilities in intubation and use of the defibrillator and portable ventilator vs.lecture group significantly (P<0.005). The males were better than females in laryngoscopy, but the progress of the females was significantly better than males (P=0.003). The rate of adverse events was reduced significantly after clinical course teaching (P=0.041) Clinical course teaching could promote internsʹ clinical competencies in the transport of critically ill patients.
