Examiner Differences in the Mini-Cex

Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze whether faculty ratings of residents, using the mini-CEX oral exam format, differed in stringency or were influenced by the clinical setting. It also sought to learn whether the examiners were satisfied with the format.Method: A mini-CEX encounter consisted of a single faculty member observing a resident conduct a focused history and physical examination in an inpatient, outpatient, or emergency room setting. After asking the resident for a diagnosis and treatment plan, the faculty member rated the resident and provided educational feedback. The encounters were intended to be short and occur as a routine part of the training, so each resident would be evaluated on many occasions by different faculty.Sample: Sixty-four attending physicians evaluated residents from five internal medicine training programs; data were analyzed for 355 mini-CEX encounters involving 88 residents.Results: There were not large differences among the examiners in their ratings. Moreover, there were not great differences among the ratings in terms of the training program with which the examiner was associated, the setting of the mini-CEX, or the nature of the patient. The examiners were generally satisfied with the format and their level of satisfaction was correlated with the residents' perceptions of the format.Conclusion: The mini-CEX adapts itself to a broad range of clinical situations, and these results show that it should produce roughly comparable scores over examiners and settings. This makes it a worthwhile device for evaluation at the local level.This revised version was published online in September 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Colonoscopy in the elderly

An evaluation of the utility, morbidity, and patient tolerance of colonoscopy in elderly (70 years) patients was undertaken and compared to data for a similar group of younger patients (50–70 years) who underwent colonoscopy during the same 48 months. Data reviewed for both groups included demographics, indications for colonoscopy, effectiveness of bowel preparation, colonoscopy completion, endoscopic findings, and complications. The mean age of the entire 656-patient population was 69±10 years; 87 (25%) of the 354 elderly patients were greater than 80 years of age and the average age of the 302-member control group was 59.8±5.8 years. Indications for colonoscopy were the same in both groups and included rectal bleeding, 134 (20%); prior colorectal operation, 115 (18%); a history of adenomatous polyps, 82 (12%); guaiac-positive stools, 49 (8%); abnormal finding on barium enema, 19 (3%); and miscellaneous other gastrointestinal symptoms, 151 (23%). Screening colonoscopy was performed in 106 (16%). Colonoscopy was successfully completed to the cecum or the ileocolic anastomosis in 85% (555/656) of the entire population. Only 78% (275/354) of elderly patients had colonoscopy successfully completed compared to 93% (281/302) of their younger counterparts (P=0.001). Elderly patients were significantly more likely to have an abnormality than younger patients (74% vs 60%, P<0.05). Malignant colorectal neoplasia was more common in the elderly (6% vs 2%, P=0.03); however, benign neoplasia was equally present in both age groups (30% vs 27%, P=NS). Thirty percent (195/656) of all patients underwent either snare polypectomy or biopsy. There were no perforations, and postprocedural hemorrhage occurred in 2% (4/195) and was unrelated to age. Overall morbidity, including procedural-related oxygen desaturation, was no different between the two groups. There were no deaths. We conclude that colonoscopy is safe in elderly patients and that advanced age does not, by itself, confer increased risk to the procedure. The lower completion rate in elderly patients mandated additional subsequent testing to complete colonic evaluation but was offset by the significantly increased likelihood of discovering treatable pathology. These results support the continued, aggressive use of colonoscopy in the colonic evaluation of the elderly.

192例腰椎间盘突出症患者的诊断及手术治疗分析

目的：总结分析１９２例腰椎间盘突出症及侧隐窝狭窄伴黄韧带肥厚患者的诊断和手术治疗。方法：经临床检查明确定位、定性诊断,影像学检查证实,采用小切口半椎板或全椎板切除减压、突出椎间盘髓核切除手术治疗。结果：手术证实腰椎间盘突出症１８９例,侧隐窝狭窄伴黄韧带肥厚３例,术后随访６月－５年,优良率７９％。结论：临床检查是腰椎间盘突出症诊断的基础,影像学检查对进一步明确定位诊断和鉴别诊断是必要的。手术指征的严格把握是手术成功的关键。     

Implementation of percutaneous dilation tracheotomy – value of preincisional ultrasonic examination?

BACKGROUND: In this observational study we have evaluated the implementation of percutaneous dilation tracheotomy (PDT), using the forceps dilation technique (Portex) in a multidisciplinary ICU. METHODS: We included a preincisional ultrasonic evaluation of the neck in order to visualise the isthmus glandula thyroidea and major vessels. The observational period comprised one year. PDT was performed in 28 patients. RESULTS: Implementation of PDT was uneventful. Duration of insertion was 10 min (4-40 min). Total time of tracheostomy was 8 days (1-65 days). In nine cases, the proximal end of the isthmus was overlying the space between the 1st and 2nd tracheal ring, which was considered the optimal insertion site. This resulted in seven cases of insertion between the cricoidea and the 1st tracheal ring and in two cases in a more distal insertion. Nineteen tracheotomies were performed in the interstice between the 1st and 2nd tracheal ring. In nine patients, major vessels were overlying the trachea. In none of the patients did this information result in an altered insertion site. Two cases of minor bleeding were observed; both stopped upon compression. In two patients the primary tube size (8.0) was too big and a smaller tube had to be inserted. In one patient the tube was maladapted to the stoma and had to be interchanged with an ordinary tracheostomial tube on the 5th day of tracheostomy. CONCLUSION: Based on the experience gathered in this study and information from the literature, we have abandoned the routine use of ultrasonic examination of the neck prior to PDT. In order to achieve and maintain routine, we suggest that the procedure is performed by a restricted number of doctors.
