Surgeon case volume and the risk of complications following surgeries of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture

PurposeThis study aimed to address the relationship between surgeon volume and the risk of complications following surgeries of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs).MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records and the follow-up registers for patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation with plate/screws in our center between January 2015 and June 2020. Surgeon volume was defined as the number of surgically treated calcaneal fractures within the past 12 months, and was dichotomized on basis of the optimal cut-off value. The outcome measure was the documented overall complications within 1 year after surgery. Four logistics regression models were constructed to examine the potential relationship between surgeon volume and complications.ResultsAmong 585 patients, 49 had documented complications, representing an overall rate of 8.4%. The overall complication rate was 20.0% (22/111) in patients operated on by the low-volume surgeons and 5.7% (27/474) by the high-volume surgeons, with a significant difference (p < 0.001). The 4 multivariate analyses showed steady and robust inverse volume-complication relationship, with OR ranging from 3.8 to 4.4. The restricted cubic splines adjusted for total covariates showed the non-linear fitting “L-shape” or “reverse J-shape” curve (p = 0.041), and the OR was reduced until 10 cases, beyond which the curve leveled.ConclusionsOur findings reflected the important role of maintaining necessary operative cases, potentially informing optimized surgical care management.     

Computational analysis of renal artery flow characteristics by modeling aortoplasty and aortic bypass interventions for abdominal aortic coarctation

ObjectiveSuprarenal abdominal aortic coarctation (SAAC) alters flow and pressure patterns to the kidneys and is often associated with severe angiotensin-mediated hypertension refractory to drug therapy. SAAC is most often treated by a thoracoabdominal bypass (TAB) or patch aortoplasty (PA). It is currently unclear what effect these interventions have on renal flow and pressure waveforms. This study, using retrospective data from a patient with SAAC subjected to a TAB, undertook computational modeling to analyze aortorenal blood flow preoperatively as well as postoperatively after a variety of TAB and PA interventions.MethodsPatient-specific anatomic models were constructed from preoperative computed tomography angiograms of a 9-year-old child with an isolated SAAC. Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations of hemodynamics were performed to analyze preoperative renal flow and pressure waveforms. A parametric study was then performed to examine the hemodynamic impact of different bypass diameters and patch oversizing.ResultsPreoperative FSI results documented diastole-dominated renal perfusion with considerable high-frequency disturbances in blood flow and pressure. The postoperative TAB right and left kidney volumes increased by 58% and 79%, respectively, reflecting the increased renal artery blood flows calculated by the FSI analysis. Postoperative increases in systolic flow accompanied decreases in high-frequency disturbances, aortic pressure, and collateral flow after all surgical interventions. In general, lesser degrees of high-frequency disturbances followed PA interventions. High-frequency disturbances were eliminated with the 0% PA in contrast to the 30% and 50% PA oversizing and TAB interventions, in which these flow disturbances remained.ConclusionsBoth TAB and PA dramatically improved renal artery flow and pressure waveforms, although disturbed renal waveforms remained in many of the surgical scenarios. Importantly, only the 0% PA oversizing scenario eliminated all high-frequency disturbances, resulting in nearly normal aortorenal blood flow. The study also establishes the relevance of patient-specific computational modeling in planning interventions for the midaortic syndrome.     

The role of online videos in teaching procedural skills to post-graduate medical learners: A systematic narrative review

Abstract

Objective: Online videos are commonly used in medical education. The aim of this review was to investigate the role of online instructional videos in teaching procedural skills to postgraduate medical learners.

Methods: This systematic narrative review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, ERIC and Google Scholar were searched. Full texts that applied to online videos, postgraduate medical learners and procedural skills were included without language restrictions. The methodological quality of the studies was evaluated using a validated tool. A thematic analysis of the studies was carried out using a general inductive approach.

Results: A total of 785 articles were retrieved and the full text was reviewed for 66 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. Twenty papers that were relevant to the role of online videos in postgraduate medical education of procedural skills were used for this review. They were heterogenous in the outcomes collected and the evidence was of variable quality. There was strong evidence for the use of online videos for procedural skill knowledge acquisition and retention. Online videos were used for various purposes, such as supervision, assessment, postoperative debriefing, providing feedback, and promoting reflection.

Conclusion: Online videos are a valuable educational tool especially for procedural skill knowledge acquisition and retention. Future research needs to be carried out on the appropriate use of platforms in disseminating and using online videos, identifying the factors surrounding the learners, video characteristics, and data protection.
