Mock Code: A Code Blue Scenario Requested by and Developed for Registered Nurses

چکیده
The use of simulation in medical training is quickly becoming more common, with applications in emergency, surgical, and nursing education. Recently, registered nurses working in surgical inpatient units requested a mock code simulation to practice skills, improve knowledge, and build self-confidence in a safe and controlled environment. A simulation scenario using a high-fidelity mannequin was developed and will be discussed herein.

Code Blue Emergencies: A Team Task Analysis and Educational Initiative
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to identify factors that have a positive or negative influence on resuscitation team performance during emergencies in the operating room (OR) and post-operative recovery unit (PAR) at a major Canadian teaching hospital. This information was then used to implement a team training program for code blue emergencies. METHODS In 2009/10, all OR and PAR...
متن کاملThe New 'Code of Ethics for Nurses With Interpretive Statements' (2015): Practical Clinical Application, Part I.
I n June 2015, over 300 registered nurses (RNs) gathered in Baltimore, MD, to examine the newly revised Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements (Code) (American Nurses Association [ANA], 2015a). Participants represented all nursing specialties and ranged from new graduates to nurses with more than 40 years of practice experience. All had one thing in common: a need to learn more ...
متن کاملAccelerating high-order WENO schemes using two heterogeneous GPUs
A double-GPU code is developed to accelerate WENO schemes. The test problem is a compressible viscous flow. The convective terms are discretized using third- to ninth-order WENO schemes and the viscous terms are discretized by the standard fourth-order central scheme. The code written in CUDA programming language is developed by modifying a single-GPU code. The OpenMP library is used for parall...
متن کاملUsing Temperature of IR Sources for Assessing Photochemical and Aphakic Retinal Hazard
Introduction Blue light is a part of the spectrum with the highest energy content, which can reach the retina. The damage that it can cause to the retina is called photochemical or blue-light retinal injury. For the retinal injury assessment of the photochemical and aphakic retinal hazards in the wavelength range of 300-700 nm, use of effective spectral radiance limits (W.m-2.sr-1) seems to be ...
