Randomized Controlled Trial
Video Modeling and Video Feedback to Reduce Time to Perform Intravenous Cannulation in Medical Students: A Randomized-Controlled Mixed-Methods Study.
Combined video modeling (VM) and video feedback (VF) may be more beneficial than traditional feedback when teaching procedural skills. This study examined whether repeated VM and VF compared with VM alone reduced the time required for medical students to perform peripheral intravenous (IV) cannulation. ⋯ Video modeling and feedback shortened time to IV skill completion, reduced complications, and improved satisfaction in novice medical students.

Observational Study
Accuracy of the Clinical Frailty Scale for perioperative frailty screening: a prospective observational study.
Perioperative frailty increases postoperative complications, mortality, and new functional dependence. Despite this, routine perioperative frailty screening is not widespread. We aimed to assess the accuracy of the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) as a screening tool prior to anesthesia, and to determine which health domains are affected by frailty. ⋯ The CFS is a valid and accurate tool to screen for perioperative frailty, which encompasses the spectrum of health-related domains.

The purpose of the Canadian Anesthesia Research Priority Setting Partnership (CAR PSP) was to identify a top ten list of shared priorities for research in anesthesia and perioperative care in Canada. ⋯ The CAR PSP top ten priorities reflect a wide variety of priorities captured by a broad spectrum of Canadians who receive and provide anesthesia care. The priorities are a tool to initiate and guide patient-oriented research in anesthesia and perioperative care.

Comparative Study
A comparative study on adequate anesthesia depth: clinical judgement and the Narcotrend® measurement.
To compare the clinical judgement of electroencephalogram (EEG)-naïve anesthesiologists with an EEG-based measurement of anesthetic depth (AD) using the Narcotrend® monitor. ⋯ These results suggest that clinical judgement of AD during stable anesthesia was not in agreement with EEG-based assessment of anesthetic depth in 58% of cases. Nevertheless, this finding could be influenced by the lack of validated scales to clinically judge AD.
