Patient-maintained sedation using propofol has recently been shown to be effective for dental surgery. We compared this new technique to the established technique of operator administered midazolam. The two groups were compared before, during and after sedation. The two primary outcomes were time until discharge and oxygen saturation. Vital signs, anxiety and psychomotor skills were also compar...

BACKGROUND Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has revealed microstructural aspects of adolescent brain development, the cognitive correlates of which remain relatively uncharacterized. METHODS DTI was used to assess white matter microstructure in 18 typically developing adolescents (ages 16-18). Fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusion (MD) were evaluated within the splenium and body of the ...

The use of computer-based, psychomotor testing systems for personnel selection and classification has gained popularity in the civilian and military worlds in recent years. However, several issues need to be resolved before adopting a computerized, psychomotor test. The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of alternative input devices used for the Test Of Basic Aviation Skills (TBAS)...

Recent researchers have shown that high levels of background noise have a detrimental effect on students’ abilities to perform learning tasks. Daniels (1985), Jewell (1977, 1978), and HambrickDixon found that high noise levels produced a detrimental effect on students’ abilities to perform cognitive or psychomotor skills. Jewel1 (1977, 1978) also discovered that students exposed to higher level...

Background: Clinical education is one of the effective strategies for achieving clinical competence in nursing students. It has been found that training with peer assisted learning method engages students teaching and improves their psychomotor skills as well. The goal this study was evaluation students’ satisfaction group method.

Purpose: To apply educational models of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and approaches to assisted performance to existing knowledge about surgical skill acquisition, and thus provide a framework for potentially enhancing surgical education. Summary: The stages of the ZPD appear to be consistent with existing psychomotor theories of skill acquisition. The fourth phase of the ZPD, where t...

Cl Abstract-Emergency departments offer a unique educstiond setting where housestaff can be exposed to and learn a variety of procedural 5k& However, procedural skills are often overlooked as an assumed activity without a formal educational context. The clinical educator’s understmding of the educational princfpals of teaching and learning procedural skills is minimal. This review offers furthe...

Despite the benefits of laparoscopic procedures for the patients, this technique comes with a number of environmental limitations for the surgeon, which therefore require distinctive psychomotor skills. VR training systems aim to improve these skills. For effective transference of skills from these training systems, it is important to mimic the surgical environment; including the soft tissue mo...

Objective: Maintenance of competence in orotracheal intubation skills is challenging for nonanesthesiologists who do not practice intubation routinely. We hypothesized that discipline, recent training, and experience would affect immediate skill improvement during refresher training. Methods: Experienced pediatric providers refreshed intubation skills in six simulated infant trauma scenarios wi...
