Abstract

The utilization of simulation has proved to be a valuable tool to train students in the academic setting in preparation for the clinical environment. Student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNAs) receive limited education and training on the use of powered air-purifying respirators when caring for patients with highly infectious diseases (i.e., COVID-19). The purpose of this pilot study was to assess SRNAs' knowledge, self-confidence, and psychomotor skills for the safe performance of donning and doffing of powered air-purifying respirators while managing the airway. A single group pretest and posttest descriptive study was conducted over 7 months which included 45 SRNAs. There was a statistically significant increase in knowledge (P = < .001) and self-confidence (P = < .001) on safe donning and doffing of powered air-purifying respirators for emergent intubation. Descriptive statistics on the psychomotor skills revealed that the SRNAs were able to demonstrate donning and doffing of powered air-purifying respirators for emergent intubation during simulation. Findings suggest that simulation is an appropriate strategy and is relevant for nurse anesthesia educators to consider when training SRNAs to don and doff while managing the airway for patients with COVID-19.

高保真模拟对麻醉护士学生知识、自信和精神运动技能的影响。

利用模拟已被证明是一个有价值的工具，以培养学生在学术环境中准备临床环境。注册麻醉师(srna)学生在护理高传染性疾病(如COVID-19)患者时，接受有关使用动力空气净化呼吸器的有限教育和培训。本初步研究的目的是评估srna的知识、自信和精神运动技能，以便在管理气道的同时安全戴上和脱下动力空气净化呼吸器。单组前测和后测描述性研究进行了超过7个月，其中包括45个srna。急救插管时安全佩戴空气净化呼吸器的知识(P = < 0.001)和自信(P = < 0.001)均有统计学意义的提高。精神运动技能的描述性统计显示，在模拟过程中，srna能够演示为紧急插管戴上和脱下动力空气净化呼吸器。研究结果表明，模拟是一种适当的策略，麻醉教育护士在培训srna在为COVID-19患者管理气道时考虑模拟是相关的。

期刊介绍： Founded in 1931 and located in Park Ridge, Ill., the AANA is the professional organization for more than 90 percent of the nation’s nurse anesthetists. As advanced practice nurses, CRNAs administer approximately 32 million anesthetics in the United States each year. CRNAs practice in every setting where anesthesia is available and are the sole anesthesia providers in more than two-thirds of all rural hospitals. They administer every type of anesthetic, and provide care for every type of surgery or procedure, from open heart to cataract to pain management.
