Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We investigated how training in the use of electromedical devices in adult and neonatal intensive care departments is organised, designed and delivered. Forty-one departments within two Regional Health Authorities in the United Kingdom returned a detailed questionnaire, from which several nonlinear models were developed using fuzzy logic analysis. The results clearly indicate that training in the use of equipment is a very minor activity, with less than 1% of departmental time spent on providing or receiving such training. Departments that had a higher level of expertise required less assistance from technical personnel. Critical care equipment can be utilised more fully, cost effectively and safely if a formal and regular training programme is implemented. |
