    Introduction-Cricothyroidotomy is an advanced and life-saving technique, but it is also a rare and a difficult procedure. The purpose of the present study was to produce a low-cost simulation model with realistic anatomic features to investigate its effectiveness in developing cricothyroidotomy skills. Methods-This study was performed at a university simulation center with 57 second-year student paramedics and a cricothyroidotomy simulation model. Total scores were assessed using a checklist. This consisted of 13 steps and was scored as misapplication/omission=0, correct performance and timing with hesitation=1, and correct performance and timing without hesitation=2. One of these steps, local anesthesia of the area if time is available, was not performed owing to time limitations. The highest possible score was 24. Data are presented as mean +/- SD with range, as appropriate. Normal distribution was evaluated using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Student t test, and Mann-Whitney U test, and correlation analysis was used for statistical analysis. Results-Students completed the cricothyroidotomy procedure steps in 116 +/- 46 (55-238) s. At performance assessment, the score achieved was 12 +/- 5 (2-24). The highest total score of 24 was achieved by 3 students (5\%). Total scores exhibited negative and significant correlation with procedure time (r=-0.403, P=0.002). Conclusions-The model developed in this study is an inexpensive and effectivemethod that can be used in cricothyroidotomy training for student paramedics. We think that repeating the cricothyroidotomy procedure on the model will increase success levels.

    Correlation of Copeptin with N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in predicting the severity and prognosis of acute pulmonary embolism Copeptin in acute pulmonary embolism
    (BAYRAKOL MEDICAL PUBLISHER, 2021-01-01) Yavasi, Ozcan; Kayayurt, Kamil; Bilir, Ozlem; Ersunan, Gokhan; Ozyurt, Songul; Kirbas, Aynur; Ugras, Erhan
    Aim: In this study, we aimed to compare copeptin with N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin I for predicting severity and 3-month mortality in acute PE in the emergency department (ED). Material and Methods: All ED patients older than 18 years who were confirmed to have acute PE within six hours of diagnostic work-up were enrolled and prospectively screened. Risk stratification was made according to the 2014 European Society of Cardiology guideline on PE. The study endpoints were defined as 3-month mortality, presence of non-low risk PE, and presence of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. The Mann-Whitney Ll test was used for the comparison of medians. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to determine the best cut-off values of copeptin and NT-proBNP. A P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The study enrolled 82 patients. Twelve patients who died during 3 months had higher concentrations of NT-proBNP and copeptin, but not troponin I. The AUCs of NT-proBNP and copeptin to accurately predict the 3-month mortality were 0.73 +/- 0.09 (95\% CI, 0.62 - 0.82

    Comparison of self versus expert-assisted feedback for cricothyroidotomy training: a randomized trial
    (BMC, 2022-01-01) Aldinc, Hasan; Gun, Cem; Yaylaci, Serpil; Senuren, Cigdem Ozkaya; Guven, Feray; Sahiner, Melike; Kayayurt, Kamil; Turkmen, Suha
    Background The self-video feedback method may have the potential to provide a low-cost alternative to physician-driven simulation-based training. This study aimed to assess the utility of two video feedback methods by comparing the improvement in performing cricothyroidotomy procedure following self video feedback (trainees review their performance by themselves) and expert-assisted video feedback (trainees review their performance while an emergency physician provides additional feedback). Methods This study was pretest-posttest and two-group designed research performed at a university simulation center with 89 final-year medical students and used a cricothyroidotomy simulation model. After seeing an educational presentation and a best practice video, trainees were randomized into two groups

    The immediate effect of deliberate practice and real-time feedback on high-quality CPR training in intern doctors, acute care providers, and lay rescuers
    (MRE PRESS, 2022-01-01) Yaylaci, Serpil; Kayayurt, Kamil; Aldinc, Hasan; Gun, Cem; Sekuri, Alphan
    The quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the main determinant of survival in cardiac arrest, so high-quality CPR (HQ-CPR) from bystanders is essential. The best instructional model for HQ-CPR performed by bystanders remains under investigation, and an instructional model's effect on various learner types is unknown. This study examined the immediate effect of a brief, blended instructional design that combines deliberate practice (DP) with real-time feedback (RTF) on the booster training of intern doctors (IDs) and acute care providers (ACPs) as well as on the skills acquisition training of lay rescuers (LRs). This cohort crossover study was conducted in a university-affiliated hospital in January 2020. Just-in-time training on HQ-CPR that featured a popular song was provided to IDs (n = 24), ACPs (n = 29), LRs (n = 25)
