Avatar-based patient monitoring improves information transfer, diagnostic confidence and reduces perceived workload in intensive care units: computer-based, multicentre comparison study

Lisa Bergauer et al.

Summary: Patient monitoring is crucial in intensive care medicine, but high workload and information overload can hinder staff's situation awareness. To address this, a virtual patient model animated from vital signs and patient installation data was developed to improve mental processing of patient monitoring data. This study found that compared to conventional monitoring, the virtual patient model led to higher accuracy in assessing vital signs and installations, increased diagnostic confidence, and reduced perceived workload.

Healthcare-associated infections in adult intensive care units: A multisource study examining nurses' safety attitudes, quality of care, missed care, and nurse staffing

Faisal Khalaf Alanazi et al.

Summary: This study examined the association between safety attitudes, quality of care, missed care, nurse staffing levels, and the rate of healthcare-associated infection (HAI) in adult intensive care units (ICUs). The results showed that positive safety culture and better nurse staffing levels can lower the rates of HAIs in ICUs. Higher levels of job satisfaction among ICU nurses, lower proportions of missed nursing care, and higher nurse staffing are associated with lower rates of HAIs.

Human-centered visualization technologies for patient monitoring are the future: a narrative review

Greta Gasciauskaite et al.

Summary: Medical technology innovation has improved patient monitoring in perioperative and intensive care medicine, but the interpretation of data has become more challenging due to increased data density. User-centered medical visualization technology, which integrates multiple pieces of information into a meaningful representation, has been proven to improve clinicians' situation awareness, diagnostic confidence, and reduce workload.

Improving Visual-Patient-Avatar Design Prior to Its Clinical Release: A Mixed Qualitative and Quantitative Study

Doreen J. Wetli et al.

Summary: This study is a usability research on a newly developed avatar-based visualisation technology for patient monitoring. Through qualitative and quantitative research, a new design with high user acceptance and usability has been developed. The results of the study provide guidance for further research and improvement of the technology.

Lower risk of bloodstream infections for peripherally inserted central catheters compared to central venous catheters in critically ill patients

Vassiliki Pitiriga et al.

Summary: The study compares the rates of CLABSI related to CVC and PICC in critically ill patients and evaluates the microbiological distribution. The results show that PICC lines have significantly lower CLABSI rates compared to CVC, despite being in place for a longer duration. The high prevalence of CLABSI-MDROs highlights the importance of public health awareness.

User Perceptions of Different Vital Signs Monitor Modalities During High-Fidelity Simulation: Semiquantitative Analysis

Samira Akbas et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical applicability of the Visual-Patient-avatar technique through simulated emergency scenarios and highlighted its strengths and limitations. The results suggest that the Split Screen modality, when combined with numerical data and accurate curves, enhances situation awareness. Suggestions for improving the design and the need for training prior to clinical implementation were also emphasized.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Direct Objective Measures of Situation Awareness: A Comparison of SAGAT and SPAM

Mica R. Endsley

Summary: The study found that SAGAT is a highly sensitive, reliable, and predictive measure of SA that is useful across various domains and experimental settings, while SPAM and other methods have lower sensitivity. Additionally, concerns regarding memory reliance, assessment of Team SA, and other issues need to be addressed.

Avatar-based patient monitoring in critical anaesthesia events: a randomised high-fidelity simulation study

Tadzio R. Roche et al.

Summary: The study found that split-screen monitoring was non-inferior to conventional monitoring in performing critical tasks during anesthesia crisis situations. Avatar-based patient monitoring improved verbalization of the correct cause of emergencies but was associated with lower perceived usability compared to conventional monitoring.
