Motivar el aprendizaje utilizando nuevas tecnologías: Monitorización continua de glucosa

La innovación pretende: motivar, cambiar “el saber por saber hacer”, “fomentar el uso de nuevas tecnologías”, etc. Creemos que este proyecto abarca todo lo expuesto. La diabetes es la enfermedad endocrina más prevalente y la 7ª causa de muerte en el mundo. Los monitores continuos de glucosa son de gran ayuda para controlar la glucemia y reducir el riesgo de patología diabética. Hemos aprovechado esta idea para motivar a los estudiantes, e involucrarlos en esta propuesta de Flipped learning que nos ha llevado a elaborar un vídeo titulado “Monitorización continua de la glucemia”, en el que ellos mismos explican el funcionamiento y utilidad de este avance tecnológico. Con este proyecto hemos logrado: a) que constataran la importancia del páncreas en el control de la glucemia (al comparar los resultados obtenidos en estudiantes sanos con los de pacientes diabéticos); b) fomentar el uso de nuevas tecnologías; c) motivar y favorecer el aprendizaje autónomo y colaborativo; d) hacerlos protagonistas del vídeo y responsables de trasladar lo aprendido a sus compañeros; e) crear un material docente de calidad, útil para estudiantes, profesionales de Ciencias de la Salud y pacientes diabéticos (usuarios potenciales de estos dispositivos), disponible a través de las redes sociales

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries
