Video Clip for Continuous Medical Education(Cme) of Operation Theater Nurse in the Field of Living Donor Liver Transplatation

Abstract

Continuing medical education(CME) for nursing activity in operating theater has important role to enhance the safety of patient as well as work efficiency. For CME, various types of program including lecture, test, publication, etc can be employed. However, well-made video clip can provide much enlightenment about the surgical procedure. It is an additional advantage of video clip in CME that it can be used for self-learning program. In our institution, annual more than 300 cases of living donor liver transplantation(LDLT) have been performed. Therefore, the number of nurse requiring education about became more and more. For the CME of operating theater nurse, we made video clip containing motion picture describing detail procedure of LDLT. In 2007, we made the video clip of LDLT for donor at first. The clip for donor contains motion picture and animation which is divided into 7 steps including preparation of instrumental table, the procedure of hepatectomy, bench surgery, thawing of cryopreserved allograft vessel, measures for patient safety and the management of equipment. The running time was 43 minutes. In 2010, the video clip of recipient surgery was made. The running time is also 43 minutes. It contains preparation of instrumental table, the procedure of recipient hepatectomy, implantation procedure and handling of extra-corporeal bypass pump machine. We handed out this video clip to operating theater nurses and visiting nurse from foreign country. During 4 years, we have got feed-back from users of this video clip and plan to update contents. And we anticipate that this video clip will contributes to enhance the actual quality of nursing activity in operating theater.
