Anesthetic considerations for emergency surgerySalihu Gada
This document discusses anesthetic considerations for emergency surgery. It outlines that emergency surgery requires quick operation to save the patient's life. Anesthesiologists face challenges with limited preparation time and medical optimization. Key considerations include pre-operative evaluation and optimization of fluid/electrolytes, prevention of aspiration for patients with full stomachs, and intra-operative monitoring. Rapid sequence induction is commonly used to intubate while maintaining cricoid pressure to prevent aspiration, though other techniques may be considered if needed. Post-operative care involves monitoring in the ICU/HDU as needed. Thorough preparation and management of complications is important for successful emergency anesthesia.

Can UK Water Service Providers Manage Risk and Resilience as Part of a Multi-...Global Risk Forum GRFDavos
The document discusses a study examining how well UK water service providers incorporate risk management and resilience as part of a multi-agency approach. The researchers analyzed 38 Community Risk Registers and found inconsistencies in style, structure, and level of detail when assessing risks like water infrastructure failures or drought. They conclude that improved consistency is needed in how water providers engage in and contribute their risk assessments to the community planning process.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
Accountability and Accreditation of Emergency Surgery Providers

THE PROBLEM* Humanitarian
Initiative
• “Unacceptable practices” & questions about
clinical competencies of some Foreign
Medical/Surgical teams (FMTs/FSTs)
• Current FMT guidelines “limited in scope”
• Need for “greater accountability, stringent
oversight, better coordination”
*Global Health Cluster CONCEPT PAPER 2011
3. Harvard
2 STEP PROCESS Humanitarian
Initiative
I: Internal quality improvement of services &
standards of performance of FMTs
II: Professionalize the education, training &
certification of Emergency Surgery
humanitarian providers & accreditation of their
academic training centers & trainers
4. STEP I: FMT REQUIREMENTS
Professional & ethical standards Team composition by services & bed
capacity
Accelerate deployments Standardized data collection &
reporting
Match services with supply & demand Procedures performed only by those
licensed/accredited to do so
Create register of FMT provider FMTs staffed by personnel with
organizations experience in humanitarian settings
Team composition by specialty, Process to supervise less experienced
experience
*Global Health Cluster CONCEPT PAPER 2011
5. STEP II: RECOGNIZING THAT ….
• The global and regional blueprint for
professionalization of humanitarian assistance is
moving forward rapidly*
• Humanitarian assistance is a multidisciplinary
discipline with specific obligations discipline-to-
discipline; disciplines are highly integrated
• A system of “accountability, quality control,
reporting, registration, certification & coordination”
is inevitable
*Walker, P, Hein K. Health Affairs, 2010
7. ELRHA– Enhancing Learning and Research
for Humanitarian Assistance
• ELRHA: a collaborative network dedicated to
supporting partnerships between higher education
institutions and humanitarian organizations and
partners around the world
• ELHRA Project: moves the professionalization of
the humanitarian aid workforce from discussion to
action
• Encourage similar “actions” to take place between
existing, and developing, academic training centers
9. STEP II: RECOGNIZING THAT…
• Expectations are that each „discipline‟ will
demonstrate:
> competency-based education & training
> regional standards as a global HUB/Regional sub-
group
• Argue that this goal is best reached as an association of
like-minded academic & academic affiliated centers
who have an established track record in the discipline
of Emergency Surgery in humanitarian settings
10. BLUEPRINT RECOMMENDATIONS
Establish Certified Training Programs:
• Regional & internationally recognized academic
training programs
• Standardized system of competency-based
certification
• Work with members, academics & training institutions
to devise certification criteria for entry-, mid-
level, & higher levels
11. BLUEPRINT RECOMMENDATIONS
Identify Core Competencies:
• Appropriate for a Regional Hub to accept a set of core
competencies on which to base training, a way of
certifying training courses, and accrediting
training institutions
• Provide accredited trainers from accredited training
centers around the world:
> via training provided by accredited training
institutions
> &/or supervised experience
12. BLUEPRINT RECOMMENDATIONS
Create Standard Routes to Certification:
• Presupposes that recognized regional HUB organizations will:
> Create a list of competencies
> Do the training
> Accredit the training institution & its trainers
• 3 Common routes:
> Completing a curriculum
> Demonstrating competency through examination or
experience
> Producing a portfolio to document the acquisition of
competency
13. BLUEPRINT RECOMMENDATIONS
Seek recognition from stakeholders:
• Bring NGOs, IOs, Donors on board in whose
interest it is to support the professionalization
process of the FMTs & Emergency Surgery
• They should recognize the association and accept the
certification it provides
• Lobby for a “Global authority for crises”…similar to
that provided by the International Health
Regulations Treaty for pandemics*
*Burkle FM, Redmond, AD, McCardle D. Lancet, Nov, 2011
14. EXAMPLE
• 12 established Academic Training Centers in North America
that have provided 2-17 years of education and training in
humanitarian health for the general health care provider
• Survey tool completed & joint meeting held November, 2011
• Building an Association of Academic Training Centers for
Humanitarian Health in support of the work of
the North American regional HUB of ELHRA
• Recognize that a similar approach is needed for health
specialists (i.e., emergency surgery)
15. SUMMARY: AN ACADEMIC ASSOCIATION FOR
INDIVIDUAL DISCIPLINE PROFESSIONALS
• Independent „discipline-specific‟ Professional Academic
Associations
• Forum for Core and Sub-group competencies
• Sets standards: Professional & Ethical
• Accredits training centers and trainers
• Establishes discipline-specific routes to certification
• Push the research to build content & standards
• Internationalize the field
Editor's Notes
Good to be hereGoing to talk to you about an issue that must be addressed and is inevitable if foreign medical teams are going to be deployed in the future
The demand for better coordination and control is heard during and after every major internationaldisaster.The Global Health Cluster Report that followed the response to the Haiti earthquake found ….
First agenda is always to improve internal quality of services based on standards of performanceWhen that is accomplished or in tandem with it, the effort should be directed at ensuring the professionalization of emergency services within humanitarian aidNGO/PVO…such as ICRC and MSF training programs both garner academic affiliations and ensue the certification of their providers…but they are only two of many FMTs that show up during crises.
Accelerate deployments in a timely manner
In the 1980s only 2-04 % of NGOs agreed with professionalization This decade, 90% of respondents agrees with the notion of professionalization.100,000 a decade ago, currently over 220,000 call themselves humanitarian professionals, and this rate increases 6% per year
There are a number of networks, like ALNAP which works to ensure quality performance of NGOs…ELRHA is a collaborative network dedicated to….
Currently 4: East Africa, UK, Europe and North America
and understand the cross-cultural nuances of each discipline
Completeing curriculum like ATLS, ICRC training programs, etc
Internationalize the discipline through regional hubs which should be encouraged to collaborate
