AOHC Encore 2023-231 Resident Research Presentations Part II

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, several presentations by residents and recent graduates in the field of occupational medicine are summarized. They discuss various research topics, including biomonitoring of firefighters, associations between air pollution and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, asbestos workplace exposure measurements and mesothelioma deaths, self-reported burn pit exposures and functional status, systemic metal exposure and pulmonary function testing, cleaning and disinfecting during COVID-19, and automated identification of fibrosis perfusion on chest x-rays. The speaker acknowledges the significance of the research and expresses gratitude to AECOM for their support.<br /><br />Another study discussed in the video focuses on occupational sharps and needlestick injuries in the nursing and resident physician population. The results show that resident physicians and nurses bear the greatest burden of these injuries, with surgical specialties having higher rates. The study also reveals a high rate of non-reporting of injuries among resident physicians. The most common sites of injury were the operating room for residents and medical-surgical wards for nurses, with suture and hypodermic needles being the most common instruments involved. The study emphasizes the need for further analysis of ergonomic factors in the operating room and the development of behavioral interventions to address reporting and perception of reporting among surgical residents. Overall, the study emphasizes the importance of addressing sharps and needlestick injuries in healthcare settings to prevent potential costs and complications.<br /><br />The video concludes with an announcement about an essay contest and recognizes the winners.<br /><br />Note: No specific credits are mentioned, so it can be assumed that the summary is a general overview of the video content without explicitly attributing the information to specific presenters or researchers.
