Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Educational Application for Cardiac Anesthesiology Trainees: Tutorial on App Development.

ABSTRACT:

Unlabelled

Despite the exposure of cardiothoracic anesthesiology trainees to patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), there is a paucity of formal curricula on this subject. Major impediments to educating cardiothoracic anesthesiology trainees on CIEDs include busy clinical schedules, short staffing, inconsistent trainees' exposure to CIEDs, multiplicity of vendors, and a "millennial" mentality of the new generation of learners. As a result, cardiothoracic anesthesiology trainees graduating from their residency and fellowship programs may lack the competency to manage patients with CIEDs. Herein, we report our systematic approach to designing, validating, mapping, evaluating, and delivering a CIED curriculum on the first mobile app of its kind on this subject.
