“…Given the drawbacks/limitations associated with the use of PPE during medical procedures, simulation and training of healthcare providers could play an important role in overcoming such difficulties and improving patient care. 23 In this scenario, earlier warning from the obstetric team and modifications of routines to allow advance preparation of equipment may help in reducing latencies in resuscitation procedures. In addition, further research should focus on optimising the use of available PPE 19 and/or comparing different alternatives, 21 in order to identify the best device and the best combination in the context of the emergency.…”

Background and objectiveHealthcare providers should use personal protective equipment (PPE) when performing aerosol-generating medical procedures during highly infectious respiratory pandemics. We aimed to compare the timing of neonatal resuscitation procedures in a manikin model with or without PPE for prevention of SARS-COVID-19 transmission.MethodsA randomised controlled cross-over (AB/BA) trial of resuscitation with or without PPE in a neonatal resuscitation scenario. Forty-eight participants were divided in 12 consultant–nurse teams and 12 resident–nurse teams. The primary outcome measure was the time of positive pressure ventilation (PPV) initiation. The secondary outcome measures were duration of tracheal intubation procedure, time of initiation of chest compressions, correct use of PPE and discomfort/limitations using PPE.ResultsThere were significant differences in timing of PPV initiation (consultant–nurse teams: mean difference (MD) 6.0 s, 95% CI 1.1 to 10.9 s; resident–nurse teams: MD 11.0 s, 95% CI 1.9 to 20.0 s), duration of tracheal intubation (consultant–nurse teams: MD 22.0 s, 95% CI 7.0 to 36.9 s; resident–nurse teams: MD 9.1 s, 95% CI 0.1 to 18.1 s) and chest compressions (consultant–nurse teams: MD 32.3 s, 95% CI 14.4 to 50.1 s; resident–nurse teams: MD 9.1 s, 95% CI 0.1 to 18.1 s). Twelve participants completed the dressing after entering the delivery room. PPE was associated with visual limitations (43/48 participants), discomfort in movements (42/48), limitations in communication (32/48) and thermal discomfort (29/48).ConclusionsIn a manikin model, using PPE delayed neonatal resuscitation procedures with potential clinical impact. Healthcare workers reported limitations and discomfort when wearing PPE.Trial registration numberNCT04666233.

“…Finally, the concept of "Zoom fatigue" was becoming well-known amongst many medical professionals leading to overall video conference meeting burnout and likely reduced attendance (17). Regardless, the importance of interdisciplinary CPD has been well-proven in literature and has been achieved through a multitude of platforms, ranging from professional speed-dating sessions to collaborative problem-based learning modules to simulation activities (4,8,(18)(19)(20). However, few studies have discussed the CPD transformation to virtual format.…”

“…Virtual education was shown to have multiple advantages during the pandemic, including its adaptability during physical distancing, its accessibility via asynchronous viewing, and opportunities for multi-institution participation ( 6 , 7 ). For example, simulation activities in particular were shown to be extremely useful in ensuring safe medical training in response to the COVID-19 pandemic ( 8 , 9 ).…”

Objectives: COVID-19 has forced a transformation in continuing professional development (CPD), shifting to virtual platforms. We report the results of a rapidly-implemented COVID-19 online interdisciplinary CPD webinar series. We aimed to determine if this virtual approach for large-scale CPD was relevant, appreciated, and effective for specialist physicians in Quebec.Methods and Analysis: This was a retrospective descriptive online survey-based study. The weekly virtual educational webinars took place between March 3, 2020 to June 15, 2020, resulting in a total of 26 webinars over 16 weeks. The study included all individuals who attended any of the webinar sessions, namely specialist physicians and department chiefs. Number of participants and overall appreciation of webinar sessions were data points collected.Results: Across all webinars, there were 8,500 unique specialist physicians which comprises 80.7% of the entire specialist practicing population in Quebec. Of note, every medical and surgical specialty was represented by attendance in at least one session. In total, 27,504 evaluation forms were completed out of all the sessions, meaning a 78.4% response rate. In post-webinar surveys, 97.6% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the webinars were pertinent to their practice and 94.6% agreed or strongly agreed that the presentation met their continuing professional needs.Conclusions: This novel interdisciplinary COVID-19 webinar series is a successful and appreciated strategy to maintain CPD amidst a global pandemic. One year later, it has become a mainstay in our toolbox and we trust this unique model of large-scale interdisciplinary CPD via webinar sessions is useful in normal times as well as in times of crisis.

“… As promotion campaigns, discounts, deals, advertising and ads must become more personalized, organizations must use social media networks being easier to target the wanted and the right audience, in comparison with using the traditional mass media communications channels.  Revise (Favier, et al, 2020) the entire all integrated marketing communication, not only the ads, advertising campaigns in order to see which ones are more efficient.…”

Advertising is one key element for companies to transmit information to their stakeholders. Although the times and the uncertainty of the future are nowadays something very common, and what is much worse is that, the global economy must recover after the Pandemic. Entire economic sectors, like tourism, events, hotels, restaurants, cafes, transportation, spas, more precisely tourism sectors were affected and had not only to diminish their activities, but even to close down their businesses. Organizations still had to communicate with their audience. In this article, we propose a model of communication and the strategies that must be taken by companies in different fields, in order to transmit the message to their stakeholders. We also conducted a research to discover if the advertising in pandemic times has changed and in what manner and intensity. It is widely known that during economic crisis, the first department where the budget is diminished is the marketing budget. After conducting the research, we have discovered that organizations laid more emphasis on security, safety and protection as main communicational axe, although other companies transmitted the opposite, even showing that we can have the same "normal life" as before the pandemic. The majority of the respondents admire ads that present the normal life and ways of returning to the life before the pandemic, being more appreciated and watched. Ads can be very powerful, but at the same time, organizations must pay attention to the way the message is interpreted and decoded.
