One of our main tasks in the project was the planning and implementation of further education and training of the staff on site. Since there was no anesthesia department before and the surgeons performed the anesthesia of the patients themselves, we decided to train a team of 6 employees. In the afternoons, we conducted a total of 60 hours of advanced training, focusing on emergency care, resuscitation training, general and spinal anesthesia, and the care and transport of critically ill patients requiring monitoring.<br \/>\nThe training sessions took place in the afternoons, but the team was also involved in emergency care and anesthesia in the daily hospital routine. In order to train the new team, we were also always present during the surgeries. Finally, there was a practical and written examination, as well as a graduation ceremony with the presentation of a certificate.<br \/>\nSince we had recently received a ventilator in the project as a donation during the Corona pandemic, but the staff had no previous experience with ventilators, we then conducted a 2nd training session of 20 hours on mask ventilation therapy with the same team.<br \/>\nIn addition to advanced training, we were also responsible for emergency care of critically ill patients. Pediatric emergencies were most common, usually severe malaria cases with persistent seizures, respiratory illness requiring oxygen, or severe gastrointestinal infections, so we spent many hours in the pediatric unit&#8217;s monitoring room.<br \/>\nOtherwise, we were responsible for drawing up guidelines and improving structures and processes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_height=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;211979&#8243;]My spare time at the project:[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;164411&#8243;]Most of my free time was spent on research, as well as preparations for the lectures and training sessions. To compensate, we went jogging regularly with a few colleagues from the hospital and did yoga almost daily. At Christmas and at the end of our deployment, we made a very nice trip to the waterfalls in Boali.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_height=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;142674&#8243;]I particularly apreciated:[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;197495&#8243;]Collaboration with the team and motivation of employees within the framework of the training series.
