AbstractIntroduction:Hospital evacuations of patients with special needs are extremely challenging, and it is difficult to train hospital workers for this rare event.Hypothesis/Problem:Researchers developed an in-situ simulation study investigating the effect of standardized checklists on the evacuation of a patient under general anesthesia from the operating room (OR) and hypothesized that checklists would improve the completion rate of critical actions and decrease evacuation time.Methods:A vertical evacuation of the high-fidelity manikin (SimMan3G; Laerdal Inc.; Norway) was performed and participants were asked to lead the team and evacuate the manikin to the ground floor after a mock fire alarm. Participants were randomized to two groups: one was given an evacuation checklist (checklist group [CG]) and the other was not (non-checklist group [NCG]). A total of 19 scenarios were run with 28 participants.Results:Mean scenario time, preparation phase of evacuation, and time to transport the manikin down the stairs did not differ significantly between groups (P = .369, .462, and .935, respectively). The CG group showed significantly better performance of critical actions, including securing the airway, taking additional drug supplies, and taking additional equipment supplies (P = .047, .001, and .001, respectively). In the post-evacuation surveys, 27 out of 28 participants agreed that checklists would improve the evacuation process in a real event.Conclusion:Standardized checklists increase the completion rate of pre-defined critical actions in evacuations out of the OR, which likely improves patient safety. Checklist use did not have a significant effect on total evacuation time.

AbstractInpres market block IV Pasar Raya Padang is not designed as a shelter building, but is designated as a vertical evacuation site when a tsunami occurs. This study aims to evaluate the structural performance of Inpress market block IV zone B. The method used for this research is the pushover analysis method. According to FEMA P-646/2019, vertical evacuation refuge structures are included in tsunami risk category IV, based on the risk category the maximum performance level is at the Immediate Occupancy (IO). For loads on buildings, refer to SNI 1727:2020 and SNI 1726:2019 for earthquake loads. For the calculation of the capacity of concrete structural elements, refer to SNI 2847:2019. Structural analysis was carried out using the SAP2000 version 16. After analysis, based on performance points, drift ratio that occur due to earthquake loading in X-direction and Y-direction are 0,05875% and 0,0067%. The maximum total drift that occurs is smaller than that required by ATC-40 for the Immediate Occupancy performance level, which is 1%. Thus, the structure performance level is Immediate Occupancy. This means that the Inpress market block IV building is still strong enough against earthquake loads.
