IMOTO FIRE FULL
The CPSC on Wednesday praised Amazon for letting customers return hoverboards for a full refund and encouraged other retailers and manufactures to take similar steps. Amazon and Target both temporarily suspended sales, and stopped selling hoverboards all together. Several US airlines banned hoverboards on passenger flights last month, and the US Postal Service stopped shipping hoverboards by air. There have been reports of hoverboard fires in the UK, Australia and at least one in Hong Kong. Some of the hoverboards reportedly exploded while charging, others while riding and one while it was simply sitting near a kiosk in a Washington shopping mall. The hoverboard fires have started in all sorts of different circumstances, according to owners and witnesses. At the time, the agency said it had received "dozens" of reports of injuries from falls. The CPSC began investigating hoverboards last month as reports of them catching fire or exploding started to roll in. In case you missed the craze, the boards don't actually hover. Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is even said to regularly ride one to and from practice. Hoverboards, which can cost anywhere from $200 to $1,500, became a hot item after celebrities like Justin Bieber and Kendall Jenner posted shots of themselves zipping around (and falling off) the boards. The CPSC said it's moving as quickly as possible but did not give a specific time line. The agency could push for more voluntary standards or ban hoverboards altogether. Hoverboard enthusiasts will want to pay attention to the ongoing investigation.

The agency is also expanding its investigation into falls caused by hoverboards due to an "increasing number" of serious injuries and emergency room visits. The CPSC is focused specifically on the lithium-ion batteries that power the boards and "their interaction with the circuit boards inside the units," according to statement from CPSC Chairman Elliot F. The federal regulatory agency is now investigating 39 hoverboard fires across 19 states, said CPSC spokesman Scott Wolfson, up from 12 incidents reported in December. It also suggests wearing protective gear, staying off roads and charging the boards away from combustible materials.
IMOTO FIRE UPDATE
That's one piece of advice from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission in an update Wednesday to its investigation of the self-balancing boards. Although only preliminary conclusions can be drawn from this small-scale study, results suggest that the TeamSTEPPS program improved team and clinical performance without increasing psychological stress.Ĭardiopulmonary resuscitation Education Emergency care Patient simulation Stress Teamwork.Charging up your hoverboard? Keep a fire extinguisher near by. This is the first study to examine the relationship between TeamSTEPPS and psychological stress.
Team performance and clinical performance were significantly better in the TeamSTEPPS group, while psychological stress did not differ between the groups. Autonomic nervous activity, represented by salivary amylase levels and heart rate variability, were measured as psychological stress indicators. Team performance, clinical performance and psychological stress were evaluated simultaneously in the course i.e., questionnaire evaluation and an observational evaluation for team performance an assessor's evaluation and a simulator's evaluation for clinical performance. Ten medical student teams were randomly allocated two groups: a TeamSTEPPS group and a non-TeamSTEPPS group. The course included an emergency care training course, the TeamSTEPPS program, and a scenario simulation. This randomized, controlled, prospective pilot study was performed to reveal TeamSTEPPS impact on psychological stress. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate team performance, clinical performance and psychological stress simultaneously in a simulation-based training combined with or without the TeamSTEPPS program. The Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS) program is known to improve team and clinical performance, but the relationship to psychological stress has not been clarified.
