Purpose
To provide ultrasound (US) education to anesthesia providers to increase usage for peripheral intravascular (IV) cannulation on difficult IV access patients.
Design
This project reflects a qualitative descriptive quality improvement project with outcomes measured. Data in this project include the overall knowledge and competency scores from the provider’s US survey before and after education and training were provided.
Methods
A presentation was developed and provided to 38 certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) via the hospital’s online platform. Next, in-person simulations were conducted to facilitate the skills of US utilization. Each CRNA participating in simulations successfully performed the skill. The impact and success of the education bundle were collected via the disbursement of a Likert-scale survey via an automated data collection software.
Findings
Seventeen of the 38 (45%) participants responded to the survey. Of these respondents, 88% of providers indicated that their US skills and confidence had increased following the intervention, and 100% of participants stated that the intervention was helpful in learning US-guided peripheral IV insertion.
Conclusions
Education and hands-on skills sessions increased provider confidence in US use. While this project focused on educational training of CRNAs, this is applicable to all health care providers who are responsible for IV cannulation. The project team members will disseminate these findings and plan to improve perioperative nurses’ confidence in US-guided peripheral IV insertions; thus, improving efficiency in the operative setting.
目的:为麻醉服务提供者提供超声(US)教育,以提高困难静脉通路患者外周血管(IV)插管的使用率:设计:该项目是一个定性描述性质量改进项目,对结果进行了测量。该项目中的数据包括在提供教育和培训之前和之后,提供者在美国调查中的总体知识和能力得分:方法:通过医院的在线平台为 38 名注册麻醉师(CRNA)制作并提供了一个演示文稿。接下来,进行了现场模拟,以促进 US 的使用技能。每位参与模拟的注册麻醉师都成功地掌握了这一技能。通过自动数据收集软件进行李克特量表调查,收集教育捆绑的影响和成功率:38 名参与者中有 17 人(45%)对调查做出了回应。在这些回复者中,88% 的医疗服务提供者表示,干预后他们的 US 技能和信心有所提高,100% 的参与者表示干预有助于学习 US 引导下的外周静脉插入:结论:教育和实践技能课程增强了医疗服务提供者使用 US 的信心。虽然该项目侧重于对急诊麻醉师的教育培训,但它适用于所有负责静脉插管的医疗服务提供者。项目组成员将传播这些研究结果,并计划提高围手术期护士对 US 引导外周静脉插入的信心,从而提高手术环境的效率。

Purpose
This study aimed to create a preoperative risk assessment form for COVID-19-positive hepatobiliary patients to guide further prevention of complications after surgery and reduce morbidity and mortality.
Design
Based on the literature, focus groups, and case studies, a multidisciplinary panel of 15 experts conducted three rounds of a Delphi study that resulted in the development of a preoperative risk assessment form to be used by healthcare professionals in the treatment of COVID-19-positive hepatobiliary patients.
Methods
A preoperative risk assessment form for health professionals to use among COVID-19-positive hepatobiliary patients was developed based on literature, focus groups, and case studies. A 3-round Delphi study was conducted to validate and revise the risk assessment form using a multidisciplinary panel of 15 experts involved in hepatobiliary surgery.
Findings
The experts demonstrated high cooperation and familiarity with the research topic, with positive coefficients ranging from 93.33% to 100% and authority coefficients ranging from 0.83 to 0.86. The coordination coefficients were 0.33, 0.26, and 0.22, respectively, indicating good coordination among expert opinions. The final risk assessment form included 9 primary (first-level) indicators, 38 secondary (second-level) indicators, and 122 tertiary (third-level) indicators.
Conclusions
The preoperative risk assessment form for hepatobiliary surgery patients infected with COVID-19 is scientifically rigorous, reliable, and valid. This screening tool may be used by health providers to identify high-risk patients, prevent postoperative complications, and reduce morbidity and mortality.

Purpose
To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding ketamine (K) to lidocaine (L) for intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA).
Design
A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods
A comprehensive search of the Cochrane library, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and ProQuest databases, and the Google Scholar search engine was conducted from inception to March 2023. All retrieved articles were imported into Endnote X20 software and independently screened by two researchers according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data were analyzed using Revman 5.4 software and the assessed outcomes included the time of sensory and motor block onset, time of sensory and motor block recovery, fentanyl consumption, time of tourniquet pain onset, intraoperative and postoperative visual analog scale scores, and complications.
Findings
A total of 532 patients from 11 randomized controlled trials were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that the time of sensory (P < .00001) and motor block onset (P < .00001) were shorter in the L + K group than in the L-only group. The time of sensory (P = .01) and motor block recovery (P = .006) and time of tourniquet pain onset (P < .00001) were longer in the L + K group than in the L-only group. There was a significant reduction in fentanyl consumption (P = .0002) in the L + K group compared to the L-only group. Moreover, the visual analog scale scores in the L + K group were significantly lower than the L-only group 10 minutes (P = .04), 20 minutes (P = .0004), 30 minutes (P < .00001), and 40 minutes (P < .0001) after tourniquet inflation, and 5 minutes (P < .00001), 15 minutes (P = .04), 30 minutes (P = .008), 1 hour (P = .002), 2 hours (P < .00001), and 4 hours (P < .00001) after tourniquet deflation. There was no evidence that the use of K as an adjuvant in IVRA increased adverse effects.
Conclusions
The addition of K to L in IVRA shortened the onset time, prolonged the block time, and reduced intraoperative and postoperative pain without increasing complications.

This case report discusses medical adhesive-related skin injuries (MARSIs) caused by eye taping during an emergency open reduction internal fixation surgery under general anesthesia. The presented case involves a 72-year-old woman with a proximal humeral fracture, where 3M Transpore adhesive tape caused blisters on both eyelids. This tape is an acrylic-based medical adhesive and is commonly used to keep eyelids closed during general anesthesia. MARSIs can largely be prevented through evidence-based clinical guidance. Enhancing awareness of MARSIs among anesthesia providers and perianesthesia nurses is crucial to prevent and manage such injuries effectively.

Purpose
This project aimed to implement a continuous capnography protocol in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) for postoperative adult patients who are at high risk for respiratory failure.
Design
A preintervention and postintervention quality improvement design with retrospective chart reviews evaluated patient demographics (age, weight, body mass index [BMI], perioperative fluid intake and output, use of intraoperative positive-end expiratory pressure), length of surgery, average length of PACU stay, incidence of respiratory events, and adherence to a PACU capnography protocol.
Methods
Preimplementation data were collected from retrospective chart reviews over a 3-month period. A continuous capnography protocol was implemented for same-day surgery patients with a BMI of 35 kg/m2 or greater and who received general anesthesia. Postimplementation data were collected over 3 months in addition to adherence to the capnography protocol. This was presented using descriptive statistics.
Findings
Age, length of surgery, weight, BMI, perioperative fluid intake and output, and use of positive-end expiratory pressure did not impact PACU length of stay. The average PACU length of stay decreased from 76.76 to 71.82 minutes postimplementation but was not statistically significant (P = .470). The incidence of respiratory events was 6% (n = 3). After the implementation of the continuous capnography protocol, adherence to the continuous capnography monitoring was 86% (n = 43).
Conclusions
Patients who are at high risk for postoperative respiratory failure may benefit from continuous capnography monitoring in the PACU. Capnography monitoring may decrease PACU length of stay and provide earlier detection of pending respiratory depression or failure than pulse oximetry alone.

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of aromatherapy for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) under spinal anesthesia.
One hundred and twenty subjects were allocated to each of the four groups based on the application of aromatic oil in subjects manifesting PONV: group 1 (lavender), group 2 (lemon), group 3 (peppermint), and group 4 (normal saline placebo). Aromatherapy was administered to all subjects immediately after surgery. Antiemetics were provided to subjects with significant nausea or vomiting. The severity of nausea and vomiting in subjects post-TKA was evaluated using the Halpin nausea and vomiting scale (HNV). The HNV and the concentration of antiemetic drug use were evaluated. Subjects’ satisfaction with treatment for PONV was evaluated at discharge.
Findings
HNV scores did not differ significantly between groups immediately after surgery until the third postoperative day (P > .05). The amount of antiemetic drug used in group 3 was significantly lower among the groups (P = .030). The subject satisfaction scale did not differ significantly among groups (P = .837).
Conclusions
Aromatherapy using peppermint oil reduced the amount of antiemetics used to treat PONV after TKA under spinal anesthesia with comparable subject satisfaction. Lavender and lemon oils did not reduce the use of antiemetics after TKA.

Randomized controlled clinical trial.
Methods
A total of 1,300 patients who underwent general anesthesia or combined nerve block anesthesia and were transferred to the PACU in May and August 2021 were divided into a control group (630 cases) and a study group (670 cases) based on time. The control group received routine PACU management, and management based on Comfort Theory to reduce the noise in the PACU was implemented with the study group, including physiological comfort, psychological and spiritual comfort, social and cultural comfort, and environmental comfort. The overall noise level in PACU, retention time in PACU, incidence of nursing adverse events, and patient satisfaction were compared before and after implementation.
Findings
In the observation group, the noise values of the four time periods in the PACU were significantly decreased, the retention time was (59.92 ± 22.0) minutes, the incidence of nursing adverse events and vomiting was 0.1%, and the patient satisfaction was 99.8%, which were significantly better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < .05).
Conclusions
The management of noise reduction in PACU based on Comfort Theory can significantly reduce the noise level in PACU, effectively shorten the PACU retention time, reduce the incidence of nursing adverse events, and improve the nursing satisfaction of patients.

Purpose
This project aimed to develop an evidence-based preanesthesia cannabis use assessment tool to acquire complete and accurate patient history and develop a best-informed, individualized anesthesia and analgesia care plan.
Design
Modified Delphi.
Methods
Using an evidence synthesis and multistage, modified Delphi process, eight experts from across the United States developed a consensus-based tool to aid in developing a best-informed, individualized plan for anesthesia and analgesia care.
Findings
Two survey rounds integrated informed evidence-based tool revisions. The final tool included instructions for use, a glossary of terms, and seven key assessment items aimed at gathering the most influential information regarding cannabis use.
Conclusions
The Cannabis Use and Behaviors Assessment Tool is a first-of-its-kind tool providing an essential framework for preanesthesia cannabis use assessment.
