Design Retrospective cross-sectional predictive modelling study. Setting was conducted using publicly available data from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a nationally representative survey designed assess health nutritional status US population. Participants We analysed 29 509 non-pregnant adults...

Background Blood viscosity is a determinant of vascular resistance, and it expected to contribute blood pressure. Arterial hypertension (HTN), in addition other cardiovascular risk factors, cardiac morbidity. Our study aimed establish the association between factors including HTN whole Ecuadorian patients. Material methods We studied 132 patients with diagnosis HTN. Fifteen were analyzed. The (WBV) number was studied. Results One hundred thirty-two associated factors. Creatinine, uric acid,...

Operating room (OR) management plays a pivotal role in the healthcare system due to high cash flow it yields. Enhancing communication OR, which is common root problem for delays, might improve OR efficiency and revenues healthcare. This study aims evaluate impact of an relay strategy on turnover time (TOT).A quality improvement project was conducted. In intervention group, certified registered nurse anaesthetist (CRNA) remained outside coordinating steps get next patient ready. CRNA...

BACKGROUND: The representation of women among leaders in the field anesthesia continues to trail that their male counterparts. This qualitative study was conducted understand pathway leadership acquisition anesthesiology. METHODS: Using constructivist grounded theory, we sought determine whether there were specific internal or external factors common specialty anesthesiology, and specifically, how they obtained positions. Semistructured interviews for data collection. A total 26 positions...

The incidence curve of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) shows cyclical patterns over time. We examine the properties curves in various countries and use principal components analysis to shed light on underlying dynamics that are common all countries. find series 37 can be summarized four which explain 90% variation. also discuss influence complex interactions between biological viral natural history socio-political reactions measures adopted by different exhibited COVID-19 around globe....

Traditionally, teaching is part of a clinician's job. Some practitioners recognize the activity as rewarding. This study explored ways clinical experience their journey from clinicians to medical teachers, analyzing prior experiences and learning, conceptions good perceptions learning environments, finally, how those factors influence approaches teaching.Data for phenomenographic analysis were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted in Spanish administered twelve teachers...

Abstract Background Clinical airway assessment has limited predictive ability to anticipate difficult airway. Three-dimensional (3D) technologies have emerged in medicine as valuable tools different settings including innovation and surgical planning. facial scanning could add value clinical measurements two-dimensional models assess the However, commonly used high-fidelity scans are expensive. This study aims compare accuracy of made by Scandy Pro app a cost-effective alternative Artec...

Labor epidural analgesia success depends on precise needle position placement within the space, with reported failure rates to be as high 32%. In this study, we describe a novel technique employing color Doppler aid in confirmation of correct tip.Retrospective evaluation 35 patients who received labor combined spinal-epidural (CSE) flow (CFD) ultrasonography. Demographic data, intervertebral level insertion and dermatome sensory were extracted. Video image CFD patterns used confirm tip...

Abstract Background Neuraxial labor analgesia has been associated with fetal heart rate changes. Fetal bradycardia is multifactorial, and predicting it poses a significant challenge to clinicians. Machine learning algorithms may assist the clinician predict identify predictors its presentation. Methods A retrospective analysis of 1077 healthy laboring parturients receiving neuraxial was conducted. We compared principal components regression model tree-based random forest, ridge regression,...

Passing the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) basic examination is required to progress through anesthesiology training in USA. Failing test may be related medical knowledge gaps, presence negative psychosocial factors, and/or individual approaches learning. This article describes experience development and implementation a multifaceted remediation program (MRP) residents who failed ABA test.This retrospective analysis four cases between 2016 2017.

To evaluate maternal, neonatal and anesthetic outcomes according to BMI in women undergoing cesarean section.Increased incidence rates of obesity morbid have been reported the United States. Pregnant obese patients are at increased risk maternal fetal complications, obstetric management these is especially challenging.A retrospective chart review who underwent section a single center between 2015 2016 was conducted. Anesthetic, were analyzed relation levels BMI.Seven hundred seventy one...

Objective Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) after an accidental dural is a very common complication of epidural analgesia/anesthesia. We observed the ability triple prophylactic method (epidural saline, morphine, and intravenous (IV) cosyntropin) to prevent PDPH need for blood patch. Methods retrospectively evaluated effect combination IV cosyntropin, morphine in parturients who had with regard rate report case series patients underwent prophylaxis other methods. Results Thirty-one were...

Dexmedetomidine is increasingly used in children undergoing cardiac catheterization procedures. We compared the percentage of surgical time with hemodynamic instability and incidence postoperative agitation between pediatric patients who received dexmedetomidine infusion those did not agitation.We matched 653 scheduled for catheterization. Two separate multivariable linear mixed models were to assess association use intraoperative blood pressure heart rate instability. A multivariate...

To assess the correlation between perception of learning environment and approach to adopted by anesthesiology residents throughout training in an academic institution United States.This is a cross-sectional study involving forty-one who completed electronic forms Revised Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire approaches, Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure questionnaire environment. Convenience sampling was used with current residents. Learning approaches were analyzed multiple...

This case report describes a 27-year-old healthy female patient undergoing bilateral salpingectomy for sterilization who experienced sudden bradycardia following induction with propofol (2, 6 diisopropylphenol) and succinylcholine. Despite lacking prior cardiac issues, the patient's heart rate dropped precipitously, necessitating intervention glycopyrrolate. highlights importance of premedication anticholinergics to prevent in similar scenarios, underscoring need vigilance preparedness...
