Hip replacement surgery can be painful; postoperative analgesia is crucial for comfort and to facilitate recovery. Regional anaesthesia reduce pain opioid requirements. The role of ultrasound-guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca block after elective total hip arthroplasty not well defined. This randomised trial evaluated its analgesic efficacy.
Background and objectives Documentation is important for quality improvement, education, research. There currently a lack of recommendations regarding key aspects documentation in regional anesthesia. The aim this study was to establish Methods Following the formation executive committee directed literature review, long list potential components created. A modified Delphi process then employed achieve consensus amongst group international experts This consisted 2 rounds anonymous electronic...
In 2010-11 approximately 968 hip fracture patients presented to emergency departments in the Greater Toronto Local Health Integration Network (GTA-LHIN). Optimal pain management is a frequently overlooked aspect of patient care, which may contribute outcomes. Although recommendations have been published, there currently not standardized approach analgesic patient. Nerve blocks, including fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB), are more effective than traditional opioid analgesics reducing...
Background Traumatic brain injury ( TBI ) is a significant cause of death and severe disability from trauma. Pre‐hospital care patients with may be aided by non‐invasive monitoring cerebral tissue oxygenation. This pilot observational study was designed to assess if oximetry using near‐infrared spectroscopy NIRS feasible in the pre‐hospital transport environment. Methods After ethics committee review, we undertook feasibility trial healthy volunteers, transported road ambulance or...
Summary Assessment tools must be investigated for reliability, validity and feasibility before being implemented. In 2013, the Australian New Zealand College of Anaesthetists introduced workplace‐based assessments, including a direct observation procedural skills assessment tool. The objective this study was to evaluate psychometric properties tool ultrasound‐guided regional anaesthesia. Six experts assessed 30 video‐recorded trainee performances Inter‐rater using absolute agreement...
While there are several published recommendations and guidelines for trainees undertaking subspecialty Fellowships in regional anesthesia, a similar document describing core anesthesia curriculum non-fellowship is less well defined. We aimed to produce an international consensus the training teaching of that applicable majority worldwide anesthesiologists.This anonymous, electronic Delphi study was conducted over two rounds distributed current immediate past (within 5 years) directors...
<h3>Background and Objectives</h3> Checklists global rating scales (GRSs) are used for assessment of anesthesia procedural skills. The purpose this study was to evaluate the reliability validity a recently proposed tool comprising checklist GRS specific ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia. <h3>Methods</h3> In prospective, fully crossed study, we videotaped 30 single-target nerve block procedures performed by trainees. Following pilot observer training, videos were assessed in random order...
The scope of regional anesthesia fellowship programs has not been analyzed but may provide insights that could improve training and standards.Regional directors across the world were asked to complete a comprehensive survey detailed range educational practical experience attitudes as well assessment procedures offered in their programs.The response rate was 66% (45/68). Overall, activities time resources committed education during fellowships is encouraging. A wide nerve block reported with...
