Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Regional Anesthesia Techniques
  • Healthcare Practice Analysis

Background:

  • Advancements in regional anesthesia aim to enhance patient outcomes and safety.
  • Current clinical practice patterns and frequency of new regional anesthesia techniques are not well-documented.
  • This study investigates the contemporary use of regional anesthesia in Germany.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the current practice of regional anesthesia in Germany.
  • To determine the frequency and range of regional anesthetic procedures used.
  • To analyze the organizational structures influencing regional anesthesia implementation.

Main Methods:

  • A nationwide questionnaire survey was distributed to 1381 German anesthesia departments.

  • The survey focused on the utilization of various regional anesthetic procedures.
  • Data on institutional organizational structures were also collected.

    • Main Results:

    • A 48.3% response rate was achieved with 667 returned questionnaires.
    • Smaller hospitals (<200 beds) performed more regional anesthetics than larger hospitals (>400 beds).
    • Small hospitals utilized basic techniques, while large hospitals adopted advanced methods; bupivacaine remains the most common local anesthetic. Staffing also differed, with board-certified anesthesiologists in small hospitals and residents in larger ones.

    Conclusions:

    • Board-certified anesthesiologists in small hospitals primarily use basic regional anesthesia.
    • In large hospitals, residents manage most regional anesthesia cases under consultant supervision.
    • There is a clear need to enhance residency programs for regional anesthesia training.
