Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia

2.0K
Spinal anesthetics are given during lower abdomen and limb surgeries to block sensory and motor neurons.

Area of Science:

  • Chiropractic practice
  • Health professions
  • Evidence-based medicine

Background:

  • The chiropractic profession in Norway has grown significantly, with all practitioners educated internationally.
  • International training may lead to diverse practice styles and settings.
  • Limited data exists on Norwegian chiropractors' characteristics and European comparisons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the main characteristics of the chiropractic profession in Norway.
  • To understand practice routines, clinical settings, and professional demographics.

Main Methods:

  • Two surveys distributed to 530 registered chiropractors in Norway in 2011.
  • Survey 1 targeted all chiropractors; Survey 2 targeted clinic owners.
  • Results presented as tables and approximate percentages.

Main Results:

  • High response rates: 61% (Survey 1) and 71% (Survey 2).
  • Over two-thirds of chiropractors have practiced for less than a decade.
  • Solo practices are uncommon; most share premises with other health practitioners.
  • Radiologic equipment is present in 20% of clinics; ultrasound in 10%.
  • Manipulation is used by over 90%, with soft tissue and exercise modalities also common.
  • Over 75% adhere to clinical guidelines; one-third are open to research participation.

Conclusions:

  • The Norwegian chiropractic profession is young and satisfied with work conditions.
  • Increased intra- and inter-professional collaboration is a notable trend.
  • The profession aligns with modern evidence-based practice trends, using less radiography and adhering to guidelines.
