Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia01:11

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia

1.5K
Spinal anesthetics are given during lower abdomen and limb surgeries to block sensory and motor neurons. They are administered in the mid to low lumbar regions, primarily acting on the cauda equina's nerve roots. The blockade level depends on the local anesthetic (LA) concentration. Usually, low LA concentrations are sufficient to block sensory fibers, while only high LA concentrations block motor fibers. Other factors like injection volume and speed, the patient's posture, and the drug...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

760
Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Intravenous Regional Anesthesia01:16

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Intravenous Regional Anesthesia

1.4K
Intravenous regional anesthesia or the Bier block technique is used to anesthetize a specific limb or extremity. It uses exsanguinated or blood-drained vessels to transport local anesthetics or LAs to the peripheral nerve trunks. Lidocaine without vasoconstrictors like epinephrine is most commonly used for this technique. Other drugs used are prilocaine, ropivacaine, and chloroprocaine. Bupivacaine is not recommended for this technique due to its high cardiac toxicity.
One of the advantages of...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

14.1K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Surface, Infiltration, and Conduction Block Anesthesia

2.1K
Depending on the target organ, local anesthetics (LAs) can be administered via various routes. In surface anesthesia, LAs are applied directly to the surface of the skin or mucous membranes. It is widely used for topical skin numbing before venipuncture or minor surgical procedures. Commonly used surface local anesthetics are lidocaine or benzocaine sprays or creams. Surface anesthesia occurs within 5 minutes and lasts for about 60 minutes. One of the main disadvantages of topical anesthesia is...

In Vitro Drug Release Testing: Overview, Development and Validation

363
In vitro dissolution and drug release tests assess how quickly and how much of a drug is released from its dosage form into an aqueous medium under standardized laboratory conditions. These tests are essential tools in pharmaceutical development and quality assurance, offering insight into the drug's performance before clinical use.During formulation development, dissolution testing identifies incomplete or inconsistent drug release issues. It also supports decisions on selecting the optimal...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Anesthesiology Training
  • Healthcare Simulation

Background:

  • Effective anesthesia teaching in the operating theatre is crucial for trainee development.
  • Existing educational environment measures may lack applicability across diverse training jurisdictions.
  • A need exists for a contemporary, validated tool to assess anesthesia learning environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the Measure for the Anaesthesia Theatre Educational Environment (MATE) survey.
  • To create a tool applicable across various international anesthesia training programs.
  • To provide a reliable instrument for evaluating the operating theatre educational environment.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review and modified Delphi approach for item generation and content validity.
  • Pilot survey of anesthesia trainees followed by reliability and exploratory factor analyses for construct validity.
  • Refinement of the survey through statistical analysis and global assessment of factor structure.

Main Results:

  • The MATE survey was refined to 33 items across four domains: teaching preparation, assessment, procedures, and atmosphere.
  • The pilot survey yielded 390 responses, demonstrating excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.975).
  • Trainees rated the overall educational environment at 74.6 ± 15.6%.

Conclusions:

  • The MATE survey is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the anesthesia operating theatre educational environment.
  • Further research is needed to explore international variations and factors influencing junior doctor training.
  • Researchers are encouraged to utilize the MATE survey and contribute to a central database.
