Background: Anesthesia providers are subjected to chemical, biological, physical, ergonomic, and psychosocial risk factors that threaten the individual's health. While pregnancy alone is not considered an independent...
Background and Review of Literature: Spinal anesthesia is the current gold standard of practice for providing care in elective cesarean sections. However, spinal anesthesia is commonly associated with untoward side effects...
Background: The most common causes of morbidity during general anesthesia in pediatrics are airway and respiratory complications that commonly occur in both healthy children and infants. The high stress environment of...
There has been increased attention to pain control as well as patient satisfaction following surgical procedures. The interest in pain control coupled with the growing opioid epidemic has prompted anesthesia providers to...
Inadequate pain management during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy can affect postoperative hemodynamics, impair recovery, and extend hospital stay. The use of opioid medications during and after surgeries can reduce...
Patients with class three obesity, formerly defined as morbid or extreme obesity, presenting for anesthesia come with an increased risk of experiencing complications. The oxygen storage capabilities and the functional residual...
Background and Review of Literature: This study examined individual opinions from healthcare providers in Indiana about their willingness to prescribe Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for Human Immunodeficiency Virus...
Medication errors and interactions happen every day in the perioperative setting. It is the responsibility of the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) nurse to manage pain, nausea, vomiting, and maintain hemodynamics after surgery...
Background: Many surgical procedures require muscle paralysis of the patient to ensure optimum operating conditions. Monitoring the level of paralysis is an important responsibility of the nurse anesthetist throughout...
In the intraoperative setting, the intersection of hand hygiene practices and contamination of the anesthesia workstation presents a critical juncture for reducing hospital acquired infections that ultimately lead to increased...
In 1984, Ultrasound-Guided (USG) Intravenous (IV) access was first used to place central venous catheters (CVC) in real-time. This led to increased success rates, reduced procedural times, decreased site associated...
Background and Review of Literature: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) frequently occur in patients after anesthesia, significantly impacting patient satisfaction and potentially leading to untoward complications....
Background and Review of Literature: Caesarean sections are one of the most performed procedures in the operating room. Managing pain for these patients is vital to ensure a positive birthing experience for mothers and...
Background and Review of Literature: The presurgical anesthesia machine check is a critical procedure that all anesthesia providers must be capable of performing. Failing to perform an anesthesia machine check increases...
Background: Malignant hyperthermia is a disorder of the skeletal muscle that can present as a hypermetabolic response to triggering agents. Anesthesia providers frequently administer these triggers in the operating room....
Anesthesia providers who give spinal anesthetics in obstetric anesthesia commonly witness spinal induced hypotension (SIH) in patients due to the sympathetic blockade after injection. This DNP project evaluated Indiana...
Background and Review of Literature: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the most common patient complications following general anesthesia. Recent literature supports the practice of supplemental intravenous...
Creating a focused simulation design promotes an essential structure needed to support SRNA confidence and performance success on GA inductions. Additionally, the successful completion of simulation designs is consistent with...
The use of perioperative opioids for pain management can come with great consequences as the opioid crisis is more prevalent than ever. In the US, nearly 70% of all opioid tablets prescribed after surgery become problematic as...
Introduction: The didactic year in Marian University's Nurse Anesthesia program equips students with a comprehensive understanding of anesthesia's core concepts, including pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physics. The first...
