a Modified Method That Improved Residency Neuraxial Anesthesia Performance and Reduced Patient Complications

National Taiwan University Hospital·observational·Posted Jan 3, 2018·Updated Jan 3, 2018

In Brief

An observational study evaluating spinal anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, and 1 other intervention for Anesthesia. Completed, enrolled 518 participants.

Detailed Summary

Residency training includes positive and negative aspects. Well-trained doctors must be educated, but the process may bring additional risks to patients. Anesthesiologists' performance when conducting neuraxial anesthesia is related to their experience. We hypothesized that a modified neuraxial anesthesia method would improve both residency training and patient safety.

Interventions

spinal anesthesiaprocedure

For conventional spinal anesthesia, injection site was 1 cm lateral and 1 cm caudal to the spinous process, and the needle was directed cephalad and medially to the epidural-subarachnoid space by the operator. For modified method, we reduced the distance from 1cm to 0.5cm in each directions.

epidural anesthesiaprocedure

For conventional epidural anesthesia, injection site was 1 cm lateral and 1 cm caudal to the spinous process, and the needle was directed cephalad and medially to the epidural-subarachnoid space by the operator. For modified method, we reduced the distance from 1cm to 0.5cm in each directions.

combined spinal-epidural anesthesiaprocedure

For conventional combined spinal-epidural anesthesia, injection site was 1 cm lateral and 1 cm caudal to the spinous process, and the needle was directed cephalad and medially to the epidural-subarachnoid space by the operator. For modified method, we reduced the distance from 1cm to 0.5cm in each directions.
