Task-based Credentialing for Medical Officers in Spinal Anesthesia: An Innovative Approach to the Specialist Workforce Crisis in Rural Indian Hospitals Curriculum Training of Medical Officers
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating delivery of the spinal anesthetic by a trained medical officer and delivery of spinal anesthetic by a consultant anesthetist for Spinal Anesthesia and Task Sharing in Anesthetic Delivery in Areas With Limited Access to Care. Completed, enrolled 486 participants across 4 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
Test the safety and effectiveness of training medical officers in the provision of spinal anesthesia in a rural hospital context using a non-inferiority randomized trial. The safety and effectiveness of the MOs will be evaluated through a non-inferiority trial in which patients are randomized to care by a trained MO or an anesthesiologist. The primary outcomes are safety (adherence to adapted anesthesia safety checklist- see supporting documents "Adapted Anesthesia Safety Checklist") and effectiveness (adequate analgesia) of spinal anesthesia.
