DNP Scholarly Projects

Pain management in the laboring patient continues to arise with challenges of safety, efficacy and comfort. Nitrous oxide is an option for managing laboring women’s pain. However, the lack of education for perinatal teams across the United States regarding nitrous oxide administration in the labor patients omits a successful pain management option. The purpose of this Doctor of Nursing Practice project is to create an evidence-and theoretically-based education module for the labor and delivery team, incorporating an instructional video to build knowledge on the use of nitrous oxide in the laboring mother.

Evidence-Based Educational Modules On The Safe Delivery Of Anesthesia In Mri Suites, Mandy Cesco-Cancian, Taylor Crofoot

DNP Scholarly Projects

Few citations were located on the formal education on MRI patient safety for anesthesia providers administering anesthesia services in MRI suites. Consequently, patients and staff may be at risk for injury or death during MRI procedures and health care institutions can be threatened with financial loss secondary to legal exposure, equipment damage and resultant morbidity and mortality associated with MRI patient safety events. This doctoral project will create three evidence-based continuing education modules to educate anesthesia providers on the operation of the MRI unit, potential MRI associated risks and complications, and specific anesthesia considerations for providers assigned to the MRI …
