Utilizing Gastric Point-Of-Care Ultrasound Assessment For Patients With Questionable Npo Status, Carolina Botero
Utilizing Gastric Point-Of-Care Ultrasound Assessment For Patients With Questionable Npo Status, Carolina Botero
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Perioperative aspiration is a rare but serious complication with high morbidity and mortality for patients. This event often occurs from anesthetic depression of protective airway reflexes. NPO guidelines are implemented before anesthesia to eliminate the presence of any gastric contents. However, patients with certain comorbidities may still persist with a full stomach before an anesthetic. Patients may complicate matters further by not following NPO instructions, the patient’s NPO status may be unknown, or the timing of surgery may prevent adequate NPO times. In these situations, the anesthesia provider is faced with the difficult decision to alter, delay or potentially cancel …
Utilizing The Anatomage Virtual Dissection Table For Learning Neuroanatomical Structures In Nurse Anesthesia Programs, Domenica Camaci-Douleh, Nicole Gorris

Certified registered nurse anesthetists are responsible for developing expertise in neuraxial anesthesia. A thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology is essential in the performance of subarachnoid and epidural blocks. Although cadaveric dissection is considered the gold standard for learning anatomy, student use of cadavers can become limited due to supervisory, ethical, accessibility, and financial constraints (Periya and Moro, 2019). In recent years, the evolution of technology has produced a virtual option for cadaver dissection (Washmuth et al., 2020). The anatomage virtual dissection table is a tool that could be used to increase knowledge of neuroanatomical structures and their spatial relationships …
Developing An Advocacy Campaign To Minimize Barriers To Srna Political Awareness, Alejandra Villescas
Developing An Advocacy Campaign To Minimize Barriers To Srna Political Awareness, Alejandra Villescas
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Continuous advocacy and political participation have secured better working conditions and recognition of certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), translating into better patient care. This project aimed to launch an advocacy campaign targeting student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNAs). A pre-lesson survey was designed to identify SRNAs’ political participation barriers and assess their political literacy. Additionally, a lesson was developed to help SRNAs’ understand CRNA advocacy. To evaluate the educational tool, a post-lesson survey was created. These materials were distributed via email to all SRNAs (n=320) enrolled in a CRNA program in Illinois. Only 51 students completed the pre-lesson survey, and 39 …
Management Of Ineffective Epidural For Cesarean Section, Miriam Ndenecho
Management Of Ineffective Epidural For Cesarean Section, Miriam Ndenecho
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
In the United States, epidural anesthesia is used for approximately 29-44% of cesarean sections (Carvalho, 2012). A failed or inadequate labor epidural is challenging to manage, especially when a cesarean section is imminent. A failed labor epidural is defined as insufficient pain relief within 45 min after placement, accidental dural puncture, re-siting or abandoning the procedure, and patient dissatisfaction at follow-up (Ismail et al., 2021). This project examined established best practices for managing a parturient with an ineffective labor epidural that requires a cesarean section. The literature review provided zero practice guidelines for the management of failed epidural for cesarean …

Development of Neuraxial Anesthesia Educational Videos for Nurse Anesthesia Students
Kaylie LaJeunesse, BSN, RN, SRNA & Mackenzie Schutt, BSN, RN, SRNA
Performance and evaluation of anesthetic procedures, specifically neuraxial anesthesia, are core components of nurse anesthesia curriculums. Teaching methods must provide nurse anesthesia students with the proper tools and knowledge to perform skills confidently and proficiently. Traditional teaching methods have fallen short of providing the necessary instruction for optimal student success. Incorporating video-learning resources on neuraxial anesthesia into course curriculums can significantly improve nurse anesthesia practice by better-preparing students for the clinical setting. Video learning increases student engagement and facilitates …

Adjuncts And Additives To Regional Anesthesia, Kaisi Dye, Kelcie Brunnert
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
With regional anesthesia becoming increasingly popular, an emphasis has been placed on choosing appropriate adjunct medications to local anesthetics for prolonging peripheral nerve blocks- lengthening postoperative pain control and decreasing perioperative narcotic usage. This project aimed to increase provider knowledge of the proven efficacy of block and adjunct selection for breast, shoulder, and knee surgeries with intended results being prolonged block duration and increased patient satisfaction post-operatively. A focused lecture along with a Likert-scale questionnaire and quiz were administered to a small sample of anesthesia providers at a rural Illinois hospital. Half (55.6%) of the providers showed evidence of knowledge …
Implementation Of A Glidescope Educational Program For Novice Student Registered Nurse Anesthesiologists, Joshua F. Snodgrass, Brian Bendel

GlideScope Video laryngoscopy carries a higher risk of injury to the pharyngeal cavity than direct laryngoscopy. Verathon is aware of this risk and has developed a proprietary “Four-step method” to mitigate it. This project aimed to reduce injuries related to GlideScope video laryngoscopy by providing first-year nurse anesthesiologists at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville with didactic and simulation education related to GlideScope video laryngoscopy and injury prevention. Didactic education was provided via a pre-recorded PowerPoint presentation. Simulation education was provided with the GlideScope and airway trainer manikins. The participants completed an identical 8-question pre-test and post-test to assess for knowledge gain …
