Surgical Fire Prevention And Management: An Objective Structured Clinical Examination For Nurse Anesthesia, Tate Fazio, Kaleb Killens
Surgical Fire Prevention And Management: An Objective Structured Clinical Examination For Nurse Anesthesia, Tate Fazio, Kaleb Killens
Doctoral Projects
Sentinel events in health care are rare events, often corresponding with permanent injury or death. Fires in the operating room (OR) are one type of sentinel event. Although rare due to possible life-threatening injuries to patients and staff, appropriate surgical fire education is critical in nurse anesthesia education, as anesthesia providers play a significant role in surgical fires (Wunder et al., 2020). The development of simulation exercises has the potential for students to experience and become competent in managing high-acuity, low-frequency events, such as surgical fires (Wunder et al., 2020). The Nurse Anesthesia Program (NAP) at The University of Southern …
Amniotic Fluid Embolism During Cesarean Section: An Objective Structured Clinical Exam, Mackenzie Acosta, Morgan Self
Amniotic Fluid Embolism During Cesarean Section: An Objective Structured Clinical Exam, Mackenzie Acosta, Morgan Self
Doctoral Projects
Amniotic Fluid Embolism is a rare obstetric event that has a high morbidity/mortality rate. It is imperative that the anesthesia provider be properly educated on how to recognize and treat an AFE. Prompt recognition and treatment, including the AOK regimen, increase the patient's chance of survival. The faculty for The University of Southern Mississippi’s Nurse Anesthesia Program acknowledged the need for an objective-based exam on Amniotic Fluid Embolism during the Cesarean section. The need for an educational tool on AFE prompted the creation of this doctoral project and resulted in an AFE OSCE which has been added to the OSCE …
Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist Simulation Training With The Use Of Cognitive Aids In Malignant Hyperthermia Recognition And Treatment, Daniel Martin
Doctoral Projects
One of the most stressful times in the life of a student registered nurse anesthetist (SRNA) is during the integration of didactic work with that of clinical anesthesia practice (Chipas et al., 2012). One method that has been proven effective in other avenues of student nursing education is the use of procedural simulation labs. These simulation labs allow SRNAs to experience what it is like to be in the operating room setting, while also showing distinct differences within each case, treatment, and the importance to be familiar with all aspects of anesthesia. The purpose of this project was to examine …
