Sugammadex Versus Neostigmine: Operating Room Time And Cost, Annie Benscheidt, Kenn B Daratha

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Background The choice of neuromuscular blockade reversal agents impacts cost and operating room time. Currently, the two medications used to reverse neuromuscular blockade are Neostigmine and Sugammadex. These medications differ in both cost and pharmacologic profiles which effect the time and predictability of reversal (Carron, Zarantonello, Tellaroli, & Ori, 2016). Evaluating cost and time differences in reversal using Sugammadex and Neostigmine helps anesthesia providers select the appropriate medication. This evidence based practice project examined the difference in case length and operating room and reversal agent costs in cases using Sugammadex and Neostigmine at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center.

Vision:

To reduce suffering and death from cancer using information collected by the Louisiana Tumor Registry.

History:

Cancer registration in Louisiana began in 1947 at the Charity Hospital Tumor Registry in New Orleans. In 1974, as part of its Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program, the National Cancer Institute provided funds for a population-based cancer incidence and survival registry covering Jefferson, Orleans, and St. Bernard parishes. Five years later, the Louisiana Tumor Registry (LTR) was transferred to the …

We all need shots (vaccines) to help protect us from serious diseases. This protection is called immunization and it is in place to help keep our community safe. Shots can prevent serious diseases like the flu, measles, and pneumonia. It’s important to know which shots you need and when to get them.

General Anesthetic Induction Sequence High Fidelity Simulation: Determining Efficacy Among Novice Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists, Alex Wilkie, Steven Urbick, Kenn B Daratha

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Background High Fidelity Simulation (HFS) is used across multiple health professions. Despite the wide variety of clinical experiences that Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists (SRNA) possess prior to training, the induction sequence to a General Anesthetic (GA) is a daunting task. Although the efficacy of HFS has been widely studied within undergraduate nursing programs, there are no studies published determining the efficacy of HFS on SRNA training. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of simulation training amongst entry-level SRNA’s and examine any individual participant factors that may influence clinical performance within HFS.

Methods • Human subjects were …

Comparison Of Ondansetron, Dexamethasone, And Its Combination In The Prevention Of Postoperative Nausea And Vomiting, Alina Palanchuk, Kenn B Daratha

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Background Postoperative nausea and vomiting remains a common and unpleasant side effect for patients following surgery. Uncontrolled PONV can result in prolonged hospital stays, unanticipated hospital readmissions, and decreased patient satisfaction. The Apfel score identifies and counts independent risk factors for PONV; females, non-smokers, postoperative opioid use, and history of PONV or motion sickness. Rates of PONV increases as the number of risk factors increase. The primary intervention to decrease PONV is administration of prophylactic antiemetics. Research supports the use of combination antiemetic therapy for patients with a high number of risk factors. The purpose of this evidence based practice …

Ultrasound Simulation For Regional Anesthesia, Kayla Brown, Kenn B Daratha

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Background Regional anesthesia is an essential skill in the practice of Nurse Anesthesia, and future employment demands expertise. Literature supports the addition of simulation training to existing didactic and apprenticeship education to improve clinical expertise. The purpose of this project was to trial simulation training, focused on anatomical visualization with ultrasound for regional anesthesia, as a means to improve student performance and confidence.

Methods • Facility project approval and exemption determination by IRB. • Hands-On Test: Ultrasound to obtain visualization for axillary (cohort 1), interscalene (cohort 2) block on live-model. Expert CRNA observed performance to determine if image was clinically …

Intraoperative Opioid Administration Among Cancer Patients, Amanda Barrett, Kenn B Daratha

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Background Cancer prevalence continues to rise. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that opioid receptor agonists may be associated with poor outcomes for cancer patients. Laboratory studies have shown that opioids cause immunosuppression; tumor cell progression, recurrence and metastasis. The surgical environment further decreases immune function, causes an inflammatory response and promotes cancer cell mobilization. Anesthesia providers are in a unique position to influence postoperative outcomes. Opioid free anesthetic delivery is a growing trend amongst anesthesia providers and is supported by the literature. The purpose of this project is to compare intraoperative opioid administration rates for patients with …

Transfusion Ratios Following Activation Of A Massive Transfusion Protocol: An Evidence Based Practice Project, Cody Woodbury, Kenn B Daratha

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Background Accidental injury is one of the leading causes of death in the United States and worldwide. Severe hemorrhage from injury is the leading cause of preventable death. Effective management of hemorrhaging trauma patients has been evolving since the early 1900’s. Recent studies have demonstrated the benefits of using a balanced resuscitation technique, revolving around the goal of recreating whole blood. The purpose of this project was to identify what ratios of blood products are being transfused at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center (PSHMC) and Providence Holy Family Hospital (PHFH).

Methods A literature review was performed identifying seven high quality …

Interoperable Knowledge Modeling In Emergency Care: Application Of The Hl7 Emergency Care Domain Analysis Model, James C. Mcclay, Laura Heermann Langford

Posters and Presentations: Emergency Medicine

The Emergency Care System (ECS) in the United States provides intermittent unscheduled care to an increasing number of patients annually. Every ECS patient encounter generates data in a myriad of unlinked systems at regional emergency services and hospitals. Often, their prior health records are not available in a timely manner, fragmented, or not found. To address availability and interoperability data relevant to emergency care, the Health Level Seven (HL7) Emergency Care Workgroup seeks to ensure evolving health data interoperability standards incorporate ECS considerations. Foundational to that effort is a comprehensive model of Emergency Care information. This emergency care domain analysis …

Transforming Trauma: Resilience And Healing Through Our Connections With Animals, Philip Tedeschi, Molly Anne Jenkins

Purdue University Press Books

Have you ever looked deep into the eyes of an animal and felt entirely known? Often, the connections we share with non-human animals represent our safest and most reliable relationships, offering unique and profound opportunities for healing in periods of hardship. This book focuses on research developments, models, and practical applications of human-animal connection and animal-assisted intervention for diverse populations who have experienced trauma. Physiological and psychological trauma are explored across three broad and interconnected domains: 1) child maltreatment and family violence; 2) acute and post-traumatic stress, including military service, war, and developmental trauma; and 3) times of crisis, such …

Case Study: Effects Of Psychosocial Factors On A Geriatric Patient With Guillain Barré Syndrome, Keane Evangelista, Mary Pent Hunter, Jessica Phung, Aum Tejani, Lee Anne H. Robotta

San Marcos, Summer 2019

The purpose of this case report is to determine how a change in intrinsic motivation and environmental factors help physical and functional improvements in a 77-year-old male patient with Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS) in the geriatric population. Interventions to promote this change included patient education about lifestyle choices along with endurance and balance exercises.

Patient psychological state, community access, and general education about interventions/dosing had an effect on the patient's participation in his prescribed HEP. His comorbidities hindered his overall progress over the course of his treatment and should be addressed to improve patient outcomes. Activities that were more salient …
