Utilization Of Quantitative Monitoring To Promptly Detect And Reduce The Occurrence Of Residual Paralysis In The Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, Kathryn Elizabeth Nokes, Erin Moran Travis
Utilization Of Quantitative Monitoring To Promptly Detect And Reduce The Occurrence Of Residual Paralysis In The Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, Kathryn Elizabeth Nokes, Erin Moran Travis
Doctoral Projects
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of an educational workshop using an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) on quantitative neuromuscular monitoring. The goal was to improve the knowledge and skills among certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) and student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNAs) in identifying residual paralysis. The specific aim was to determine the effectiveness of quantitative monitoring in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU).
Background: Residual paralysis following the administration of neuromuscular blocking drugs (NMBDs) is a significant postoperative complication. Neuromuscular blocking drugs (NMBD) facilitate airway management and manipulation of surgical fields. Quantitative monitoring can be crucial in early detection and …
Evaluation Of An Intervention To Maintain Therapeutic Pressure Of The Endotracheal Tube Cuff During Intraoperative Surgery, Jamare Reed
Doctoral Projects
The current practice of intraoperatively assessing the cuff pressure of the endotracheal tube (ETT) is arbitrary and potentially leads to negative impacts on patients. This best practice project aimed to review and synthesize the existing evidence-based literature on measuring ETT cuff pressure and to establish a policy guideline for anesthesia providers to measure ETT cuff pressure in the intraoperative environment. Based on the star model of the knowledge transformation framework model provided by the Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice (ACE), the creation of evidence-based policy on ETT cuff measurement is expected to potentially prevent poor patient outcomes, patient expenses, and …

Health care is a continually growing field. New hospitals are constantly being built, while older facilities are experiencing renovation and expansion. With this growth comes a set of difficulties for patients as they try to navigate through large, multi-building facilities. Most large facilities have multiple parking garages, numerous buildings, and medical towers with an unending number of floors. Patients are forced to rely on directional signage to find their destination that is often insufficient. Attempting to navigate through large facilities is often overwhelming for visitors leading to frustration and stress.
New technology has allowed a convenient solution to this problem …
