Risk assessment of nurse anesthetist job using hybrid AHP-CoCoSo
Authors
Abstract:
Background and purpose:Anesthesiology experts are exposed to significant risks due to advancements in anesthesia techniques and surgery, as well as the emergence of modern equipment and newer drugs, along with increased responsibilities and expectations. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of providing a model for assessing the risks and hazards existing in this profession. Materials and methods:Initially, various sources, including interviews with experts and reviews of articles, were used to extract occupational risks in the field of nurse anesthetist. Subsequently, the study criteria, including consequence, probability, and exposure, were determined, and the weighting of these criteria was calculated using AHP.Finally, the prioritization of different risks was determined using CoCoSo. Results: Based on the results of determining the weights of criteria using the AHP, it was identified that the consequence with a weight of 0.43 is the most important criterion, while the exposure criterion with a weight of 0.27 is the least important criterion in this study. Also, among the investigated risks, inhaling anesthetic gases while wearing a mask, filling a vaporizer(R5) was selected as the most dangerous risk, followed by skin contact with scrubs or blood, patient's secretions or infected tissues(R1), needle sticking during venipuncture,patient's spinal anesthesia(R12), which were selected as the second and third most dangerous risks in anesthesiology experts job, respectively. Conclusion: In this study it was established that the proposed method can be used for risk assessment and prioritization of occupational hazards in the job of a nurse anesthetist as well as other professions

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
Pediatric anesthesia--guidelines for the nurse anesthetist.
Pediatric anesthesia has developed concurrently with pediatric surgery. Improved surgical techniques plus the introduction of antibiotics as well as greater knowledge of fluid and electrolyte therapy and improved anesthetic drugs and techniques, have recognized that the child is not just a small adult. Among the first to contribute to the development of modern pediatric anesthesia were Digby Le...

In 2007, the Department of Anesthesia at the University of Iowa established an anesthesiologist-supervised nurse-managed sedation program. In 2008, the use of propofol and dexmedetomidine by nurses was approved in Iowa. We reviewed 11,038 elective sedation cases done between January 1, 2007, and June 30, 2014. Caseload increased from 170 to 470 cases/quarter. Propofol use increased from 0% to a...
full textThe Noncompete Clause and the Nurse Anesthetist: An Assessment of Knowledge, Perception, and Experience.
Economic pressures and the challenge to maintain competitive advantage have resulted in many healthcare entities requiring their practitioners to contractually enter into noncompete clauses (NCCs). Many student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNAs) and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) are unaware of NCCs in employee contracts. An anonymous, web-based questionnaire regarding NCCs ...
