P atient positioning is an important aspect of anesthesia practice. Based on data from the American Society of Anesthesiologists Closed Claims Project database, advancements in research, improvements in airway management and education, and development of airway devices have resulted in a substantial decrease in respiratory complications—at one time the major cause of anesthesia-related morbidit...

Introduction. The curriculum of every program is designed to achieve its goal. The educational objectives are the reflection of the students’ theoretical knowledge and the practical skills they have learnt during this period. The collection, the presentation and the evaluation of the program depend on the educational objectives. The anesthesia educational rotation has been conducted in Shiraz m...

BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the correlation between the anxiety scores of parents whose children are administered anesthesia for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the level of information provided to them before the MRI. The study included 146 children and their parents. The demographic information of the children and their parents was recorded. The parents were divided into two group...

BACKGROUND Anesthetics administered to immature brains may cause histopathological changes and long-term behavioral abnormalities. The association between perinatal exposure to anesthetics during Cesarean delivery (CD) and development of learning disabilities (LD) was determined in a population-based birth cohort. METHODS The educational and medical records of all children born to mothers res...

Background: Multiple studies in the primary care field have indicated benefits of using a patient centered approach communication with patient; such interviewing methods been shown to improve satisfaction and adherence. There is scarcity anesthetic literature regarding skills perioperative period. The goal analyze what extent empathic patient-centered are being used by anesthesia providers. Com...

UNLABELLED In this systematic review, we compared the effectiveness of media-based patient education about anesthesia. Fifteen randomized controlled trials (n = 1506) were identified after a systematic search of electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PSYCINFO, The Cochrane Controlled Trials Registry), published articles, and contact with authors. Outcomes assessed were anxiety, knowledg...

PURPOSE The primary objective of this study was to assess anesthesia residents' opinions and perceptions on wellness/burnout, fatigue, education, and patient safety after the initiation of a reduced call model (16-hour call). METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted at three time points during the 2013-2014 academic year. A web-based questionnaire consisting of 23 questions was electr...

Introduction. Web-based learning (WBL) is increasingly used in medical education; however, residency training programs often lack guidance on its implementation. We describe how the use of feasibility studies can guide the use of WBL in anesthesia residency training. Methods. Two case-based WBL emergency airway management modules were developed for self-directed use by anesthesia residents. The...
