Is Simulation Effective in Improving Patient Safety?
March 17, 2013
The answer may be no, or we don’t know. Dr. Jerry Hogan CRNA, DNSc reviews everything we know about simulation, it’s advantages, and uses in modern day health care provider training. But finding the answer in evidence about whether it changes patient safety outcomes proves more challenging than we realize.
Memorable note: Do you really want to “try” a new drug out on a real patient? Simulation offers an alternative!
Anesthesia and the law
March 17, 2013
Jan Manino CRNA, JD walks us through the evolution of liability and anesthesia. As a legislative pioneer for nurse anesthetists in the modern healthcare system.
Memorable note: Once you engage in the care of a patient you have a duty till the care can be safely transferred.

Intralipid Therapy for Local Anesthetic Toxicity
March 16, 2013
Dr. Philipp Lirk MD reviews the basic science behind how we came to discover the use of intralipid to treat local anesthetic toxicity and an intriguing view into what happens during treatment at the molecular level.
Memorable note: Intra-lipid therapy are a treatment option, but not a guaranteed antidote to bupivicaine toxicity
How Well Do We Really Control Pain?
March 16, 2013
Dr. Juergen Osterbrink from PMU in Salzburg, Austria presented the significant changes he has been able to oversee in terms of the culture of pain assessment and the multi disciplinary intervention of pain control. He started with a pain free hospital goal, then a city, then a country, a culture, and in his mind, now the world.
Memorable note: Qualified Pain Management is evidenced by good pain and symptom control. You have to ask not only is there pain, but how are you willing to treat it!
