A survey of Canadian specialist anesthesiologists and family practice anesthetists: rural operating room use, a mixed model of care, and mentoring
CONCLUSION: This survey shows perceived capacity to expand surgical services in rural areas, a precedent for a mixed SA-FPA model of anesthesia delivery at the same site, and desire for anesthesia providers to engage in mentoring. Such options should be considered to strengthen the physician-led anesthesiology profession in Canada.PMID:38413517 | DOI:10.1007/s12630-024-02708-2 (Source: Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia)

A quasi-experimental evaluation of the association between implementation of Quality-Based Procedures funding for hip fractures and improvements in processes and outcomes for hip fracture patients in Ontario: an interrupted time series analysis
CONCLUSION: Evaluation of the QBP program is crucial to inform ongoing and future changes to policy and funding for hip fracture care. The introduction of the QBP Hip Fracture program, supported by evidence-based recommendations, was associated with improved application of some evidence-based processes of care but no changes in clinical outcomes. There is a need for ongoing development and evaluation of funding models to identify optimal strategies to improve the value and outcomes of hip fracture care.STUDY REGISTRATION: Open Science Framework ( https://osf.io/2938h/ ); first posted 13 June 2022.PMID:38409524 | DOI:10.100...

A threshold of 100 or more colony-forming units on the anesthesia machine predicts bacterial pathogen detection: a retrospective laboratory-based analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Anesthesia machine reservoir samples returning < 100 CFU were associated with negligible pathogen detection. This threshold can be used for assessment of terminal, routine, and between-case cleaning of the anesthesia machine and equipment. Such feedback may be useful because the 44% prevalence of ≥ 100 CFU was comparable to the 46% (25/54) reported earlier from an unrelated hospital.PMID:38413516 | DOI:10.1007/s12630-024-02707-3 (Source: Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia)
