Improving Postanesthesia Care Unit (PACU) Delays: A Quality Improvement Project
CONCLUSIONS: PACU delays were mostly due to reasons outside the OT. Further, follow-up is needed to assess the sustainability of these improvements and identify any new challenges that may arise.PMID:38363267 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.12.001 (Source: Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing)

Correlation of Block Success with Perfusion Index Measurement in Cases of Pediatric Surgery Under Caudal Epidural Block Anesthesia
CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained from our study show that the increase in PI values is associated with caudal epidural block success. The PI value is more rapid, sensitive and objective than those produced by other parameters. Benefits include an earlier change in anesthesia management due to block failure and faster initiation to surgery, which reduces exposure to anesthetic chemicals.PMID:38363268 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.11.012 (Source: Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing)

Differential Utilization of Parental Presence and Premedication for Induction of Anesthesia in Pediatric Patients
CONCLUSIONS: This study supports previous work showing differential use of parental presence at induction based on race. Additionally, it also shows different treatment based on sex and public insurance status, a surrogate for socioeconomic status.PMID:38363269 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.11.013 (Source: Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing)

Differential Utilization of Parental Presence and Premedication for Induction of Anesthesia in Pediatric Patients
Known disparities exist in pain treatment between African American, Latino, and White children. A recent study described ‘adultification’ of Black children, with Black children being less likely to have a parent present at induction of anesthesia and less likely to receive an anxiolytic premedication before proceeding to the operating room. The aim of this study is to identify differences based on race and socioec onomic status when treating children and their families for anesthetic induction. We hypothesize that differences exist such that certain populations are less likely to receive sedative premedication and less...

Improving Postanesthesia Care Unit (PACU) Delays: A Quality Improvement Project
Delays within the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) are a major cause of complications and inefficiency. In this project, we investigated the factors associated with delays in the PACU and implemented policies to mitigate these factors. (Source: Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing)

Correlation of Block Success with Perfusion Index Measurement in Cases of Pediatric Surgery Under Caudal Epidural Block Anesthesia
One of the regional anesthetic procedures, caudal epidural block, is important for lower extremities surgeries in the pediatric patient population. The perfusion index (PI) value, which reflects vasomotor tone, can be used to indicate block success. The aim was to compare the role of perfusion index, heart rate, and mean arterial pressure in detecting the success of caudal epidural block and to investigate whether perfusion index was an earlier indicator in determining the success of the block in pediatric surgery cases.

Relation of Early Mobility With Gastrointestinal Symptoms and Pain in Patients Undergoing Abdominal Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: The results of the study showed that increased mobility had a positive relationship with the reduction of gastrointestinal symptoms and pain.

Conducting a research study requires a collaborative effort, whether part of an academic exercise involving a student and faculty mentor or part of a clinical investigation by a nursing unit. The term “team science”1 applies to these efforts contributing to a body of knowledge. While team science offers numerous advantages by bringing together the expertise of clinicians and academic researchers it also creates potential challenges. One such hurdle is who and how to recognize individuals when publishing the research findings. (Source: Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing)
