A Single Dose of Intrathecal Morphine Without Local Anesthetic Provides Long-Lasting Postoperative Analgesia After Radical Prostatectomy and Nephrectomy
CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study confirmed that preoperative intrathecal morphine provides long-lasting analgesia and reduces the need for postoperative systemic administration of opioids. Adverse effects are minor and comparable between groups.PMID:38300193 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.10.019 (Source: Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing)

Comparison of the Effects of Aromatherapy With Damask Rose and Chamomile Essential Oil on Preoperative Pain and Anxiety in Emergency Orthopedic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: The use of damask rose and chamomile in aromatherapy was found to effectively lower anxiety and pain levels in emergency orthopedic surgery patients. The antianxiety effect of damask rose is faster than chamomile.PMID:38300194 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.10.021 (Source: Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing)

The Perception and Use of Dexmedetomidine Among Anesthesia Providers: A Quality Improvement Project
CONCLUSIONS: While there was no significant change in opioid-related complications as is found in the literature, the project education and support led to anesthesia provider interest in using dexmedetomidine, resulting in a significant increase in use. Similar projects should include education for postanesthesia care nurses.PMID:38300195 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.11.005 (Source: Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing)

Inadvertent Hypothermia in the Perspective of Operating Room Nurses: A Phenomenological Qualitative Study
CONCLUSIONS: The findings showed that the majority of the participants were aware of inadvertent hypothermia and its risk factors, and frequently encountered inadvertent hypothermia despite implementing preventive measures.PMID:38300196 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.11.009 (Source: Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing)

The Effect of Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) and Nursing Guide Application on Postoperative Patient Outcomes: A Randomized Controlled Study
CONCLUSIONS: In patients followed up according to MEWS, NGA had a positive effect on preventing the development of complications and shortening the intervention time for complications, decreasing ICU admission, decreasing MEWS and increasing the number of nursing interventions. Based on the results, it may be recommended to use MEWS+NGA in the early postoperative period as it positively affects patient outcomes.PMID:38300197 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.10.023 (Source: Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing)

The Perception and Use of Dexmedetomidine Among Anesthesia Providers: A Quality Improvement Project
Intraoperative opioid use is associated with postoperative nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, and persistent postoperative pain, all of which contribute to increased length of stay and health  care costs. Although research shows adding dexmedetomidine as an adjunct leads to reduced opioid-related postoperative complications, many anesthesia providers are not using this medication. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to increase the use of dexmedetomidine among anesthesia providers to improve outcomes among spinal and orthopedic surgery patients.

The Sub-Post-Tetanic “Bergin Zone” of Paralysis and its Impact on Neuromuscular Monitoring and Reversal
In 1846, the experiments of Claude Bernard showed that curare injected into the limb of a frog prevented muscle contractions from nerve stimulation, however, the muscle continued to respond when stimulated directly. The discovery of neuromuscular blocking agents revolutionized the practice of anesthesia with the synthesis of gallamine in 1947. The ability to reliably produce muscle weakness allowed for a reduction in amnestics and analgesics as well as their associated side effects and this was the genesis of today ’s balanced anesthetic technique.

The Influential Role of Leadership: Seeking Grace
A great migration of veteran perianesthesia nurse managers is rapidly occurring within perianesthesia nursing units due to transfers to less stressful jobs, retirements, and at times, sudden serious illnesses and/or unexpected deaths. New nurse managers who have little or no previous management or leadership experience are quickly positioned to fill vacant roles. The complexity increases, as new graduates may have had minimal or no clinical rotations during their nursing programs due to the COVID pandemic. (Source: Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing)
