DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis 2nd edition focuses on the preprocedural, procedural, and postprocedural care of the moderately sedated patient. It is designed for any clinician involved in the administration of moderate sedation and written by a clinician involved in the practice on a daily basis. The primary focus of this new edition is to provide all the content and tools necessary to demonstrate competency in moderate sedation/analgesia. Includes a greater focus on the core competencies necessary for clinical practice. Concept Checks are integrated throughout to help the learner assess the mastering of the content presented. Includes the recommended standards of practice from the ANA, AORN, American Academy of Pediatrics, and JCAHO's Sample Policies & Procedures. Contains sample clinical competencies for moderate sedation so the book can be used as a study guide and measurement tool. Incorporates throughout important information on the specific moderate sedation parameters of the pediatric and geriatric patients addressing preprocedural assessment, physiologic variations, pharmacologic considerations and sedative techniques. Includes a comprehensive pharmacologic profile of each medication used in the moderate sedation practice setting. Follows a recommended 'core curriculum' format, but each idea and concept are discussed in detail. Increased integration of actual Clinical Scenarios facilitates the application of content knowledge and utilization of critical thinking skills. Integration of herbal preparations and their impact on pre-sedation care. Latest JCAHO Sedation/Anesthesia Guidelines (2004) incorporated throughout. A larger trim size (8.5 x 11) provides more of a 'manual' feel and allows the reader to make notes and work through various tools throughout the book.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe purpose of the study was to identify anesthesia clinical core competencies that are appropriate for evaluating proficiency utilizing High Fidelity Human Simulation (HFHS). This purpose was achieved by identifying the perceptions of nurse anesthesia educational program administrators and faculty regarding the anesthesia clinical core competencies that are appropriate for evaluating proficiency utilizing HFHS. Participants completed a 50-item web-based survey instrument and demographic questionnaire (Anesthesia Core Competency and Simulation Survey). High fidelity human simulation (HFHS) based evaluation of anesthesia clinical core competency proficiency can be a valuable tool for assessing anesthesia trainees, certifying nurse anesthetists, and recertifying nurse anesthetists. Evidence from this study suggests there is a consensus among anesthesia educational program administrators and faculty regarding anesthesia clinical core competencies that are appropriate for proficiency evaluation utilizing HFHS. Anesthesia educational program administrators and faculty in the United States agree that with the exception of Prone Position (appropriateness score = 2.99, with 3 being neutral), the required experiences put forth by the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs and the National Board for Certification and Recertification of Nurse Anesthetists are suitable for evaluating proficiency utilizing HFHS. Thus, the agreement among administrators and educators that emerged from this study provides a foundation on which faculty can begin to incorporate HFHS into their curricula.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book functions as a practical guide for the use of simulation in anesthesiology. Divided into five parts, it begins with the history of simulation in anesthesiology, its relevant pedagogical principles, and the modes of its employment. Readers are then provided with a comprehensive review of simulation technologies as employed in anesthesiology and are guided on the use of simulation for a variety of learners: undergraduate and graduate medical trainees, practicing anesthesiologists, and allied health providers. Subsequent chapters provide a ‘how-to” guide for the employment of simulation across wide range of anesthesiology subspecialties before concluding with a proposed roadmap for the future of translational simulation in healthcare. The Comprehensive Textbook of Healthcare Simulation: Anesthesiology is written and edited by leaders in the field and includes hundreds of high-quality color surgical illustrations and photographs.
