Effect of sleep deprivation on labour epidural catheter placement

Par

Background Epidural catheter insertion for labour analgesia is an invasive procedure with potential serious complications, often performed by a sleep-deprived clinician. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of sleep deprivation on physicians of variable levels of experience performing this procedural skill in the clinical setting.
Methods After institutional review board approval, anaesthetists of three levels of experience were recruited: novice residents (<30 epidurals, n=9), experienced residents (>100 epidurals, n=8), and attending anaesthetists (>500 epidurals,n=12). All participants were measured twice, rested and sleep deprived in a random order while performing a labour epidural for analgesia. Our primary outcome measures were scores achieved on the Imperial College Surgical Assessment Device (ICSAD) (measuring path length, number of movements, and time), task-specific checklist (CL), and global rating scale (GRS). Sleep deprivation was documented by the ActiGraph™ and Epworth sleepiness scale.
Results Subjects were adequately sleep deprived for their sleep deprivation observation. Data were analysed with a two-way mixed design analysis of variance. No significant difference in the effect of sleep deprivation on performance was detected between the groups on the ICSAD measures of movement (P=0.86), path length (P=0.79), and time (P=0.80), or for the CL (P=0.65), and GRS (P=0.86).
Conclusions The performance of this procedural skill in a clinical setting does not seem to be affected by sleep deprivation irrespective of the level of experience.

Systemic Lidocaine Decreased the Perioperative Opioid Analgesic Requirements but Failed to Reduce Discharge Time After Ambulatory Surgery

Par
Perioperative systemic lidocaine significantly reduces opioid requirements in the ambulatory setting without affecting time to discharge. Postoperative pain is the most common reason for delay in discharge and unplanned hospital admission after ambulatory surgery. 1–3 Because postoperative pain is to a large extent an inflammatory phenomenon, administration of systemic local anesthetics, which have inflammatory modulatory properties, 4 could significantly reduce pain and therefore allow more rapid discharge. 5 Lidocaine has an excellent safety record when administered by low-dose infusion. 5–7 However, whereas decreased hospital stay after inpatient surgery has been demonstrated, the effect of intraoperative and early postoperative lidocaine infusion on duration of stay after ambulatory surgery is not known. Although it see...
