Impact of resident training on anaesthesia induction times
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: The increasing role of ambulatory surgery has emphasized the need for an anaesthetic technique with smooth induction and rapid recovery and minimal side effects. It may have an impact of training. The effect of resident training in anaesthesiology economics is an issue of debate.Aim: To study the impact of resident training on anaesthesia induction times.Material and Methods: Anaesthesia induction time was studied in 150 patients who were randomly selected. 30 patients each are induced by one of the techniques and equally divided between the two resident groups. Half of them were induced by resident group J (Anaesthesia residents who have training experience of one and half years or less, minimum 6 months training was completed) and the other half by resident group S (Anaesthesia residents who have training experience of more than one and half years).Results: The mean anaesthesia induction time for all five techniques under study was less in resident Group S than resident Group J. The difference was found to be statistically significant with independent t-test. Although the difference was found to be significant, in terms of mean absolute time taken, the difference was not found significant in terms of operating theatre efficiency.Conclusion: There is definite difference for anaesthesia induction time between residents with more work experience than residents with less work experience. Training improved the anaesthesia induction time and quality of anaesthesia in senior trainees of anaesthesia.
