AANA and APRN Coalition Partners Urge Medicare Agency to Remove Supervision
In response to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) request for additional feedback regarding elimination of specific Medicare regulations that require more stringent supervision than existing state scope of practice laws, or that limit health professionals from practicing at the top of their license, the AANA and APRN organizations urged the removal of costly and unnecessary physician supervision requirements for APRNs.
The coalition letter signed by 11 APRN organizations and the AANA stated, "We recommend that CMS eliminate unnecessary requirements for physician supervision of APRNs as described below. Given the growing population of persons in the United States requiring healthcare, particularly among Medicare-eligible populations, physician supervision requirements stand in the way of deploying the vast APRN workforce. Unnecessary requirements for physician supervision, such as facility Conditions of Participation that require physician supervision of CRNA anesthesia services...contribute to duplication and waste in the healthcare delivery system. There is no evidence that supervision requirements contribute to higher quality, lower cost, greater value, or access to healthcare. APRNs must hold their own license in each state; therefore, their practice is regulated and does not require additional supervision. On the contrary, ample evidence points to the value provided by APRNs."

NewsMaker: CRNA Jana Bailey Works to Protect Patients from Addiction
According to Wave3 News (Louisville, Ky.), Jana Bailey, CRNA, APRN, is the founder of the Opioid Stewardship Initiative. Its goal is "to educate, show alternatives and give people a mixture called Dispose Rx that lets them dissolve their prescription drugs immediately after they are no longer needed. Combined with water, Dispose Rx turns harmful drugs into a gooey substance that you won't and can't use. The initiative also works to prevent overuse of opioids and keep them away from vulnerable people, allowing nurses and doctors to make an impact outside the operating room." Learn more.

1-1-8 One-Step Sevoflurane Wash-In Scheme for Low-Flow Anesthesia: Simple, Rapid, and Predictable Induction
To improve on shortfalls in existing sevoflurane wash-in schemes for low-flow anesthesia (LFA), researchers developed a 1-1-8 design that can be used with N2O or Air. The team, working out of Khon Kaen University in Thailand, set out to identify the time needed with both to reach each level of alveolar concentration of sevoflurane (FAS) between 1 and 3.5 percent. They assembled a study population of 199 adults requiring general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and controlled ventilation. The one-step wash-in phase was initiated after induction and intubation, using fresh gas flow of O2:N2O plus sevoflurane for 102 patients and O2:Air plus sevoflurane for 97. Rising patterns of FAS and inspired concentration of sevoflurane (FIS) were comparable between the two interventions, with similar time needed to achieve an FAS of 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, and 5 percent. Patients in both groups also experienced an early acceleration in heart rate and blood pressure, which subsided as FAS increased. The experiment showcased many benefits of the 1-1-8 wash-in scheme for sevoflurane LFA, including simplicity, target coverage, speed, safety, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility to use N2O or Air.

New Study Sheds Light on PCA Pump Documentation Inaccuracy
Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pumps are often used after surgery, in ICU, and in other settings to alleviate pain and manage consumption of narcotic medications, but new findings suggest potential harms. Researchers at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center (UCIMC) conducted a retrospective review of PCA documentation entered into patient electronic medical records (EMRs) during January and February 2019. One or more documentation error was found in 87 percent of the cases. The next leg of the study involved an analysis of 19 PCA pumps, with investigators comparing real-time data from the pump computer with the information contained in the EMR. They found that patients received nearly 21 percent more opioid medication than what their records indicated. The pattern on consistent errors, missing information, and erroneously listed pump dosages could have significant implications, warns Ryan Nguyen, a fourth-year UCIMC medical student who worked on the study. "Doctors write out prescriptions based on the EMR," he explains. "Without accurate documentation, the patient may head home with a prescription that compromises effective pain management. The patient won't have optimal pain control." The research underscores the need to arm nurses with tools to automate I.V. communication, including the PCA pump, Nguyen and his co-authors conclude.

Advantages of the Combination of Conscious Sedation Epidural Anesthesia Under Fluoroscopy Guidance in Lumbar Spine Surgery
Spinal surgery is becoming more common as people live longer, but having the procedure under general anesthesia can be dangerous for older patients and those with comorbidities. Researchers in Korea hypothesized that fluoroscopy-guided epidural anesthesia plus conscious sedation might be a safer approach for at-risk populations. To investigate, they retrospectively reviewed medical records for 111 patients who underwent this protocol for lumbar surgery from February to September 2018. The technique proved to be both effective and safe, with all patients registering decreases in postoperative pain regardless of their American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical class or their age. Patients aged 70 and older did, however, take longer to recover postoperatively than their younger counterparts. Recovery time also was prolonged in patients who received greater volumes of epidural anesthesia, which were associated with a higher rate of epidural spread.

Impact of Timing of Pre-Procedural Opioids on Adverse Events in Procedural Sedation
Researchers wondered if the timing of opioid administration before painful procedures influences the rate of unfavorable sedation outcomes in children. To learn more, members of the Sedation Safety Study Group of Pediatric Emergency Research Canada performed a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort of 6,295 emergency department patients aged 18 years and younger. About 1,800 of the youngsters received pre-procedural opioids; and they were more likely to experience oxygen desaturation, vomiting, and positive pressure ventilation (PPV)—although the effect was not statistically significant with PPV. The risk for these adverse effects was greatest, according to the findings, for patients who took the opioids in the 30 minutes preceding sedation. Understanding this elevated risk can help clinicians prepare for sedation and the prospect of patient rescue, the study authors conclude.

Development of a Risk Score to Predict Postoperative Delirium in Patients with Hip Fracture
A new risk score has demonstrated accuracy in identifying older adults who are more likely to experience post–hip fracture surgery delirium (PHFD). The nine-item screening tool is based on analysis of data from 8,871 patients aged 60 years or older, 30 percent of whom were assigned to a cohort formed for validation purposes. The other 70 percent made up the cohort that informed the risk score, and PHFD occurred in 1,816 of those 6,210 patients. Researchers applied stepwise multivariable logistic regression to single out the perioperative factors that predict PHFD: preoperative delirium, preoperative dementia, age, medical co-management, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status III–V, functional dependence, smoking, systemic inflammatory response syndrome/sepsis/septic shock, and preoperative use of mobility aid. The predictive accuracy of the risk score, with a scope of 0 to 20 points, was upheld in the validation cohort.

Anesthetic Management of Pediatric Patients Diagnosed with X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy
Researchers at the University of Minnesota examined the risk associated with anesthesia in children who have X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, a demyelinating disease that typically affects males. They conducted a retrospective chart review of 38 diagnosed patients at the affiliated Masonic Children's Hospital who were exposed to anesthesia a collective 166 times between January 2014 and December 2016. Most of the encounters took place in the sedation unit and involved total intravenous anesthetic with spontaneous ventilation via natural airway. A number of anesthetic agents—including propofol, isoflurane, sevoflurane, ketamine, midazolam, and dexmedetomidine—were used effectively. There were few perioperative complications documented, and those that were noted were low in severity. Meanwhile, no anesthesia-related deaths were reported. The findings of the review indicate that children with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy can tolerate procedures under anesthesia with little risk while under the care of skilled pediatric anesthesia providers.
