- Prevention of drug diversion and substance use disorders among anesthesiologists: a narrative review(2023) FITZSIMONS, Michael G.; SOUSA, Gabriel Soares de; GALSTYAN, Arpine; QUINTAO, Vinicius Caldeira; SIMOES, Claudia MarquezDiversion of substances from the care of the intended patient is a significant problem in healthcare. Patients are harmed by the undertreatment of pain and suffering, transmission of disease, as well as the risk associated with impaired vigilance. Healthcare providers may be harmed by the physical and mental impact of their addictions. Healthcare systems are placed in jeopardy by the legal impact associated with illegal routes of drug release including sanction and financial liability and loss of public trust. Healthcare institutions have implemented many measures to reduce diversion from the perioperative area. These efforts include education, medical record surveillance, automated medication dispensing systems, urine drug testing, substance waste management systems, and drug diversion prevention teams. This narrative review evaluates strengths, weaknesses, and effectiveness of these systems and provides recommendations for leaders and care providers. (c) 2023 Sociedade Brasileira de Anestesiologia.
- Drug abuse amongst anesthetists in Brazil: a national survey(2021) SOUSA, Gabriel Soares de; FITZSIMONS, Michael Gerald; MUELLER, Ariel; QUINTAO, Vinicius Caldeira; SIMOES, Claudia MarquezBackground: The prevalence of Substance Use Disorders (SUD) and acceptance of drug testing among anesthetists in Brazil has not been determined. Methods: An intemet-based survey was performed to investigate the prevalence of SUD among anesthetists in Brazil, to explore the attitudes of anesthetists regarding whether SUD jeopardizes the health of an impaired provider or their patient, and to determine the provider's perspective regarding acceptance and effectiveness of drug testing to reduce SUD. The questionnaire was distributed via social media. REDCap was utilized to capture data. A sample size of 350 to achieve a confidence level of 95% and confidence interval of 5 was estimated. Study report was based on STROBE and CHERRIES statements. Results: The survey was returned from 1,295 individuals. Most individuals knew an anesthesia provider with a SUD (82.07%), while 23% admitted personal use. The most common identified substances of abuse were opioids (67.05%). Very few respondents worked in a setting that performs drug testing (n = 17, 1.33%). Most individuals believed that drug testing could improve personal safety (82.83%) or the safety of patients (85.41%). Individuals with a personal history of SUD were less likely to believe in the effectiveness of drug testing to reduce one's own risk (74.92% vs. 85.18%, p < 0.0001) or improve the safety of patients (76.27% vs. 88.13%, p < 0.001). Conclusions: SUDs are common among anesthetists in Brazil. Drug testing would be accepted as a viable means to reduce the incidence although a larger study should be performed to investigate the logistical feasibility.

- Two years of the COVID-19 pandemic: an anesthesiology perspective(2022) SCHMIDT, André P.; MÓDOLO, Norma S.P.; DE AMORIM, Célio G.; SIMÕES, Cláudia M.; KRAYCHETE, Durval C.; JOAQUIM, Eduardo H.G.; LINEBURGER, Eric B.; PAPA, Fábio V.; FERNANDES, Fátima C.; MENDES, Florentino F.; GUIMARÃES, Gabriel M.N.; BARROS, Guilherme A.M.; SILVA-JR, João M.; LIMA, Laís H.

- Evaluation of a Pre-Filled Table and a Flowchart-Based Algorithm as Cognitive Aids to Reduce Deviations in Dose Calculation for Intraoperative Red Blood Cell Transfusions in Children-An International Web-Based Simulation(2023) PIEKARSKI, Florian; NOONE, Stephanie; ENGELHARDT, Thomas; HELLMICH, Martin; WITTENMEIER, Eva; QUINTAO, Vinicius; ARNOLD, Philip; GOOBIE, Susan M.; ZACHAROWSKI, Kai; KAUFMANN, JostBackground: Transfusion of red blood cell concentrate can be life-saving,but requires accurate dose calculations in children. Aims: We tested the hypothesis that cognitive aids would improve identification of the correct recommended volumes and products, according to the German National Transfusion guidelines, in pediatric transfusion scenarios. Methods: Four online questionnaire-based scenarios, two with hemodynamically stable and two with hemodynamically unstable children, were sent to German and international pediatric anesthetists for completion. In the two stable scenarios, participants were given pre-filled tables that contained all required information. For the two emergency scenarios, existing algorithms were used and required calculation by the user. The results were classified into three categories of deviations from the recommended values (DRV): DRV120(<80% or >120%), as the acceptable variation; DRV 300 (<33% or >300%), the deviation of concern for potential harm; and DRV 1000 (<10% or >1000%), the excessive deviation with a high probability of harm. Results: A total of 1.458 pediatric anesthetists accessed this simulation questionnaire, and 402completed questionnaires were available for analysis. A pre-filled tabular aid, avoiding calculations, led to a reduction in deviation rates in the category of DRV120 by 60% for each and of DRV300 by17% and 20%, respectively. The use of algorithms as aids for unstable emergencies led to a reduction in the deviation rate only for DRV120 (20% and 15% respectively). In contrast, the deviation rates for DRV300 and DRV1000 rose by 37% and 16%, respectively. Participants used higher transfusion thresholds for the emergency case of a 2-year-old compromised child than for the stable case with a patient of the same age (on average, 8.6 g/dL, 95% CI 8.5-8.8 versus 7.1 g/dL, 95% CI 7.0-7.2,p< 0.001) if not supported by our aids. Participants also used a higher transfusion threshold for unstable children aged 3 months than for stable children of the same age (on average, 8.9 g/dL,95% CI 8.7-9.0 versus 7.9 g/dL, 95% CI 7.7-8.0, p< 0.001). Conclusions: The use of cognitive aids with precalculated transfusion volumes for determining transfusion doses in children may lead to improved adherence to published recommendations,and could potentially reduce dosing deviations outside those recommended by the German national transfusion guidelines.
