Abstract

Objective: Local anesthetics (LAs) are starting to be used after the discovery of cocaine, which is used in medical practice. Now LAs are used many procedures in many clinics, especially in emergency departments (EDs). The extensive use of LAs was brought side effects and toxicity. Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) have been reported from simple allergic conditions to cardiovascular and neurological complications that can be fatal. The study aims to evaluate the level of knowledge and awareness of LAST among emergency medicine residents (EMRs).

Method: This was a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study. The questionnaires were sent to EMRs via e-mail, and responses were collected. The participants who gave informed consent included in the study, and who didn’t use LAs in their daily practice were excluded. All of the participants responded all of the questions and responses were analyzed.
Results: 92 EMRs were included in the study. The median age of the participants was 29 (24-50) years, and 48.9% were women. In the research, no one could recognize all LAST symptoms, ranging from mild to severe. Only 16.3% of the participants answered all treatment options of the LAST correctly, and 27.2% knew the ILE dosage accurately.

Conclusion: The level of knowledge and awareness of the EMRs were insufficient. EMRs training rates on LAs and LAST were found to be low. In addition, it was stated that the patient's informed consent was not appropriately obtained from the vast majority of patients undergoing LA procedure. As the first study on LAST among EMRs, we believe that necessary arrangements should be made regarding the detected deficiencies.

Acil Tıp Asistanlarının Lokal Anestetik Sistemik Toksisitesine İlişkin Bilgi Düzeyleri: Kesitsel Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Lokal anestetikler (LA) kokainin keşfiyle birlikte, özellikle acil servisler olmak üzere birçok klinik tarafından, birçok prosedürde kullanılmaktadır. LA’ in yaygın kullanımı, beraberinde yan etki ve toksisite vakalarını da getirmiştir. Lokal anestetik sistemik toksisitesi (LAST) basit alerjik durumlardan ölümcül olabilecek kardiyak ve nörolojik komplikasyonlara kadar geniş bir yelpazede bildirilmiştir. Literatürde acil tıp asistanları (ATA)’ nın LAST konusunda bilgi ve farkındalıklarını ortaya koyan çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada ATA’ nın LAST bilgi ve farkındalık düzeylerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Metod: Bu çalışma anket tabanlı kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Anket formları e-mail yoluyla ATA’ na gönderildi ve cevapları kayıt edildi. Aydınlatılmış onam veren ATA çalışmaya dahil edildi ve günlük pratiğinde LA kullanmayan ATA çalışmadan dışlandı. Tüm katılımcılar, bütün sorulara yanıt verdiler ve yanıtların analizleri yapıldı.
Bulgular: 92 ATA çalışmaya katıldı. Katılımcıların yaş ortancası 29 (24-50) ve %48,9 u kadındı. Çalışmamızda, hafiften ağıra doğru sıralanmış LAST semptomlarının tamamına ATA’ nın hiçbiri doğru yanıt veremedi. Katılımcıların sadece %16,3 ü tüm LAST tedavi seçeneklerini ve %27,2 si intravenöz lipid emülsiyonu dozunu doğru olarak cevapladılar.
Sonuç: ATA’ nın LAST konusunda bilgi ve farkındalık düzeyleri yetersizdir. LA ve LAST konusunda ATA’ nın eğitimleri düşüktür. Ayrıca, LA kullanılan prosedürlerin çoğunda uygun aydınlatılmış onam alınmamaktadır. ATA arasında yapılan ilk çalışma olması nedeniyle, tespit edilen eksikliklere yönelik gerekli düzenlemelerin yapılacağına inanıyoruz.
