Article Synopsis
- Crewed deep space missions require careful planning for astronaut health emergencies, particularly concerning the administration of anaesthesia, which faces unique challenges in microgravity.
- A study tested the feasibility of regional anaesthesia using a bovine muscle model in both normal and simulated microgravity environments, measuring factors like time to block and success rates.
- Results showed no significant differences in success rates or ease of the procedure between conditions, suggesting that regional anaesthesia could be safely administered in space despite ergonomic difficulties.
Introduction: The utility of using meat models for ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia simulation training has been well established. Feedback is considered the most important element of successful simulation-based education, and simulation offers an opportunity for evaluation. The objective of this study was to establish the discriminative ability of dye injected into a meat model to determine whether injectate is properly placed in the perineural (PN) space, thus providing an additional tool for learner feedback and evaluation.
