Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on creating a competency-based model for training anesthesiology residents in Iran, emphasizing the need for graduates to work independently.
- Researchers developed a national framework of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) tailored to anesthesiology, consisting of 14 specific topics based on expert consensus and national standards.
- The findings highlight the importance of customizing the implementation of these activities for each country while aiming to enhance the training quality of future physicians.
Objectives: In this study, we aimed to compare the effects of bupivacaine alone and in combination with dexmedetomidine on postoperative analgesia, neonatal Apgar score, and bispectral index (BIS), which has been shown to correlate with increased sedation and loss of consciousness in women undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
Methods: A total of 152 term parturient women scheduled to have elective cesarean section with American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status I or II were allocated randomly into two groups to receive either bupivacaine plus placebo (BV group) or bupivacaine plus dexmedetomidine (BVD group). BIS, sedation scale scores, Apgar scores, and hemodynamic characteristics were recorded and statistically compared between the groups.
