Neuraxial Morphine Anesthesia Given During Cesarean Delivery and Risk of Urinary Retention: A Retrospective Study.

Background: Cesarean deliveries (CD) are commonly performed using neuraxial anesthesia. The use of neuraxial morphine has proven beneficial in terms of postoperative pain management; however, its effect on postoperative urine retention remains unclear.

Objectives: To determine whether morphine injection into the neuraxis during CD influences postoperative urinary retention rate.

A plea for standardisation in the duration of training in anaesthesiology and intensive care medicine across Europe: A survey of representatives of the European National Anaesthesia Societies Committee.

Background: Anaesthesiologists and intensive care doctors have become progressively more mobile across Europe. The standardisation of training systems has been recommended by the European Union of Medical Specialist (UEMS) to facilitate the mutual recognition of professionals.

Objective: We aimed to assess the level of compliance with the 2018 European training requirements (ETR) for the specialty of anaesthesiology, pain and intensive care medicine.

European Section/Board of Anaesthesiology/European Society of Anaesthesiology consensus statement on competency-based education and training in anaesthesiology.

: The change from time-based to competency-based medical education has been driven by society's requirement for greater accountability of medical practitioners and those who train them. The European Society of Anaesthesiology and European Section/Board of Anaesthesiology (Anaesthesiology Section of the European Union Medical Specialists) endorse the general principles of competency-based medical education and training (CBMET) outlined by the international competency-based medical education collaborators. A CBMET curriculum is built on unambiguously defined learning objectives, each of which offers a measurable outcome, amenable to assessment using valid and reliable tools.

WHO Needs High FIO?

and the have recently recommended the use of 0.8 FIO in all adult surgical patients undergoing general anaesthesia, to prevent surgical site infections. This recommendation has arisen several discussions: As a matter of fact, there are numerous studies with different results about the effect of FIO on surgical site infection.

Quality and safety guidelines of postanaesthesia care: Working Party on Post Anaesthesia Care (approved by the European Board and Section of Anaesthesiology, Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes).

Postanaesthesia care units are standard parts of hospital care in most European Union countries. Their main purpose is to identify and immediately treat early complications of surgery or anaesthesia, before they develop into deleterious problems. This review, prepared by the Working Party on Post Anaesthesia Care of the European Board of Anaesthesiology.

Airway management by physicians wearing anti-chemical warfare gear: comparison between laryngeal mask airway and endotracheal intubation.

Background And Objective: To evaluate the ease with which successful insertion of a laryngeal mask airway can be performed in comparison with endotracheal intubation by medical personnel wearing chemical protective equipment.

Methods: Anaesthetists and non-anaesthetists (each n = 20) participated in the prospective comparative trial in an animal laboratory. The time and success rates of laryngeal mask airway vs.
