Outline • What • When • Which • Where • How to • Example Evidence-based medicine Phuket 17/07/2008
What evidence-based medicine is ? “Evidence-based medicine is the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values” Sackett, et al 2001 Phuket 17/07/2008
Peri-operative anesthesia care • Preanesthetic evaluation • Preanesthetic preparation • Anesthetic management Choice of Anesthesia Monitoring during anesthesia Prevention & management of anesthetic-related complication • Postanesthesia care • Postoperative pain management Phuket 17/07/2008
Best evidence • Research, Practice guideline • Type of research eg. Systematic review, RCT, etc. • Source eg. Journal, Organization • Critical appraisal • Internal validity : Appropriate methodology Minimal bias • Result : Magnitude, Precision Clinical VS Statistical significance • External validity : Generalizability , Applicability Phuket 17/07/2008

Authors’ conclusion • In terms of major maternal & neonatal outcomes : Not enough evidence to show that either RA or GA is superior to each other • In low to intermediate income countries, the least expensive method should be chosen Phuket 17/07/2008

Choice of regional anesthesia Phuket 17/07/2008
Spinal VS Epidural anesthesia for C/S • No difference in terms of • Failure rate, Need for intraoperative analgesia • Need for conversion to GA, Maternal satisfaction • Need for neonatal intervention • Spinal anesthesia • Reduce time from start anesth to start operation weighted mean difference 7.91 minute (95%CI – 11.59, -4.3) • Increase need for treatment of hypotension RR 1.23 (95%CI 1.00-1.51) Phuket 17/07/2008
Ambulatory anesthesia • Rapid recovery • Less nausea & vomiting • Good postoperative pain Regional VS General anesthesia
Ambulatory anesthesia Anesthesia Analgesia 2005; 101(6): 1634-42
Outcome of interest • Induction time • Incidence of nausea & vomiting • Postop pain : VAS, rescue analgesics • Ability to bypass PACU • Time in PACU, Time until discharge • Patient satisfaction
Finding • RA • Need more induction time ~ 8.1 minute • Less postop pain • PONV : PNB less but not with CNB • More ability to bypass PACU • Time for ambulatory unit stay : not reduce • CNB associate with delay discharge time ~ 35 minute
Implication for practice • RA : Advantage but need more time Busy ambulatory unit : ??? • GA : Techniques, anesthetic drugs, Prevention of PONV , severe P/O pain Cost effective, Policy, Patient value
Decision making • Efficacy & safety • Evidence based medicine • (Best) Evidence , Expertise, Patient value • Clinical circumstance • Policy • Etc.
