Correlation Between Thiopental Induction Dose and the Volume of Distribution of Caffeine in Human Subjects

Abstract: The correlation between the apparent volume of distribution (aVd) of caffeine and the induction dose of thiopental was studied in 23 patients. Caffeine, which has an effective partition coefficient that approaches that of thiopental, was used as an indicator substance to estimate the immediate volume of distribution of thiopental. The immediate volume of distribution is critical in determining thiopental induction dose. The aVd of caffeine was determined noninvasively from serial saliva samples after consumption of caffeine, which was given to the patients as coffee. A strong correlation (r = .69; P less than .01) was found between the aVd of caffeine and the anesthetic induction dose of thiopental when the loss of eyelid reflex was used as the end point. The correlation between thiopental induction dose and body weight for the same individuals (r = .188) was not statistically significant.

Setup and Execution of In Situ Simulation

Abstract: Simulation has emerged as an important modality for medical education and training. In recent years, it has become more commonplace throughout the healthcare system. This process improves knowledge, competency, and communication among providers, leading to improved patient care. Traditionally, simulations occur in a simulation center, whereas in situ simulation offers healthcare professionals a unique learning opportunity within the confines of their actual work environment. In this, simulation becomes physically integrated into the clinical or work environment. Simulation can replicate various aspects of real clinical practice. Many facilities do not have space or finances to support a traditional simulation center. In these circumstances, in situ simulation is physically integrated into the clinical or work environment. It offers a unique opportunity to practice critical, non-technical skills, particularly teamwork. This preparation is particularly crucial for critical clinical areas such as emergency departments, operating rooms, and intensive care units where participants can find themselves exposed to high-risk patient encounters. It also assesses workplace attitude and effectiveness when testing a facility or a system.

An asthmatic adolescent with hematuria and hemoptysis.

Abstract: When alveolar hemorrhage occurs in association with glomerulonephritis, one of the leading causes is Goodpasture syndrome. We report a case of an adolescent who presented to the emergency department in respiratory distress. Subsequent evaluation was consistent with the diagnosis of Goodpasture syndrome.
