California’s Stabilizing of Reproductive Autonomy Amid Major Policy Shifts: Punctuated Equilibrium Theory in Action
Get PDFThis paper analyzes CA\u27s Prop 1 within the theoretical framework of the Punctuated Equilibrium Theory (PET). The analysis offered a deeper understanding of the developmental dynamics surrounding Prop 1 and CA\u27s efforts to maintain policy stability. Additionally, the analysis sheds light on the central role played by CA in protecting abortion rights in response to the ever-changing and disruptive terrain of abortion policy within the US.https://dune.une.edu/ph_ile/1002/thumbnail.jp

Ketorolac: To Bleed Or Not To Bleed? That Is The Question
Get PDFKetorolac is a readily available, inexpensive, moderate to severe pain management adjunct. As opioids lost favor, ketorolac gained popularity, as an opioid-sparing alternative (Corsini et al., 2021). Anecdotally, surgeons have been resistant to intra-operative intravenous ketorolac due to perceived bleeding risks. As such, this review seeks to evaluate the literature to determine whether ketorolac administration is associated with clinically significant bleeding in adult breast surgery patients. The results demonstrated conflicting evidence for ketorolac use. No literature has established a causal relationship between ketorolac and clinically significant bleeding. Future research avenues include geriatric, pediatric, labor and delivery, dosing, and randomized control trials
Effectiveness Of Ondansetron Prior To Spinal Anesthesia In Obese Parturients Undergoing Caesarean Delivery
Get PDFSpinal anesthesia is the preferred route of anesthesia for parturients undergoing casesarean section (Hawkins et al., 2011). Parturients with obesity undergo caesarean delivery and have higher rates of initial intrathecal failure comparatively to non-obese (Hood, et al, 2015). Obesity is on the rise leading to a reconsideration as to the dosing of spinal anesthetic type (Dennis, 2017). Historically, the utilization of ondansetron, as a selective 5-HT3 antagonist, has been utilized prior to spinal administration to prevent the sympathectomy that can occur (Sahoo et al., 2012). This has decreased the utilization of vasopressors which can be detrimental to the fetus during cesarean (Kinsella et al., 2017).
A literature search was performed using major databases. 30 articles experimental studies, randomized control trials (RCT) and systematic reviews of RCTs with or without meta-analysis published within the last ten years were selected for initial review. 17 articles were identified as related to obesity and pregnancy undergoing spinal anesthesia for cesarean section.
Ondansetron’s utilization as an effective attenuator of a subarachnoid block sympathectomy has been accepted through various studies. However, through the literature review, a gap in obesity with dosing of prophylactic 5-HT3 antagonists and intrathecal local anesthetics, as well as, objective non-invasive data collecting to facilitate spinal anesthetic hypotension from occurring
Effects Of Intravenous Lidocaine Infusions On Postoperative Opioid Consumption In Adults Undergoing Laparoscopic Abdominal Surgery
Get PDFLidocaine is a local anesthetic that is often administered to surgical patients undergoing anesthesia. While it was originally utilized as an intravenous antiarrhythmic or for local infiltration, it is now frequently used for the proven opioid-sparing and anti-inflammatory effects during surgeries (Beaussier et al., 2018). A common complaint of postoperative patients is pain, and the administration of intravenous lidocaine can potentially decrease patients\u27 perception of pain after surgical procedures (Lee & Schraag, 2022).
Opioids are commonly administered to patients to help control their pain immediately after surgical procedures. Though opioids are the typically chosen treatment for acute surgical pain, they can have significant side effects. As stated by Wei et al. (2019), opioid administration can lead to reduced gastric motility, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and increased length of hospital stay. These adverse effects can be minimized by using intravenous lidocaine as a part of multimodal anesthesia for pain management by decreasing opioid consumption. This study examines the effects of intravenous lidocaine on postoperative opioid use in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Overall, intravenous lidocaine is proven to reduce postoperative pain scores and decrease perioperative opioid use
