Occupational Hazards: Considerations for the Pregnant Anesthesia Provider. 2023. https://marian.hykucommons.org/concern/generic_works/bb1074d8-3a08-4aee-aef8-fd4cf78077a6?q=2019-08-20%2013:30.Note: These citations are programmatically generated and may be incomplete.
Background: Anesthesia providers are subjected to chemical, biological, physical, ergonomic, and psychosocial risk factors that threaten the individual's health. While pregnancy alone is not considered an independent risk factor for healthcare-associated occupational hazards, the fetus is rapidly developing and thus carries a much lower threshold to hazardous exposure than the adult.
Purpose: To evaluate participants’ confidence levels related to their knowledge of environmental considerations for the pregnant anesthetist before and after implementing a self-paced online course presenting the findings from a review of the literature.
Methods: Voluntary participants from a Midwest DNP nurse anesthesia program were invited to partake in a self-paced online course which included a pre- and post-assessment to evaluate confidence level related to the subject matter and its application into practice. Conclusion: Confidence levels in the participants' knowledge of the environmental risks for anesthesia personnel and pregnant anesthesia providers increased by 36.4% following implementation of literature review findings summarized into self-paced online course.
