Assessing CRNA Knowledge of Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity Treatment
Copyright © by the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists..
Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) is a rare life-threatening adverse event. Due to the potential for devastating patient outcomes, it is crucial for anesthesia providers to understand appropriate LAST management. The primary aim of this study was to assess certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) knowledge of the 2020 American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA) LAST treatment guidelines. The secondary aim was to determine whether there was a relationship between the frequency of CRNAs' exposure to perioperative local anesthetic use and their knowledge level. A quantitative descriptive study and national American Association of Nurse Anesthetists electronic survey solicited practicing CRNAs. Survey findings revealed knowledge scores averaging 47.3% among 184 respondents. Almost all (97.8%) recognized the importance of early lipid emulsion administration. Over half (54.3%) were unaware of the recommended epinephrine dosing during LAST. No relationship was found between knowledge level and CRNAs' exposure to local anesthetics. Those who reported having immediate access to written or electronic guidelines in the event of LAST had significantly higher knowledge scores than those without access (P = .049). Implementing cognitive aids may help bridge knowledge gaps identified in this study and ensure critical steps are not missed. Further studies examining the use of cognitive aids to improve CRNA knowledge of LAST management may be beneficial in the future.
