Impact of Communication Delays on Anesthesia Response to Medical Emergencies and Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia

In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Hypotheses The investigators hypothesize that a communication delay of 80 seconds compared to no delay will be associated with longer procedural times and decreased quality during brachial plexus block scanning. Secondly, the communication delay will be associated with more errors in treatment and a delay of essential treatments in a medical emergency. Background The near future will see crewed missions in deep space. As the number of people travelling to space increases, so will the chances of traumatic injury and other medical emergencies. Given many changes to body systems in microgravity and the scarcity of equipment and personnel in space, treating medical emergencies is already very difficult. Because most pain medications interfere with cognition, and general anesthesia would be very risky in these conditions, regional anesthesia ('nerve blocks') has been suggested as a less risk
