ABSTRACT BACKGROUND The technique of “coinduction”, i.e. use of a small dose of sedative agent or another anaesthetic agent reduces the dose requirement as well as adverse effects of the main inducing agent. Ketamine, midazolam and propofol have been used as coinduction agents with propofol. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective, randomised clinical study compared to three methods of coinduction. One group received ketamine, one group received midazolam and one group received propofol as coinducing agent with propofol. RESULTS The study showed that the group receiving ketamine as coinduction agent required least amount of propofol for induction and was also associated with lesser side effects. CONCLUSION Use of ketamine as coinduction agent leads to maximum reduction of induction dose of propofol and also lesser side effects as compared to propofol and midazolam. KEYWORDS Coinduction, Propofol, Midazolam, Ketamine. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Kalita A, Ahmed ALM.

    The Critical Care Anesthesiology Milestone Project A Joint Initiative of The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education The American Board of Anesthesiology January 2016 The Critical Care Anesthesiology Milestone Project The Milestones are designed only for use in evaluation of the fellow in the context of their participation in ACGME-accredited residency or fellowship programs. The Milestones provide a framework for assessment of the development of the fellow in key dimensions of the elements of physician competency in a specialty or subspecialty. They neither represent the entirety of the dimensions of the six domains of physician competency, nor are they designed to be relevant in any other context. i Critical Care Anesthesiology Milestones Chair: Neal Cohen, MD, MPH, MS Working Group Advisory Group Carlee Clark, MD Louis Ling, MD Laura Edgar, EdD, CAE Meghan Lane-Fall, MD Brenda Fahy, MD, MCCM Margaret Wood, MD, FRCA, EM Anne Gravel Sullivan, PhD Andrew Patterson, MD, PhD Robert Sladen, MD ii Milestone Reporting This document presents Milestones designed for programs to use in semi-annual review of fellow performance and reporting to the ACGME. Milestones are knowledge, skills, attitudes, and other attributes for each of the ACGME competencies organized in a developmental framework from less to more advanced. They are descriptors and targets for fellow performance as a fellow moves from entry into fellowship through graduation. In the initial years of implementation, the Review Committee will examine Milestone performance data for each program’s fellows as one element in the Next Accreditation System (NAS) to determine whether fellows overall are progressing. For each period, review and reporting will involve selecting milestone levels that best describe a fellow’s current performance and attributes.

  • ACCM Requirements for Training Programs
    Curricula, Duration, and Program Standards for Training Programs ACGME-accredited ACCM training programs are one year in length. Some programs are two-year programs, but the additional year is not ACGME accredited. Institutions that have an ACGME-accredited ACCM training program must also have ACGME-accredited core residencies in anesthesiology, general surgery, and internal medicine. The program guidelines require that nine months of a 12-month ACCM fellowship be in an ICU providing direct care to critically ill patients. The remainder of the fellowship may be in clinical activities or research relevant to critical care medicine. The educational goals for emergency physicians entering ACCM fellowships are to assure competency in all realms of critical care medicine including the care of trauma and surgically-related conditions. The length of training for emergency physicians in ACCM is a minimum of two years. This is different than that of an anesthesiologist (one year). Given the frequency of trauma and surgical conditions that are encountered in the ACCM fellowship, an early and substantial knowledge regarding surgical disease is required. There is a desire for this to occur in a manner similar to (but not necessarily identical to) the approach by the ABS and RRC-Surgery. Prior to entry into an SCC fellowship, the Emergency Medicine physician must complete a modified advanced preliminary year of training. The intention is for the physician to be in an intermediate-to-advanced role as a trainee (e.g., a non-operating 3rd, 4th- or 5th-year surgery resident). This is expressed in the following ACGME requirement: III.A.1.a) Fellows who have completed an emergency medicine residency must also complete one preparatory year as an advanced preliminary resident in surgery at the institution where they will enroll in the surgical critical care medicine fellowship.

(Pete) Stark Chairman, Subcommittee on Health Committee on Ways and Means House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: This briefing report is in response to your December 4, 1986, request for information about the current Medicare payment mechanism for radiologists, anesthesiologists, and pathologists (RAPS) and the market structure for services provided by these physicians. The Subcommittee was also interested in whether the financial interests of the Medicare program and the Medicare beneficiary were considered when contracts were negotiated between hospitals and RAPS. To develop this information, we analyzed the contractual arrangements at 16 hospitals in four geographic areas (Maine, Rhode Island, Queens County, New York, and Dade County, Florida). At each location, we interviewed physicians specializing in radiology, anesthesiology, and pathology, and reviewed pertinent literature to compare net income levels of various physician specialties. We also analyzed Medicare payment tapes for 1985 comparing the amounts billed and allowed for RAP services and the variances in payment rates across the four geographic areas we reviewed. Specifically, our report shows that: -- The 16 hospitals we visited generally had open staffing policies: that is, any physician providing RAP services could apply for medical staff privileges on the same basis as any other physician.
