Abstract

Abstract Background and objectives: The memory of emergence from anesthesia is recognized as one type of anesthesia awareness. Apart from planed awake extubation, unintentional recall of tracheal extubation is thought to be the results of inadequate anesthesia management; therefore, the incidence can be related with the experience of anesthetists. To assess whether the incidence of recall of tracheal extubation is related to anesthetists' experience, we compared the incidence of recall of tracheal extubation between patients managed by anesthesia residents or by experienced anesthetists. Methods: This is a retrospective review of an institutional registry containing 21,606 general anesthesia cases and was conducted with the board of ethical review approval. All resident tracheal extubations were performed under anesthetists' supervision. To avoid channeling bias, propensity score analysis was used to generate a set of matched cases (resident managements) and controls (anesthetist managements), yielding 3,475 matched patient pairs. The incidence of recall of tracheal extubation was compared as primary outcomes. Results: In the unmatched population, there was no difference in the incidences of recall of tracheal extubation between resident management and anesthetist management (6.5% vs. 7.1%, p = 0.275). After propensity score matching, there was still no difference in incidences of recall of tracheal extubation (7.1% vs. 7.0%, p = 0.853). Conclusion: In conclusion, when supervised by an anesthetist, resident extubations are no more likely to result in recall than anesthetist extubations.

Resumo

Resumo Justificativa e objetivos: A recordação da emergência da anestesia é reconhecida como um dos tipos de memória da anestesia. Excluindo a extubação planejada com o paciente acordado, acredita-se que a memória não intencional durante a extubação traqueal seja o resultado de manejo inadequado da anestesia; portanto, a incidência pode estar relacionada com a experiência dos anestesistas. Para avaliar se a incidência de memória durante a extubação traqueal está relacionada com a experiência dos anestesistas, comparamos a incidência de memória durante a extubação traqueal entre pacientes tratados por residentes de anestesia ou por anestesistas experientes. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo de revisão de um registo institucional com 21.606 casos de anestesia geral, conduzido com a aprovação do Comitê de Ética. Todas as extubações traqueais foram feitas por residentes sob a supervisão de anestesistas. Para evitar o viés de canalização, a análise do índice de propensão foi usada para gerar um grupo de casos pareados (manejo por residentes) e de controles (manejo por anestesistas), obtiveram-se 3.475 pares combinados de pacientes. A incidência de memória durante a extubação traqueal foi comparada com os desfechos primários. Resultados: Na população não pareada, não houve diferença na incidência de memória durante a extubação traqueal entre o manejo feito por residentes e anestesistas (6,5% vs. 7,1%, p = 0,275). Mesmo após parear os escores de propensão, não observamos diferença na incidência de memória durante a extubação traqueal (7,1% vs. 7,0%, p = 0,853). Conclusão: Em conclusão, quando supervisionadas por um anestesista, as extubações feitas por residentes não são mais propensas a resultar em memória do que as extubações feitas por anestesistas.
