Abstract:

Abstract Geoffrey Kaye, M.B.B.S. (1903 to 1986), was a prominent Australian anesthetist, researcher, and educator who envisioned that anesthesia practice in Australia would be comparable to European and American anesthesia practice during the 1940s and 1950s. Kaye’s close relationship with Francis Hoeffer McMechan, M.D., F.I.C.A. (1879 to 1939), which began when Kaye left a favorable impression on McMechan at a meeting of the Australasian Medical Congress in 1929, eventually led Kaye to establish an educational center for the Australian Society of Anaesthetists at 49 Mathoura Road, Toorak, Melbourne, Australia, in 1951. The center served as the “Scientific Headquarters” and the Australian Society of Anaesthetists’ official headquarters from 1951 to 1955. Although anesthesia’s recognition as a specialty was at the heart of the center, Kaye hoped that this “experiment in medical education”—equipped with a library, museum, laboratory, workshop, darkroom, and meeting space—would “bring anaesthetists of all lands together” in Australia. The lack of member participation in Kaye’s center, however, led Kaye to dissolve the center by 1955. Previous research has documented the history of Kaye’s center from correspondence between Kaye and influential American anesthesiologist Paul M. Wood, M.D. (1894 to 1953), from 1939 to 1955. Through letters Kaye sent to American anesthesiologist Paul M. Wood, M.D. (1894 to 1963), the authors see Kaye’s detailed plans, design, and intent for the center at 49 Mathoura Road. Comparisons of Kaye’s letters to Wood during the 1950s with his letters to Gwenifer Wilson, M.D., M.B.B.S. (1916 to 1988), during the 1980s illustrate a change in Kaye’s perceptions regarding the failure of the center.

Abstract:

A survey carried out by the Australian Society of Anaesthetists explored gender issues in the personal and professional lives of anaesthetists. Issues highlighted include training and career paths, combining anaesthetic training with domestic responsibilities, personal relationships, pregnancy and childrearing, private practice, part-time work, parental leave, the single anaesthetist, doctor spouses, sexual harassment, and negative attitudes in colleagues. Particular problems were identified in the training years, in part-time work, in private practice, and in combining parental and domestic responsibilities with a career in anaesthesia. Strategies to address relevant issues are discussed, with reference to the increasing proportion of women in medicine and anaesthesia.

Abstract:

We report an email questionnaire survey of Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) use amongst members of the Australian Society of Anaesthetists (ASA). PDAs are becoming increasingly popular and they have many applications within the healthcare community. Seventy-eight per cent of members of the ASA have an email address (1870/2385) although only 38% (900/2385) of members are regular uses of email. We surveyed 1870 members of the ASA and received 215 responses (11% response rate). We found that 91% of anaesthetists answering the survey used a PDA and of these 72% use a Palm operating system, which reflects current market trends. Anaesthetists use PDAs for a wide range of facilities: appointments, drug reference, contact details and “tasks to do” being the most utilized. The most common software programs added to the operating system were pharmacopoeias, contact managers and database programs.

Abstract:

All female members and a randomly selected group of male members of the Australian Society of Anaesthetists (n=488) were surveyed by questionnaire as part of a broader study of gender issues in anaesthesia. This paper reports on reasons for career choice and the importance of role models. Responses were received from 199 women and 98 men (60.9% of those surveyed), representing all States and one Territory. Most males (95.9%) and a majority of females (55.7%) worked full-time. Reasons for career choice varied with gender, with a significantly greater proportion of women (39.7%) than men (8.7%) choosing anaesthesia because of controllable hours, particularly the ability to work part-time. Experiences in anaesthesia during internship and residency were important for 19.1% of women and 14.1% of men, although very few mentioned undergraduate exposure. Other important factors in career choice were the application of physiology and pharmacology in patient care, practical and procedural aspects of practice, and chance. A majority of women (56%) and men (55%) named specific role models who were influential and encouraging in their choice. These results are similar to those of other studies.

Abstract:

Geoffrey Kaye was primarily an anaesthetist, but there were many facets to his life, not all of them involving medicine. He was also a researcher, author, teacher, engineer, inventor, metalworker, organiser, traveller, visionary and collector. Geoffrey Kaye had a vision for Australian anaesthesia. He put many of his own resources into the establishment of a ‘centre of excellence’ where the needs of a specialist society could be accompanied by an active educational and research facility. He was so far ahead of his time that his vision foundered on lack of enthusiasm from others. There is no doubt that Geoffrey is best remembered for his lasting legacy, the Geoffrey Kaye Museum of Anaesthetic History, now housed at the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists in Melbourne. It is his core collection of equipment, documents and memorabilia that now gives us insight into the development of our specialty. His collecting extended beyond his love of medicine. He was renowned for his collection and knowledge of exquisite tableware, porcelain, and furniture, much of which now remains in the Ian Potter Museum collection, also in Melbourne.

Abstract:

Anaesthesia simulation has been suggested as a method to enhance the training of clinicians without exposing patient to risk. Recently, two anaesthesia simulators have become commercially available in the U.S.A. Attitudes towards anaesthesia simulators have not been previously surveyed. With institutional approval, a survey questionnaire was given to 1. all clinical staff of the Department of Anesthesiology, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center; and 2. all anaesthetists attending the Annual General Meeting of the Australian Society of Anaesthetists. An information sheet containing details about anaesthesia simulation in general and the special capabilities of a particular commercial anaesthesia simulator was included with the survey instrument. The survey was anonymous and contained 15 questions. Attitudinal responses were recorded using an anchored visual analog 100 mm scale. We surveyed anaesthetists during September-October 1993. Completed forms were returned by 183 anaesthetists. Respondents were aged 25–67 years (mean age 41±10 yr) and were grouped by staff position (78% faculty, 22% trainees), sex (79% male, 21% female), country of practice (44% Aust, 56% U.S.A.) and years in practice. Seventy-three per cent staff were in favour (VAS>60) of departmental purchase of a simulator (with no significant difference between countries) and 76% expressed willingness (VAS>60) to undergo testing in their own time (with Australian anaesthetists significantly more willing to do so). However, 65% were not in favour (VAS <40) of the compulsory use of a simulator for re-certification or re-accreditation of anaesthesia practitioners, with American anaesthetists (anesthesiologists) significantly more opposed to it. The most frequent comment related to the cost. There is majority support for the purchase of an anaesthesia simulator but there is widespread concern for its high cost. In general, anaesthesia simulation is perceived more as an education tool rather than an instrument for (re)certification.

Abstract:

This World War 1 ether/chloroform vaporiser-inhaler was designed by and made for Captain Anstruther John Corfe by Private Eric Aspinall McMurdie, both of the 2nd Australian Casualty Clearing Station (ACCS), Australian Army Medical Corps (AAMC). It has a plaque attached labelled 25 May 1918. It is a perfect example of the ingenuity forced by the realities of war, and is one of the unique pieces in the Harry Daly Museum at the Australian Society of Anaesthetists (ASA) headquarters in Sydney, Australia. While serving in Blendecques, France, Private McMurdie ingeniously fashioned this vaporiser from discarded items he found on the battlefield. These included Horlick's Malted Milk bottles, on which he etched measurements for ether and chloroform, and a spent brass artillery shell, which made the heating component of the inhaler. The 2nd ACCS triaged and operated on thousands of troops, and this inhaler is a reflection of the skills and innovative expertise of the staff of the 2nd ACCS which included X-rays to localise foreign bodies, and locally made splints and apparatus to treat trench foot.

Abstract:

As a young anaesthetic trainee in 1959 Ross Holland persuaded the Minister of Health in NSW, Australia, to establish SCIDUA, which by law required compulsory reporting for all deaths occurring during anaesthesia or up to 24 hours after cessation of the anaesthetic. The committee was multidisciplinary and, most importantly, had statutory privilege so that no discussions or findings were able to be subpoenaed for other legal investigations or case law. Holland was the foundation secretary of SCIDUA and later Chair. Apart from three years in the 1980s when there were political issues with legal privilege, the committee has met monthly and still meets. Holland was a major figure in antipodean anaesthesia, setting up in 1978 the clinical department at Westmead Hospital Sydney, then in 1987 becoming the foundation Professor to the Department of Anaesthesiology at the University of Hong Kong, and in 1990 foundation Professor and Chair, Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care at the University of Newcastle, NSW. Holland had strong historical interests and was responsible for founding the Society for the Preservation of Artefacts of Surgery and Medicine (SPASM) and its associated museum. He also served an important term as Dean of the Faculty of Anaesthetists, Royal Australasian College of Surgeons prior to that Faculty becoming independent as the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA). Professor Holland received many accolades for these activities during his life, which are noted. It is fitting to recognise his seminal contributions to patient safety over more than 50 years.

Abstract:

Abstract From 1930 to 1955, Geoffrey Kaye, M.B.B.S., was one of the most influential anesthetists in Australia. In 1951, he opened a center of excellence for Australian anesthesia at 49 Mathoura Road, Toorak, Melbourne, which Kaye affectionately called “The Anaesthestists’ Castle” and “49.” “49” was designed to foster the educational, research, and administrative activities that would allow Australian anesthesia to reach the level of practice and professionalism found in Europe and America. Kaye wholly financed the venture and lived on the second floor of the building. During his world-wide travels, Kaye had developed a friendship with Paul M. Wood, M.D., the originator of the American Library-Museum now known eponymously as the Wood Library-Museum of Anesthesiology. Through the letters Kaye sent to Wood, the authors see Kaye’s perception of the events surrounding the rise and fall of “49.” Kaye’s early letters were optimistic as he discussed the procurements and provisions he made for “49.” His later letters exhibit frustration at the lack of participation by members of the Australian Society of Anaesthetists. Kaye was truly a visionary for his time. He believed that the diffusion center which “49” was to become was not only realistic and achievable but also necessary if Australian anesthesia was to gain international prominence comparable to anesthesia in Europe and North America. In the end, the failure of “49” left Kaye estranged from Australian anesthesia for many years. How this estrangement affected Australian anesthesia is unknown.

Abstract:

The history of hypoxia prevention is closely inter-related with high altitude mountain and aviation physiology. One pioneering attempt to overcome low inspired oxygen partial pressures in aviation was the BLB mask—named after the three designers —Walter M Boothby, W Randolph Lovelace II and Arthur H Bulbulian. This mask and its variations originated just prior to World War 2 when aircraft were able to fly higher than 10,000 feet and pilot hypoxia affecting performance was an increasing problem. We give a brief description of the mask and its designers and discuss the donation of a model used by the British War Office in October 1940 and donated to the Harry Daly Museum at the Australian Society of Anaesthetists by the family of Dr Fred Street. Dr Street was a pioneering paediatric surgeon in Australia and served as a doctor in the Middle East and New Guinea in World War 2. He received the Military Cross.

IntroductionThe intraoperative administration of dexamethasone for prophylaxis against postoperative nausea and vomiting is a common and recommended practice. The safety of the administration of this immunosuppressive agent at a time of significant immunological disruption has not been rigorously evaluated in terms of infective complications.Methods/analysisThis is a pragmatic, multicentre, randomised, controlled, non-inferiority trial. A total of 8880 patients undergoing elective major surgery will be enrolled. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive either dexamethasone 8 mg or placebo intravenously following the induction of anaesthesia in a 1:1 ratio, stratified by centre and diabetes status. Patient enrolment into the trial is ongoing. The primary outcome is surgical site infection at 30 days following surgery, defined according to the Centre for Disease Control criteria.Ethics/disseminationThe PADDI trial has been approved by the ethics committees of over 45 participating sites in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, South Africa and the Netherlands. The trial has been endorsed by the Australia and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists Clinical Trials Network and the Australian Society for Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Network. Participant recruitment began in March 2016 and is expected to be complete in mid-2019. Publication of the results of the PADDI trial is anticipated to occur in early 2020.Trial registration numberACTRN12614001226695.

Abstract:

There is an increasing number of specialties performing office-based procedures, with many different providers practising in this field. Office Based Anaesthesia Solutions is a private enterprise designed to be a high-quality general anaesthesia and sedation service delivering care across 18 dental practices in Victoria. We undertook a criterion-based audit of our practice standards and outcomes. Following ethics approval, we retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients managed by our service between March 2014 and July 2017. We collected demographic data, information about anaesthesia technique, and surgical features. We assessed our findings against the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) day surgery policy documents. During the specified period, we provided anaesthesia or sedation for 1,323 patients. Their ages ranged from two to 93 years (mean [standard deviation] 33.3 [18.6] years). Ninety-three percent of patients were American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification 1 or 2. Patient demographics were in line with ANZCA day surgical policy documents. Total intravenous anaesthesia was used in 1,054 of the 1,096 documented general anaesthesia cases. There were three unplanned hospital transfers (annual incidence 0.07%). As this was the first Australian criteria-based audit of office-based anaesthesia (OBA) for dental procedures, we cannot compare our findings directly to previous studies. However, we feel that our patient demographics fell within acceptable ANZCA day procedure standards and our adverse event rate was both very low and similar to other published international adverse event rates. Our audit indicates that with careful screening processes, patient selection and medical governance, OBA is a viable model of care for patients undergoing dental procedures.

Abstract:

The term medical dominance refers to medicine as the most powerful overarching profession in the health system. Medicine dominates the Australian health care system and is a key feature of the organisation be it socially, politically, economically and intellectually. Medicine has become influential in childbirth, maternity service delivery and midwifery. There is no doubt that medicine plays a key role in society. We have seen revolutionary medicine and medical results with the introduction of anaesthetics, antibiotics, surgery and the use of science and technology to produce lifesaving treatments utilised within society today. Evidence-based research is used to provide guidelines for clinical practice to ensure risks of patient care are mitigated and optimal outcomes are achieved.1

Abstract:

Charles Walter Suckling (1920–2013) is most remembered for being the discoverer of the inhalant anaesthetic halothane, which revolutionized anaesthesia and surgical practice. He was born in Teddington, Middlesex, but grew up largely in Wallasey, Merseyside, where his father was a cargo superintendent for imports from Australia produced by one of Charles’s maternal uncle's cooperatives. Charles was educated at Oldershaw Grammar School, Wallasey, and the University of Liverpool, where he obtained a first class honours degree in chemistry (1942). With this qualification he was directed to carry out national service in the chemical industry at ICI in Widnes and was subsequently able to obtain a scholarship to work towards a PhD at the University of Liverpool (1949), which he was awarded for the structural elucidation of the natural product santal, by classical organic chemical methods. The project leading to the discovery of halothane was begun in 1951 at ICI's Widnes Laboratory and was one of the first examples of rational drug design; halothane reached clinical practice in 1956. This and other industrial research innovations were recognized by his election to the Fellowship of the Royal Society in 1978. Charles’s career at ICI took him into both scientific and commercial management roles, including chairman of Paints Division and general manager of Research and Technology, a company-wide brief at head office, Millbank. After retiring from ICI (1982) he undertook many public service and charitable tasks, including membership of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution, for which he was awarded the CBE, and positions on the councils of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and Royal College of Art and Design. Charles retired from professional life fully in 2001. In 1946 he married Eleanor Margaret Watterson; their family comprised twin sons, both of whom became professional scientists, and a daughter, who became a medical doctor. Charles died at Knebworth, Hertfordshire, in 2013.

Abstract:

The Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) carried out a review of the roles of anaesthetists in providing acute care services in both public and private hospitals in Europe, North America and South-East Asia. As a result, ANZCA revised its education and training program and its processes relating to overseastrained specialists. The new training program, introduced in 2004, formed the basis for submissions to the Australian Medical Council, and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission/ Australian Health Workforce Officials? Committee review of medical colleges. A revised continuing professional development program will be in place in 2007. Anaesthetists in Australia and New Zealand play a pivotal role in providing services in both public and private hospitals, as well as supporting intensive care medicine, pain medicine and hyperbaric medicine. Anaesthesia allows surgery, obstetrics, procedural medicine and interventional medical imaging to function optimally, by ensuring that the patient journey is safe and has high quality care. Specialist anaesthetists in Australia now exceed Australian Medical Workforce Advisory Committee recommendations

Abstract:

The internet is an increasingly important source of information for anaesthetists. We sought to determine the extent and patterns of internet use among Australian anaesthetists, and to assess its effect on clinical decision-making. A postal survey of all Australian Fellows of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (n=2344) was performed. The response rate was 48% (n=1109) and 1066 responses were analysed. Ninety-seven per cent of respondents, much higher than the national average of 72%, had internet access at work or home. The majority used the internet at least once a month for patient care, and over 50% had made clinical decisions influenced by information found on the internet. In contrast, less than 20% had had any training in its use. In terms of access, rural Australia did not appear to be disadvantaged.

Abstract:

This survey examines pain management after thoracotomy in Australian hospitals. Questionnaires were sent to senior thoracic anaesthetists at 27 hospitals (16 public and 11 private) with thoracic surgical units. Twenty-six anaesthetists replied and 24 responses were included in the analyses. Seventy-two percent of respondents were from hospitals with acute pain services (APS), and in 94% of these hospitals patients are reportedly visited by the APS. The most frequently used analgesic modalities are epidural analgesia, intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IVPCA), and nurse-controlled intravenous opioid infusions. Over half of the anaesthetists reported using local anaesthetic intercostal nerve block, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or paracetamol. Combinations of analgesic techniques were cited frequently. Respondents reported that cryoanalgesia, interpleural blockade, paravertebral blockade, subarachnoid infusions, ketamine, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation are used infrequently. Anaesthetists from public hospitals reported using epidural analgesia, IVPCA and NSAIDs more frequently than those from private hospitals. When epidural analgesia is used, most respondents place the catheter in the mid-thoracic region (91%), use a regimen of opioids plus local anaesthetic (96%), use a constant infusion technique (100%), and continue analgesia for up to three days (83%). Over half of the respondents reported that post-thoracotomy patients are nursed in a high-dependency area. Seventy-nine percent of respondents selected epidural analgesia as the best available analgesia technique, whereas 21% consider IVPCA to be the best. Only 75% of respondents reported that the type of analgesia they consider best is also the type which they use most frequently ‡ .

Abstract:

All Fellows of the Faculty of Anaesthetists, Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (now Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists) were surveyed by mail regarding their use of prophylactic atropine. They were asked whether their usual practice was to give atropine for the following indications: premedication, induction of anaesthesia, intubation of the trachea, one dose of suxamethonium, a second dose of suxamethonium, halothane anaesthesia, oropharyngeal surgery, bronchoscopy and eye surgery. For each indication they were asked for details regarding their practice concerning neonates, infants, children and adults. The large response rate of 86% of Fellows returning a survey form ensured that the survey was representative of Australian anaesthetic practice. Results indicate a wide variation in practice regarding the prophylactic use of atropine, with neonates, infants and children more likely to receive prophylactic atropine than adults. The majority do not give prophylactic atropine as premedication, but may give it in the younger age groups at induction, and many (67%) only give it if they are to administer suxamethonium to a child. The only indication for which a convincing majority (>80%) of anaesthetists agreed that prophylactic atropine should be given was when a repeated dose of suxamethonium was to be given to neonates, infants or children. A large proportion of anaesthetists (>80%) agreed that atropine is not necessary prior to halothane anaesthesia in all age groups, nor as premedication, at induction, at intubation, prior to oropharyngeal surgery or prior to eye surgery in adults. These results were compared with the practice at a major paediatric hospital where the practice is not to use routine prophylactic atropine.

Abstract:

The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the perceptions of Australian anaesthetists in relation to smartphone use within anaesthetic practice. In particular, we aimed to assess the frequency of smartphone use, the types and number of smartphone applications used, how reliant anaesthetists perceive themselves to be on smartphones and whether they perceive them to be a factor that aids or distracts from their practice. Secondly, we assessed whether there is an association between the type, frequency, reliance and perceptions of smartphone use and the years of experience as an anaesthetist. A 24-item questionnaire addressing these questions was created and distributed to an email list of credentialled anaesthetists in Melbourne, Australia. A total of 113 consultant anaesthetists who practise at 55 hospitals in Melbourne completed the questionnaire. Our results suggest that the majority of anaesthetists are using smartphones regularly in their practice. About 74% of respondents agreed that they rely on their smartphone for their work. We found that respondents were more likely to rely on smartphones and consider them to aid patient safety than to consider them a distraction. This phenomenon was particularly apparent in those who had been a consultant anaesthetist for less than three years. Furthermore, those who had been a consultant anaesthetist for less than three years were more likely to have more smartphone apps relating to anaesthetics, use them more often and rely on them to a greater degree. Our results highlight the ubiquitous and perceived useful nature of smartphones in anaesthetic practice.

Abstract:

Patients’ knowledge of anaesthetists’ qualifications and roles remains inaccurate despite the efforts of professional bodies worldwide. However, patients have not been surveyed on this subject in Australia for more than 20 years. We therefore surveyed 200 patients attending the pre-admission clinic prior to elective non-cardiothoracic surgery in an Australian teaching hospital to determine current knowledge. Most (90.5%) patients stated that anaesthetists are medically qualified and 83.5% stated that they are medical specialists. Younger age, an English-speaking background and previous experience with surgery predicted knowledge of anaesthetists’ qualifications. Most patients believed that anaesthetists work in the operating theatre and are continually present during surgery, but few recognised their leading role in the care of patients during surgery or their other roles outside the operating theatre. Increased efforts are required to inform patients about the roles of anaesthetists in their care.
