Multidisciplinary simulation of local anaesthetic systemic toxicity improves diagnostic and treatment skills and self-confidence for pain clinic procedural staff

Local anaesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) is a rare complication after outpatient interventional pain procedures, which can present as an emergent and life-threatening condition. Proficiency and confidence in managing this rare situation necessitates strategies to ensure team members can perform ne...

description Local anaesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) is a rare complication after outpatient interventional pain procedures, which can present as an emergent and life-threatening condition. Proficiency and confidence in managing this rare situation necessitates strategies to ensure team members can perform necessary tasks. The primary objective was to familiarse the pain clinic procedural staff—physicians, nurses, medical assistants, and radiation technologists—with concise and current instruction and an opportunity to practice in a controlled environment. A two-part series was designed and led by the pain physicians, with the assistance of the simulation centre and clinic staff. A 20 min didactic session was held to familiarise the providers with relevant details and information regarding LAST. Then, 2 weeks later, all team members participated in a simulation exercise intended to portray a LAST encounter, tasking participants to recognise and manage the condition in a team-based model. Before and after the didactic and simulation sessions, the staff was administered a questionnaire to assess knowledge of LAST signs, symptoms, management strategies, and priorities. Respondents were better able to identify signs and symptoms of toxicity and prioritise management steps, and felt more confident in recognising symptoms, starting treatment and coordinating care. Furthermore, participants emphasised the positive of debriefing, practicing a rare situation and learning strategies for effective communication, team dynamics and role clarity. FORMAT: Small group didactic session, simulation exercise in a clinical simulation lab. TARGET AUDIENCE: Attending, fellow, and resident physicians, medical students, registered nurses, certified medical assistants, and radiation technologists working in a pain clinic procedure suite. OBJECTIVES: To acquaint the pain clinic procedural staff with current training related to LAST and an opportunity to practice in a controlled environment.
