However, patient satisfaction is a critical indicator of anesthetic care quality. This research aimed to determine the mothers' satisfaction levels after they had an elective or emergency cesarean section under regional anesthesia. Materials and Methods: This noninterventional, descriptive, cross-sectional questionnaire-based study included 327 participants to evaluate patients' satisfaction with regional anesthesia for cesarean section in Saudi Arabia. The research employed descriptive analysis and a modified Likert scale to assess maternal satisfaction. The study considered a P value of ≤0.05 to decide statistical significance. Results: The respondents' overall satisfaction with regional anesthesia services were rated high, and 198 (60.6%) were satisfied with recommending regional anesthesia to others, while only 28 (8.6%) disagreed with recommending regional anesthesia to others. Most participants scored higher satisfaction rates in all areas of the study. About 233 (71.7%) reported satisfaction concerning the anesthesia staff for patients' privacy; nearly 226 (69.1%) agreed with the level of professionalism of the anesthesia team. Also, 253 (77.4%) were satisfied with the anesthesia team's politeness. Conclusion: Our study concluded that a higher satisfaction rate is associated with regional anesthesia among participants who underwent cesarean section.

Every day they are exposed to deadly pathogens through contaminated needle and other sharps injuries. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and factors associated with needle stick and sharp injuries among healthcare workers in Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital. Facility based cross-sectional survey was conducted from 1-5 July 2012, using questionnaire. All healthcare workers contacted in the study period were included. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 16.0. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with needle stick and sharp injuries. From the total 332 healthcare workers enrolled, 216 (65.1%) were females. Nearly 2/3 rd were diploma holders, and Nurse by profession. Hundred three (31.0%) had needle stick and sharp injury at least once in the previous 12 months. Three fourth of the injuries were due to needle stick. Those whose monthly income was >=1000.00Eth Birr, satisfied on their job, and worked in waste handling unit were likelyu 4.1, 2.8, and 4.1 more likely to get injured than their counterparts respectively (Adjusted Odds ratio [AOR] =4.1, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.27-13.14, AOR=2.78, 95% CI 1.01-7.63, and AOR=4.1, 95% CI 1.27-13.14). Those who worked in maternity unit were 80% less likely to get injured than those who worked in Emergency units (AOR= 0.20, 95% CI 0.05-0.78). Nearly 1/3 rd of participants had needle stick and sharp injury at least once in the previous year. Suboptimal practices and behaviours that put them at risk to the injury were identified. Authorities should give on job training, and regular supportive supervision. Further research is needed to determine the incidence of the injury, and the type of disease they would acquire.

The aim of this study to is identify and examine the factors associated with NSIs incidence among anesthesia staff. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted randomly on a sample of Anesthesia staff working in operating theatres from major hospitals in the Eastern region, of Saudi Arabia. Data on demographic characteristics, history of NSIs, nature of work, compliance with infection control protocols, and knowledge of infection control procedures and disease transmission were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed with demographic variables by using t-test and ANOVA to find the significant difference. A P value of ≤0.05 is considered for statistical significance. Overall (89.2%) of the participants accidentally suffered NSIs, of which 60.2% said this occurred monthly during routine cases, emergencies, or on-calls, and about (35.5%) reported contamination after their injury. The most commonly reported reason for NSIs was during withdrawing drugs of anesthesia from ampules, needle recapping, and placing a needle in a sharp's container. Overall, participants had inadequate practices regarding standard precautions. NSIs is a common public health problem in operating rooms among anesthesia staff, particularly during emergencies and stressful work schedules. The promotion of decent working conditions, the elimination of excessive use of injections, and the observance of general precautions will be important for the future control of potential blood-borne pathogens infections from occupational exposure to sharps in this environment.

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of patient perception regarding the information contained in the pre-anesthetics clinics. The anesthesiologist evaluates all patients to assess the medical condition and prepare for the planned procedure. The American Society of Anesthesiologists has brought out essential calibers for pre-operative anesthetic evaluation that suit all patients who come in for all methods of anesthesia. Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the perception of patients regarding the information they received in the pre-operative anesthesia evaluation clinics Methods: A study dealt with descriptive-analytical research of patients' perceptions regarding the information during pre-operative anesthesia evaluation.It was done using a structured questionnaire to measure overall patient perception using Likert's scores; Three hundred samples were selected by using organized random sampling. The duration of the study was from 2016-2019 Result: In this study, a survey includes specific questions about patient perception regarding the information given for them when coming in for pre-operative anesthesia evaluation. Investigation shows a low level of comprehension and found an average of only 48.3% of perception for the given information. Conclusion: This study shows that patients lack the optimum level regarding the perception of the information provided in pre-operative anesthesia evaluation. The study is recommending further studies to investigate the causes of low perception of pre-operative anesthesia evaluation among the concerned patients.

There are two methods for the insertion of a Central Venous Catheter, ultrasound imaging, and anatomical landmarks. The CVC is inserted into a central vein such as the internal jugular, Subclavian, and femoral veins in sterile procedures with as few attempts as possible to reduce complications. Objective: The study aimed to review the incidence of complications during the insertion of central venous catheterization guided by ultrasound versus an anatomical landmark. Methodology: The researchers collected papers that met the criteria and were already published in databases, i.e., the Wiley digital library, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Databases in the period of (2000-2020).

Clinicians assured that oxygenation is not possible without an open and safe airway. The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Corona-2 Virus (SARSCoV-2), which causes COVID-19, is encapsulated with single-stranded ribonucleic acid and is highly contagious. Authors believed that the transfer of the virus occurs primarily through direct contact with the patient or contaminated surfaces or through the spread of droplets (i.e., relatively large particles deposited in the air) and smaller particles staying longer in the air. Any airway management or procedures in emergency, operation theatre, and intensive care departments can produce aerosols to increase the risk of contamination. For the above reason, healthcare professionals who are treating patients with COVID-19 are at risk of developing the disease. The purpose of the current study is to review the methods that reduce the risk of an airborne viral spread, maximize the early attempt success, and encourage the use of indirect glottic visualization with video laryngoscopy (VL). The mentioned measures are approved to reduce personnel exposure in all adult COVID 19 patients who are requiring airway management in all emergency departments, hospital wards, and ICUs. The author highlights the needed measures that require to be taken for the safety of the health care workers associated with the airway procedure while providing high-quality patient care to the COVID-19, suspected, or confirmed patients

for the administration of drugs, fluids and to measure blood pressure as well as other medical uses. There are two
methods for the insertion of a Central Venous Catheter, ultrasound imaging, and anatomical landmarks. The CVC is
inserted into a central vein such as the internal jugular, Subclavian, and femoral veins in sterile procedures with as
few attempts as possible to reduce complications. Objective: The study aimed to review the incidence of complications
during the insertion of central venous catheterization guided by ultrasound versus an anatomical landmark.
Methodology: The researchers collected papers that met the criteria and were already published in databases, i.e., the
Wiley digital library, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Databases in the period of (2000-2020). The
sample consisted of 25 articles. Mesh headings searched included ultrasound, anatomical landmark, central venous
cannulation, and complications. Result: Findings of 24 (96%) Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) in different parts
of the world revealed that the ultrasound imaging method has fewer complications than anatomical landmark during
central venous cannulation, A p-value<0.05, and only 1(4%) study showed the insignificance with the p-value is >0.05.
Conclusion: According to all previous studies, the review concluded that ultrasound imaging is more effective in
reducing complications compared to the anatomical landmark technique in patients requiring central venous catheter
insertion. And this review is recommending further studies to discover other factors that can reduce the complications.
