Abstract
  • Background: While initially approved for sedation in the intensive care units, dexmedetomidine
    use has vastly evolved and has been utilized as a perioperative anesthesia adjunct to improve
    adult and pediatric patient outcomes related to postoperative shivering, emergence delirium, and
    acute pain management. However, dexmedetomidine was an underutilized anesthetic adjunct by
    Great Lakes Anesthesia (GLA) providers at Saint Joseph Health System: Plymouth Medical
    Center (PMC). Methodology: The intention of the DNP scholarly project was to increase
    knowledge and use of dexmedetomidine through an educational intervention. The intervention
    consisted of an educational PowerPoint, which contained a detailed summary of the latest
    systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the various uses of dexmedetomidine in anesthetic
    practice. In addition, the DNP project team leader included a reference notecard with a concise
    summary of dexmedetomidine dosages and indications. To assess GLA provider knowledge, a
    pretest and posttest were administered before and after the educational intervention. To assess
    use of dexmedetomidine, a prospective chart audit was completed three months after the
    educational intervention. Findings: The DNP project team leader utilized percent of change to
    analyze GLA provider knowledge of dexmedetomidine and raw frequencies to assess use of
    dexmedetomidine. While there was only a 4% increase in posttest scores compared to pretest
    scores, 23 vials of dexmedetomidine were administered over the three-month period following
    project implementation. Implications: Due to the minimal increase in pre/posttest scores, an
    educational PowerPoint may not have been the most effective means to educate anesthesia
    providers. However, a condensed and accessible summary of the various uses of
    dexmedetomidine in anesthetic practice may have contributed to the increased use of
    dexmedetomidine at PMC.
