The researchers hoped that if by inducing hypothermia early on after the cardiac arrest and loss of consciousness there would be little to no brain damage. The researchers believed that in order to get a better understanding of cooling temperatures the patients were to be randomly assigned a cooling temperature either at 33 ° C or at 36 °C group. From there a set of test would be preformed to gather data on which group…

    Anesthesia Delivery Model

I will be conducting a survey consisting of previously published survey questions regarding the pre-operation and post-operation pain ratings of the patient, the procedure of anesthesia the patient will undergo, the pre-operation and post-operation pain complaints, and the amount of medicine needed to relieve patient pain during recovery. The variables I will be comparing are the pain scale values, the actual pain complaints, and the methods of pain management and anesthesia…
