Ageing Populations

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are major orthopedic surgery models, addressing mainly ageing populations with multiple comorbidities and treatments, ASA II–IV, which may complicate the perioperative period. Therefore effective management of postoperative pain should allow rapid mobilization of the patient with shortening of hospitalization and social reintegration. In our review we propose an evaluation of the main analgesics models used today in the postoperative period. Their comparative analysis shows the benefits and side effects of each of these methods and guides us to how to use evidence-based medicine in our daily practice.

One of the primary goals of continuing medical education (CME) is to enhance the learners' performance, and a major goal of evidence-based medicine (EBM) is to improve knowledge of current best care. This paper overviews the use of a Learning Needs and Knowledge Assessment tool to highlight the potential learning needs and knowledge of neurologists and to focus the issues, interest and interactions of neurologists in a workshop on EBM migraine therapy. Virtually all neurologists felt they used evidence-based medicine in their daily practice. Surprisingly, 50% of neurologists agreed that they were uncertain which triptan to use. The great majority of neurologists felt that the triptans were not all equally efficacious. Our survey identified significant knowledge gaps among neurologists regarding how to appraise the validity of evidence from a randomized clinical trial, and with regard to what are the most clinically useful measures of benefit in clinical trials.

The practice of evidence-based medicine (EBM) is very important in delivering optimal patient care and the terms evidence-based medicine, or evidence-based practice, are used all around the world. This chapter discusses evidence-based paediatric oncology, including its history, an outline of what EBM is, EBM in paediatric oncology, steps in evidence-based paediatric oncology for a user of EBM, steps in guideline development as an implementer of EBM, common criticisms of EBM, and the future of EBM. The chapter gives an overview how EBM can be used in a non-exhaustive but still comprehensive way in daily practice of care for children with cancer, and which tools are available for paediatric oncologists. The majority of the chapter focuses on how to learn to become a skilled user of EBM.

Aim. The study was conducted to assess the level of awareness of surgeons about the principles of safe perioperative pharmacotherapy.Materials and methods. The survey of surgeons was conducted in 2018 on the basis of a questionnaire made by the authors, consisting of 60 questions and tasks, divided into 6 thematic blocks. The respondents had to demonstrate their knowledge both in the field of general principles of safe pharmacotherapy and private issues of using analgesics, anticoagulants, antibiotics in the perioperative period. The results of the survey were assessed as a percentage (proportion of correct answers) individually for each respondent and in total.Results. The results of the survey showed a lack of a deep understanding of the principles of safe pharmacotherapy in most clinical cases. Despite the fact that a number of answers completely correlated with the positions of evidence-based medicine, in general, there was a lack of systemic knowledge. The survey made it possible to identify those important points that should be first highlighted in the preparation of the training program. Conclusion. Every doctor should strive to minimize the preventable medical errors associated with pharmacotherapy. This is feasible only in the process of continuous daily learning. Practitioners' interest in the efficacy and safety of pharmacotherapy and mastering the basic decision-making algorithms for prescribing, controlling safety and cancelling drugs will improve the quality of medical care.
