United by a commitment to excellence in anesthesia practice, our academic and clinical interests focus on improving patient outcomes, advancing nurse anesthesia education, and contributing meaningfully to the profession. Reducing Spinal-Induced Hypotension in Cesarean Sections with Ondansetron The use of spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery is widespread due to its simplicity and reliability. Though generally considered a safe technique, hypotension is the most common complication that anesthesia providers face when administering spinal anesthetics to parturients. In this population, hypotension is partly attributed to a cardioinhibitory response called the Bezhold-Jarish reflex which, evidence suggests, may be attenuated by non-vasoactive medications such as ondansetron. This project aims to build upon the foundational work of past initiatives and disseminate evidence-based research to improve the timing and administration of ondansetron prior to cesarean delivery to promote both maternal and fetal safety. Through the PICO framework: Do parturients receiving a spinal for cesarean delivery (P) that receive ondansetron before block onset (I) compared to after block onset (C) have reduced incidence of hypotension (O)? a literature search and review informed the development of educational brochures which were distributed to anesthesia providers at a single hospital setting. Prior to the introduction of the brochure, pre-intervention surveys indicated that 73% of anesthesia providers administered ondansetron prior to onset of spinal anesthesia. After educational materials were distributed, post-intervention surveys showed that 100% of providers administered ondansetron prior to spinal administration. The findings suggest that dissemination of knowledge may be an effective strategy in the enhancement of anesthesia care and may contribute to compliance with best practices. These results are, however, limited by the single-center design and small sample size. Lonnie W.

Improving Provider Knowledge and Utilization of Intrathecal Dexmedetomidine as an Analgesic Adjunct to Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Sections Cesarean delivery commonly relies on spinal anesthesia, which may provide incomplete visceral analgesia and often requires opioid adjuncts associated with adverse effects. Intrathecal dexmedetomidine is a promising non-opioid alternative. This quality improvement project evaluated whether targeted education and improved access increased CRNA knowledge, confidence, and utilization. Following the intervention, weekly use increased from 25% to 100%, provider knowledge improved, opioid requirements decreased, spinal block onset was faster and duration prolonged, maternal comfort improved, and side effects were minimal. These findings support intrathecal dexmedetomidine as a safe, effective opioid-sparing spinal adjuvant.

My research explores the relationship between age of first social media exposure and anxiety levels in high school students. I find this topic interesting because I think it is fascinating how different families have different rules regarding cell phones, social media, etc. The Relationship Between Age of First Social media Exposure and Anxiety Levels in High School Students Social media use is common among adolescents, but early exposure may affect mental health. This study examines the relationship between the age of first social media use and anxiety levels in high school students. Using anonymous surveys, students will report the age they began using social media and complete the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) to measure anxiety. The study analyzes whether earlier exposure is associated with higher anxiety levels. Findings may help parents, educators, and schools promote healthier social media habits its and support student mental well-being.

Esophageal vs Nasal Temperature Probes: A Quality Improvement Initiative to Reduce Intraoperative Hypothermia Unintended intraoperative hypothermia is a frequent anesthesia-related complication associated with delayed drug metabolism, coagulopathy, and increased surgical site infections. Accurate core temperature monitoring is essential for prevention, yet probe selection significantly influences measurement reliability. Evidence supports esophageal temperature probes as a more accurate reflection of core body temperature compared to nasopharyngeal probes, offering earlier detection of hypothermia and improved thermal management. This quality improvement project aimed to evaluate whether an educational intervention promoting the use of esophageal temperature probes among anesthesia providers would reduce the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia in adult surgical patients receiving general anesthesia. Conducted at a large community hospital in northeast Florida, the initiative included a pre- and post-intervention survey, an educational handout summarizing American Society of Anesthesiologists temperature monitoring standards, laminated operating room reminders, and email communications. Retrospective data were analyzed using the Epic SlicerDicer tool to compare probe utilization and hypothermia incidence (defined as <35.5 °C) before and after the intervention. Following education, anesthesia provider awareness of esophageal probe accuracy increased from 40% to 45%, and perceived benefit rose from 56% to 65%. Esophageal probe use increased by 59% from 17 to 27 cases, while nasopharyngeal probe use increased by 218% from 27 to 86 cases. Although knowledge improved, practice patterns remained largely unchanged due to unclear probe selection criteria, limited in-person training, and documentation inconsistencies. These findings suggest that education alone may not sustain behavioral change; future initiatives should incorporate live training, clear criteria, and ongoing feedback.

Incorporation of Demonstration Videos into the Nurse Anesthesia Simulation Lab Curriculum Simulation-based education is foundational in nurse anesthesia training, yet variability in student preparation can affect performance during high-stakes assessments. Instructional videos designed with cognitive learning principles offer a way to standardize preparation and improve learner outcomes. This doctoral project asked the question —In nurse anesthesia students undergoing simulation lab training (P), does watching an instructional video beforehand (I), compared to no video preparation (C), lead students to believe that the video improves their simulation performance (O)? To answer this question, we evaluated whether access to a custom-designed instructional video before a simulation lab improved second-year student registered nurse anesthetists’ (SRNAs) perceived preparedness, confidence, and procedural recall during a complex emergence scenario. A pre–post intervention design was used. SRNAs first completed a “Complicated Induction” simulation without preparatory video and then completed a pre-intervention survey assessing confidence and recall. Two weeks later, the same cohort completed a “Complicated Emergence” simulation after viewing a video developed using Mayer’s Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning. A post-intervention survey assessed the same metrics and asked about the perceived impact of the video. Students reported improved confidence, clarity, and preparedness after the video-enhanced simulation. Most participants believed the video contributed positively to their performance. These findings are consistent with existing literature demonstrating that multimedia instruction, when designed to manage cognitive load and enhance engagement, improves learning outcomes. Instructional videos that are theory-informed and delivered “just-in-time” represent a scalable, low-cost strategy to enhance simulation preparation in nurse anesthesia education. Dr. R.

My team is Coastal Development, and we are am excited to contribute to innovative solutions for a more sustainable future. The Seabreeze Parking Garage The Seabreeze Parking Garage Project, located at the corner of Thomas Drive and Patronis Drive in Panama City, Florida, will support the adjacent Seabreeze Hotel. Led by Project Manager and Geotechnical Engineer Bradyn Luna, the project team—including Environmental/Hydraulic Engineer Justin Haber, Structural Engineer Eduardo Vasquez, and Transportation Engineer Genna Patterson—will design a 2-story, 318-vehicle parking garage on the existing 7-acre site. The design will address the site's natural slope towards an adjacent creek with a drainage system incorporating inlets, piping, and a 15,000 sq ft, 4.5 ft deep pond, sized to accommodate runoff from both the garage and the hotel (estimated 100,000 sq ft impervious area). Geotechnical investigations, including existing boring data, will inform foundation design, considering shallow spread footings and deep foundations due to sandy soils extending to 70 feet. The garage structure, anticipated to be approximately 55,930 sq ft, will utilize reinforced concrete slabs, double T-beams and columns. Traffic engineering, following Florida standards, will optimize internal circulation and ensure safe access to Thomas Drive, including turn lanes, signage, crosswalks, and sidewalks. To achieve this, we are utilizing design/drafting software such as Civil3D, OpenRoads and ICPR. The Seabreeze Parking Garage project’s design showcases a comprehensive application of civil engineering principles, integrating geotechnical analysis, structural design, hydraulic considerations, and traffic engineering to deliver a functional and efficient parking facility.

Discriminating Between Available and Unavailable Edibles The client in the procedures is a thirteen-year-old boy who attends ECAP approximately 25 hours each week. Caregivers have expressed concerns regarding the client’s touching other’s food and consuming food items that are unavailable to him. Additionally, the clinical team has observed a deficit related to the client’s ability to discriminate between available and unavailable food items, evidenced by his persistent demanding for edibles when clinician prompt him to wait. The clinical team elected to implement the program Discriminating Between Available and Unavailable Edibles. Within the first objective, clinicians placed an available edible on a green stimulus and an unavailable edible on a red stimulus. Clinicians systematically increased the duration of which the client was required to wait for the unavailable edible, but he was provided access to the available edible at any point. Within the second objective, clinicians removed the green and red visuals. Clinicians presented the available edible and verbally stated that the client could have access to the edible, followed by presenting the unavailable edible and stated that the client could not have access to the edible. If the client attempted to grab the available edible, the clinician blocked the response and stated, “you can’t have the (edible) yet,” while shaking their head “no.” The client has shown significant progress within this program and is currently working towards mastery of discriminating between available and unavailable edibles and refraining from attempting to consume the unavailable edible for two minutes without a visual prompt Melissa Januchowski Florida State University Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology garred@psy.fsu.edu Discrimination, Waiting, Complete Job fair poster screenshot 3.21.25.jpg No 2025 5th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium, April 17, 2025 https://pc.fsu.edu/student-research/symposium/research-symposium-program-portal?element_parents=elements/student_photo&amp;ajax_form=1&amp;_wrapper_format=drupal_ajax&amp;token=DxYKhPQd41G8cdu4M-fsiuuL0IBCOshR97wN0sBPXS0

Importance of Role Models in the Social Development of Teens Human behavior is a core characteristic of our nature. From birth, we observe and imitate others as they shape our development. The most notable figure we observe from adolescence is role models. Depending on the type of role model, it can fundamentally shape their social behavior. For decades, research has uncovered the link between adolescent behavior and role model influence. This study seeks to reveal a different perspective on this interconnection, offering insight into the lesser-known variable of inadequate role models. To do so, a survey was given to high school students aged 15 to 18. Asking participants to identify an inadequate role model in their life, analyze their risk behaviors, and analyze their participation in risk behaviors while scaling the role model they chose from least to most important on a 5-point Likert scale. The raw data was then analyzed, and conclusions were drawn based on their perception of the inadequate role model, how it impacted them, and their behavior. The experiments’ outcomes offer a myriad of applications, especially concerning teenagers. It is extremely advantageous for providing a comprehensive understanding of the outcome of teen perception towards inadequate role models and how that affects resiliency. While also allowing individuals to procure methods to improve relationships between teens and role models as well as increase the importance of prosocial behavior among people of any age. While the culmination of data and results were conclusive within this investigation, research beyond this experiment needs to be performed in order to increase lucidity.

"Got Beads" Maladaptive Behavior Intervention through Contingent Access to Preferred Stereotypy Throughout clinical sessions, Colton exhibited variable-to-high rates of SIB, aggression, and ATO. Colton’s SIB has changed topographies from primarily wrist biting to include hand biting, leg biting, head hitting with an open palm, and hitting his head on walls. Additionally, Colton’s ATO can be observed by Colton hitting tables, walls, and throwing objects including toys, chairs, and tables. Colton’s ATO in the form of throwing items has become a safety concern for clinicians as well as himself. Additionally, clinicians and caregivers are concerned with the topography of Colton hitting his head on walls and hitting his head with his hand regarding his 4common antecedent for Colton’s SIB is his current behavior intervention plan. Colton’s current behavior intervention plan was mastered in April 2023, but the magnitude of behavior episodes has increased recently with fewer precursors appearing immediately prior to the behaviors occurring. Although behavior episodes occur usually only once or twice during a four-hour session, the magnitude of these behaviors has increased to result in broken skin, bruising of the wrists (biting) and sides (pinching), and broken tables and furniture. These behaviors more importantly are a concern for Colton’s safety but also interfere with his continued skill acquisition.
This behavior intervention plan utilizes antecedent interventions such as a visual schedule and differential reinforcement of other behaviors (DRO) (Roberts, Mace, & Daggett, 1995; Smith et al., 1995).

Maximizing FRC Autonomous Efficiency with Probabilistic Decision-Making Models This paper explores the application of probabilistic decision-making models to enhance the efficiency and reliability of autonomous operation in FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) robots. Traditional deterministic autonomous programs often struggle with variability in sensor data, drivetrain inconsistencies, and unforeseen obstacles, leading to suboptimal performance. Robots can dynamically adjust their actions based on real-time conditions by integrating probabilistic models, optimizing movement strategies, and increasing scoring efficiency. Drawing from research in autonomous vehicles and Bayesian networks, this study examines how probabilistic frameworks improve adaptability and decision-making in uncertain environments. Key findings demonstrate that probabilistic approaches enhance FRC autonomous strategies by enabling real-time adjustments, reducing error rates, and maximizing competitive performance. The results suggest that future FRC teams can benefit from incorporating probabilistic modeling techniques to develop more robust and flexible autonomous routines.

The melting point phase diagram of a cocrystal between L-Proline and Naproxen This experiment focuses on a selected cocrystal system model to understand cocrystal formation using Naproxen and L-Proline. Naproxen is known as a slow-absorbing pain reliever and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in the profen family, and L-proline is a very successful amino acid cocrystal stabilizing coformer. Researchers interested in zwitterionic cocrystals can use them to make cocrystals due to their conventional chemical properties in active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). We will be using a melting point phase diagram and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to collect data and other measurements and analyze their temperatures. The melting point phase diagram of the solid cocrystals will be determined by mixing different ratios of L-Proline to Naproxen to note and analyze their changing melting points. To conclude this experiment, we will establish a melting point phase diagram of organic cocrystal formation using pharmaceutical drugs like L-proline and Naproxen. Dr. Paul W.

Static Works Racing The rapid advancement in racing platform capabilities have led to unprecedented performance, subjecting drivers to extreme forces that are surpassing physiological limits. Maintaining precise vehicle control has become increasingly complex, making necessary the development of assistive technologies. Contemporary solutions have begun focusing on steering ratio modulation and the implementation of steer-by-wire systems, following past trends in aerospace innovation.
The aerospace industry has successfully implemented fly-by-wire systems, and in the most high performance applications, proprioception as a part of the control scheme is well proven. Proprioception is the human body’s ability to sense position and movement in three-dimensional space, and the human's inherent ability for proprioception makes it an ideal part of a closed loop control system. This is an opportunity to enhance the human-machine interface in a high-performance environment, where the margins for error are minute. The proposed research aims to develop an automotive proprioception steering system that is engineered for high-performance racing vehicles, and will be fully vetted in a simulated racing environment. This novel approach seeks to leverage human proprioception capabilities with advanced electronic control systems to revolutionize how drivers interact with their vehicles under extreme conditions.
