My passion for the artistry of music was what inspired this topic for my research project. As an involved band kid, I have always been affected tremendously by classical music and live performances; I wondered if my peers felt the same, or if they were more emotionally connected to digitally made music. I am very excited to see the results! How Does the Use of Acoustic Vs. Digital Instruments in Recorded Music Affect Teens’ Emotional Response to Music? Music is all around us, whether it is digitally made with computer systems or produced acoustically from an instrument. Music is well-known for its therapeutic effects, such as producing a sense of "mental clarity", but will these emotional effects differ based on the instruments used? (McCraty et al. 1998). This is the nature that inspired my investigation on how the use of acoustic versus digital instruments in recorded music affect teens' emotional response to music. Using a true experimental methodology, I created a survey with various audios, which was given to high school students. I also created an observational checklist for each participant, which addressed the physical presentation of the participant's emotions during each audio. After obtaining 23 participant answers, the highest likert scale number response for each audio was then compared to the other audio that was the same piece, just different instruments. The qualitative results were then compared to the participant responses to ensure that the results seemed to correspond. It was shown that majority of the participants were generally more impacted by the acoustic instrumental audios than the digital instrumental audios, which was concluded from a more agreed response on the emotion that was being implemented by the music and the higher overall intensity of the acoustic instruments.

We both had interest in finding multi-modal pain management strategies for patients undergoing anesthesia with a focus on general anesthesia cases involving abdominal and gynecological cases. As someone who has lost colleagues to opiate addiction and unintentional overdose, it is a personal passion to help minimize the amount that anesthesia providers contribute to the initial stages of the opiate addiction process. Dexmedetomidine and Rescue Opiate Administration in the PACU It is well known that the opioid abuse epidemic is a major problem in public health worldwide, and more specifically, in the United States. In 2021, the CDC reported that approximately 75% of all drug overdose deaths in the United States were related to opioid use. It has also become widely accepted in the medical community that the use of dexmedetomidine in anesthesia may provide an opioid-sparing analgesic effect. Therefore, we undertook research into the potential opiate-sparing properties of dexmedetomidine for abdominal and gynecological general anesthesia cases, as well as other risks and benefits associated with its use. The research clearly showed that the use of dexmedetomidine not only could reduce the amount of opiates patients required in the postoperative period, but also showed a decreased in postoperative shivering, 24-hour pain scores, nausea, and vomiting. From this research, educational material was distributed to anesthesia professionals in an attempt to increase their willingness to use dexmedetomidine in their anesthesia practice. Providers then took part in a short, anonymous survey regarding their willingness to use dexmedetomidine in their practice in the future. R.

Dexmedetomidine for Reducing Opioid use in Laparoscopic Procedures Most people who are going to undergo a surgical procedure want to receive the best treatment possible. Desirable outcomes are always having as little pain as possible, getting back home as quickly as possible, and not having much nausea or other adverse effects. Some of these adverse effects could be from the surgery itself but also could be from the anesthesia provided. For this reason, it is critical that anesthesia providers know the best anesthesia practices to facilitate the best treatment for their patients. This paper aims to show the efficacy of dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery to increase satisfaction with some of these desired effects, as mentioned above. These benefits and effects lead to the discussion of the PICO question: Do adult patients who have laparoscopic procedures (P) who receive dexmedetomidine during the perioperative period (I) have lower pain scores in the PACU (O) compared to adult patients having laparoscopic procedures who do not receive dexmedetomidine (C)? Utilizing this question, a focused literature search was conducted and found that it is statistically significant that dexmedetomidine does cause a reduction in the use of opioids, which helps facilitate faster recovery times, less pain after surgery, and less nausea and vomiting. This information was provided and shared with anesthesia providers at a hospital in the South East area. This hospital already had a strong basis of knowledge regarding dexmedetomidine and already used the drug frequently. There was not any statistically significant increase in the use of dexmedetomidine during laparoscopic cases.

My research partner, Ethan Stanley, and I performed our DNAP project on the education of Gastric Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). We researched and implemented education regarding Gastric POCUS at one of our main clinical sites in Dothan, Alabama. Ethan and I are both from the Dothan area and worked at the same hospital before attending CRNA school. We plan to stay in the surrounding area and work in local hospitals after graduating from anesthesia school. Perioperative Gastric Point of Care Ultrasound Gastric point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is a resource that can be utilized perioperatively at the bedside to assess the patient's residual gastric volume to assist with guiding the anesthetic plan. With comorbidities such as diabetes and gastroparesis, as well as the increasing demand for GLP-1 agonists, POCUS is an invaluable tool for the anesthesia provider to assess for liquid and solid gastric content preoperatively. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate there is a lack of provider knowledge in how to adequately perform and interpret results of a gastric POCUS exam. The following PICO question was used to search various databases and guide the practice improvement project: Do anesthesia providers (P) who receive a structured educational program in POCUS (I) show increased knowledge in gastric content scanning preoperatively (O)? A critical appraisal of four studies showed that the utilization of gastric POCUS is a safe and effective bedside resource with very minimal complications. This paper explains the advantages and methods of gastric ultrasound that can be incorporated into deciding the safest anesthetic plan. Data was collected via a pre and post-educational intervention exam. The project team found a significant increase in provider knowledge after POCUS education was conducted. Lonnie W.

Post-Anesthesia Care Unit Times in Patients Reversed from Aminosteroid Paralytics with Sugammadex versus Neostigmine and Glycopyrrolate Combination Neuromuscular blockade (NMB) reversal is vital for anesthesia care to prevent residual blockade, which can lead to respiratory complications and delayed recovery. This quality improvement project evaluated sugammadex, a selective NMB reversal agent, compared to the traditional neostigmine-glycopyrrolate, focusing on postoperative care unit (PACU) times in adult patients undergoing general anesthesia with rocuronium or vecuronium. Evidence from clinical guidelines and studies supported sugammadex's advantages in efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Implemented at a facility in Dothan, Alabama, the project addressed financial concerns through education, aiming to increase sugammadex utilization. Usage increased modestly by 1.38% (from 434 to 440 cases), reflecting improved provider confidence and highlighting the value of overcoming barriers to enhance patient safety and operating room efficiency.

In school, she continues to have a strong passion for caring for cardiac surgical patients and hopes to provide cardiac anesthesia after graduation. Research interests include ways to optimize patient care through improving the quality and effectiveness of healthcare delivery. Does employing single-use translucent eye patches for eye protection in adult patients undergoing general anesthesia as opposed to reusing the same roll of tape across multiple patients decrease the possibility of infection? During general anesthesia, the patient's eyes must be protected to prevent corneal abrasions (Grixti et al., 2013). Several approaches are used to ensure that the eyelids remain closed during surgery including medical tape, transparent film, and single-use eye covers. There is no standard of care that delineates the superiority of one method of protection over another, as long as the eyelids remain closed, and the eyes are protected from external insult. Prior to the implementation of this project, the most commonly used method of eye protection at a large teaching hospital in central Florida was medical tape, likely due to its low cost, ease of use, and widespread availability throughout the hospital. Multi-use medical tape, however, carries an increased risk of healthcare acquired infections owing to the fact that it is almost never washed or sterilized after opening, is exposed to many patients and clinicians, and it is used to secure invasive lines, drains, and airways, and wound dressings.
The purpose of this paper is to highlight medical tape’s role in microbial transmission and to advocate for a simple practice change among anesthesia providers that reduces risk and promotes improved hygiene for patients. The following PICO question was used to search literature databases and guide the process improvement project: Does employing single-use translucent eye patches (I) for eye protection in adult patients undergoing general anesthesia (P) as opposed to reusing the same roll of tape (C) across multiple patients decrease the possibility of infection (O)?

Sustaining Best Practice: Revisiting Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure Assessment Methods in Anesthesia Providers Endotracheal tube cuff pressure plays a critical role in preventing complications such as aspiration, mucosal injury, and post-operative sore throat in patients undergoing anesthesia. Maintaining an optimal cuff pressure of 20-30 cmH2O is essential to avoid adverse outcomes; however, common inflation techniques often lead to inaccurate pressure levels. This project aims to assess the impact of anesthesia provider education and the use of manometers on endotracheal tube cuff pressure management at a trauma center in the Florida Panhandle. The study compares cuff pressures before and after the distribution of manometers and educational interventions aimed at improving cuff pressure monitoring. Previous data collected at the site indicated an average cuff pressure of 54 cmH2O with 89.7% of endotracheal tube cuff pressures falling outside the recommended range. A convenience data collection method was employed to assess cuff pressures in adult surgical patients, documenting variables such as provider experience and endotracheal tube size. Results were analyzed against prior data to evaluate the effectiveness of these practice changes in achieving optimal cuff pressures. New data determined an average cuff pressure of 70 cmH2O with 87% of endotracheal tube cuff pressures falling outside of the recommended range. The findings highlight the importance of education, manometer use, and documentation in improving patient outcomes, with implications for sustained quality improvement in anesthesia practice.

George Washington's Leadership through George Washington was the leader America needed when fighting for independence. Throughout his life, however, he found himself seeking leadership roles and ways to better the people of the, at the time, colonies. This study focuses on the leadership qualities that Washington accrued through his life and how he applied them to not only his time as commander and chief of the revolutionary army, but also his time serving the British before the revolution and as our first president. George Washington is a unique leader in history because he did not come from nobility or have an extensive education to help support him. Lacking many of the traits required of the time, he persevered and became the greatest leader America had until that point, and one of the greatest examples that we have had since.

I plan on going to a 4 year University and majoring in environmental science to have a fulfilling career restoring the planet. The Dissolution of Calcium Carbonate Shells The overproduction of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by the ocean and increases acidity, which ends up dissolving calcium carbonate skeletons such as coral reefs and shells for crabs and other organisms. In this experiment with 3 trials, I would take 5 different shells of the same type, similar mass, and place them each in different cups of water with varying acidity. After a week, I would measure their mass again (after they dried to avoid water mass) and record the data in a table.

I have been swimming for 11 years and I have grown up with the sport. I became interested with the nutritional component of being an swimmer this year and I hope that through my case study I can help the swimmers around me. Nutritional Timeline of Swimmers for Swim Meets The study that I went through the process of investigating dove into how an athletes nutritional diet can impact their performance. Throughout my study I chose to utilize a case study research method in order to carry out the investigation and to reach my conclusion. My study uses a sample pool of four swimmers who practice year around. This sample pool includes two females and two males as well as an appropriate representation of types of swimmers throughout my study. The rest of my abstract I intend to carry out in the near future and well update in early March. Through my results I concluded that both types of male swimmers benefit in their times from consuming a high amount of carbohydrates before their race. On the other hand I found mixed results with the female results. The sprint swimmer significantly improved their times when they ate a lot of carbohydrates. Whereas, the distance female swimmer did better when eating less food.

I enjoy deep research on topics, such as Palestine, politics, government, etc. The Impact of Human Rights Violations in Palestine on Palestinians in America The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a major foreign affair that has impacted millions around the world during the past 76 years. Within this time period, there have been a multitude of violations of human rights. Amnesty says that over the past 50 years, Israel has demolished more than 50,000 Palestinian homes. As human rights are being violated, I decided to research the question: To what extent does the disregard of human rights in Palestine affect Palestinians in the United States? In order to answer the question, I used a case study approach. Then I created a Google Form in which I asked a variety of questions. 20 individuals of Palestinian descent living in the United States answered a questionnaire inquiring about their point of view on human rights in Palestine. Numerous questions assessing their points of view regarding human rights in Palestine were asked. Both quantitative and qualitative responses were collected.

We have a deep passion for anesthesia and its evolving role in patient care. Our interest in dexmedetomidine stems from its ability to provide sedation while preserving respiratory function and offering neuroprotective benefits, making it a valuable tool in anesthesia management. With a strong commitment to advancing our knowledge and clinical skills, we aspire to contribute to the field of anesthesia by optimizing patient outcomes, particularly in complex surgical cases, through evidence-based practices and innovative approaches. Dexmedetomidine in neurosurgical spine procedures Due to its unique pharmacological properties, dexmedetomidine, a selective α2-adrenergic agonist, has gained significant attention in clinical practice. This literature review explores its role in neurosurgical spine surgeries, guided by the PICO question: Do adult patients undergoing neuroskeletal spine procedures (P) who receive perioperative dexmedetomidine (I), compared to those who do not (C), require less perioperative narcotics (O)? A total of six research articles were critically reviewed from CINAHL, PubMed, and Cochrane, including four systematic reviews and meta-analyses totaling 53 studies with 3,379 patients, and two randomized control trials with 172 patients. Four of the six studies provided strong statistical evidence (95% confidence intervals) that dexmedetomidine reduces PACU opioid consumption and postoperative pain intensity. Dexmedetomidine offers advantages such as stable hemodynamics, minimal respiratory depression, and reduced opioid requirements. Additionally, it has neuroprotective properties, reduces emergence delirium, and decreases shivering and postoperative nausea and vomiting. It facilitates smoother extubation and enhances postoperative outcomes. However, potential complications, including bradycardia and hypotension, require cautious administration. This quality improvement project aimed to present these findings to staff and encourage dexmedetomidine use in neurosurgical procedures. Despite successful collaboration with anesthesia staff, unforeseen bureaucratic hurdles delayed access to medication records, preventing the collection of required pre- and post-data. Nonetheless, this project highlights dexmedetomidine’s potential as a valuable adjunct in neurosurgical spine surgeries and the need for continued research and institutional support to optimize its use in clinical practice.

Do adult patients (P) undergoing surgery that receive a prophylactic eye lubricant (I) compared to those who do not (C) experience less corneal abrasions (O) Abstract
When a patient undergoes a surgical procedure requiring general anesthesia, they lose the ability to close the eyelids and protect their corneas. The corneal reflex for tear secretion is diminished during general anesthesia (Grixti et al., 2013). Constant rubbing of a dry and exposed cornea contributes to the development of corneal abrasions, which account for 35% of all ocular injuries, making them the most common type reported during the perioperative period (Moos & Lind, 2006). These abrasions are remarkably painful. Aside from the significant pain and inconvenience for the patient, there is an increase in health care cost, length of stay and resource use.
The following PICO question was used to conduct a literature search: Do adult patients (P) undergoing surgery that receive a prophylactic eye lubricant (I) compared to those who do not (C) experience less corneal abrasions (O)? The literature search yielded two systematic reviews and two randomized control trials. The evidence from these studies demonstrated that measures such as manual eye closure and prophylactic eye lubrication can prevent corneal abrasions. This project aimed to increase the use of carboxymethylcellulose, a water-based lubricant, in an anesthesia practice in Northeast Florida. A series of targeted interventions were implemented to encourage lubricant usage, including provider education, educational posters, and laminated reminders in the operating and procedure areas. After data collection, eye lubrication nearly doubled to 12.7% from 6.8% the previous month. There was an increased adoption of carboxymethylcellulose eye lubricant as a preventive measure against corneal abrasions.

Both students completed their clinical training in South Florida where they became interested in the optimal lidocaine dosing strategy for EGD procedures after seeing variations in practice between clinical sites and among different practitioners. Weight-Based Lidocaine Dosing Decreases Propofol Dose Required for Esophagogastroduodenoscopy Procedures Propofol is the most used agent to provide anesthesia for esophagoduodenoscopy (EGD) procedures. Side effects of propofol include pain on injection, hypotension, and apnea/upper airway obstruction (Hu et al., 2022). A small dose of lidocaine is commonly administered to prevent pain on propofol injection. However, lidocaine has sedative and analgesic properties of its own, and administering a 1.5 mg/kg dose of lidocaine reduces the induction dose and total dose of propofol required for EGDs.
The following PICO question was used: (P) Do adult patients undergoing propofol-based sedation EGD procedures, (I) that receive a 1.5mg/kg lidocaine bolus, (C) compared to those that receive less than 1.5mg/kg of lidocaine, (O) require less propofol?

Ketamine for Intraoperative Analgesia in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies This quality improvement project aimed to evaluate certified registered nurse anesthetists' (CRNAs) perspectives on ketamine use during laparoscopic cholecystectomies and examine the influence of evidence-based education on their clinical practice. A survey was distributed to CRNAs in one specific hospital location as the project's primary focus. The initial questionnaire explored current ketamine usage, concerns with its application, routine use of antiemetics to mitigate postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), confidence in ketamine's ability to reduce postoperative pain compared to other nonopioid analgesics, and whether evidence of ketamine's efficacy in reducing opioid use and enhancing pain control would influence their practice. Respondents were then presented with a synthesis of evidence highlighting ketamine's effectiveness as an alternative analgesic in this context. A follow-up survey assessed changes in their likelihood to incorporate ketamine into their practice. Findings from this project provide insights into CRNAs' perceptions of ketamine and the potential of evidence-based interventions to influence anesthesia practices aimed at improving postoperative outcomes. The survey results indicate that CRNAs recognize the potential benefits of ketamine as part of a multimodal analgesic plan but are also mindful of its unwanted side effects and practical challenges at their current workplace. However, after reviewing the provided evidence synthesis, most respondents expressed a greater willingness to integrate ketamine into their practice despite their previous utilization of ketamine.

However, many clinicians can struggle to maintain adequate mask ventilation. Studies have shown that administering midazolam before entering the operating room improves mask ventilation and improves placement of adjunct airways. This project was set in a hospital in central Florida. Flyers were attached to pyxis machines in each operating room, informing the certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) of difficult mask ventilation characteristics, the benefits of midazolam administration prior to induction of anesthesia, and the studies showing improvement in ventilation following midazolam administration. Data regarding the current pre-operative administration of midazolam, whether the CRNA has had trouble with mask ventilation, and whether the CRNA will increase their use of pre-operative administration, especially in patients with difficult mask ventilation characteristics via an anonymous survey was collected. This paper discusses the difficulty of mask ventilation and asks the question: do patients who receive midazolam for sedation and anxiolysis preoperatively, compared to those patients who do not, have less difficult mask ventilation issues?

I have grown up in the church and have been studying theology for most of my life. Homiletics and the First Great Awakening Looking at the Sermons of brilliant clergymen of the First Great Awakening I found that they all used an expository format but the ratio of Law and Gospel differed depending on the Sermons goal. Such as Jonathan Edwards sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is focused on condemning his congregations complacency in their sin, but other Sermons focused on the salvation provided by Jesus's death on the cross. However the importance of their Sermons to the spread of Awakening ideals is expansive as the development of Edwards ideas of correcting the complacency of his congregation spread throughout the American colonies and through George Whitfield spread to Europe.

The Jacksonian Age - Leadership of a Polarizing President Andrew Jackson is a prominent and polarizing figure in American history. Mostly known as the seventh President of the United States, Andrew Jackson held many leadership positions before his election to office. In a youth full of obstacles and hardships, Jackson overcame and persevered to become an influential figure in American politics.
Jackson's leadership, characterized by his bold and often controversial approach, has left a lasting impact on American political history. His leadership style was rooted in his populist beliefs, military background, and strong-willed personality. Known for his decisive actions, he expanded presidential powers and advocated for a stronger executive branch, significantly altering the power of the presidency. Jackson's rise to prominence was fueled by his success in the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812, which shaped his reputation as a national hero. His presidency saw the implementation of policies such as the Indian Removal Act, leading to the forced relocation of thousands of Native Americans, and the dismantling of the national bank, which he believed to be a corrupt institution favoring the elite. Jackson fiercely advocated for the common man, yet his policies also provoked criticism for their authoritarian undertones and disregard for certain groups’ rights. While Jackson remains a polarizing figure, his leadership undeniably reshaped the presidency and left an indelible mark on the development of the United States.

Emily Roebling - Leadership Analysis Systems engineers will address increased complexity and diversity of future systems. The infusion of systems thinking into complex system projects requires systems engineers to have technical and leadership competencies.

Research was conducted on Emily Roebling, an engineering leader whose success exemplified systems thinking and technical leadership in a complex engineering project. During the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, she played a pivotal role in overseeing its completion, effectively managing its technical and logistical challenges. Roebling applied systems thinking principles to the project, considering all interconnected components, coordinating across disciplines, managing stakeholder interfaces, and guiding teams toward optimal outcomes.

Emily Roebling’s contributions as a technical leader in systems engineering were evaluated through a leadership analysis. The findings were then compared with major studies on systems engineering leadership and additional research perspectives on leadership. The goal of this research is to assess how Roebling’s traits, behaviors, and attributes align with established perspectives on systems engineering leadership competencies.
