Abstract
Local anesthetics are widely used in practice to control patients’ pain; however, local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) is a potentially fatal risk factor that may occur after local anesthetic administration. Evidence-based education for providers could prevent the deaths of patients by increasing knowledge of pathophysiology, identifying varying signs and symptoms of local anesthetic toxicity, and implementing timely treatment. This doctoral project created an evidence-based teaching plan to educate perioperative providers on how to identify and more effectively respond to LAST.
