This document provides an overview of evidence-based practice (EBP) including its definition, importance, evolution, decision-making process, benefits, and misconceptions. It outlines a 5-step approach to EBP: formulating a question, finding evidence, appraising evidence, applying to practice while considering patient values, and evaluating effectiveness. Various resources and levels of evidence are also defined to help practitioners implement EBP and provide the highest quality, cost-effective care.
A 50-year-old man presented with 3 hours of central chest pain. Initial investigations revealed a blood pressure of 90/60 and a normal ECG. A CT angiogram showed an intimal tear and dissection in the aortic arch. The patient was transferred urgently for surgical repair of a type A aortic dissection. Aortic dissection is a tear in the aortic wall that can propagate and cause complications if not treated. Diagnosis is made through imaging like CT scans. Emergent management involves stabilizing the patient's blood pressure and transferring patients with type A dissections for surgical intervention.
1) Liver trauma is the second most common organ injured in blunt abdominal trauma and the most common injured in penetrating trauma, occurring in 1-8% of patients with multiple blunt trauma.
2) The liver is susceptible to injury due to its size, friable parenchyma, thin capsule, and fixed position near the ribs and spine.
3) Liver injuries are classified based on the mechanism of injury, type and degree of damage, localization within liver lobes/segments, and whether associated vessels or bile ducts are damaged. Grades I-II are minor injuries while Grades III-V require surgical intervention and Grade VI is incompatible with survival.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the current gold standard for surgical removal of the Gall bladder, particularly in benign pathologies. Hence, it is necessary to highlight some steps to accomplish this procedure successfully while avoiding pitfalls.

Ventral hernias occur when abdominal contents protrude through weaknesses in the abdominal wall. There are several types of ventral hernias classified by location and complexity. Examination involves evaluating for reducibility, tenderness, and signs of incarceration or strangulation. Treatment often involves surgical repair using sutures or mesh placement to reinforce the defect. Laparoscopic and open approaches are options depending on hernia characteristics.

Abdominal trauma: diagnosis and managementvinayakas4
1) Abdominal trauma is a major cause of death globally, especially in young adults, due to injuries from motor vehicle accidents. The abdomen has no bony protection and is vulnerable to hemorrhage from solid organs or sepsis from hollow viscus injuries.
2) Evaluation of abdominal trauma involves history, physical exam, focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST), and CT scan if stable. Unstable patients may require diagnostic peritoneal lavage or immediate exploratory laparotomy.
3) Management depends on injury type and hemodynamic stability. Nonoperative management is preferred for solid organ injuries while laparotomy is often needed for penetrating injuries or hemodynamically unstable patients to control bleeding.
ETHICAL ASPECTS OF ANESTHESIA CARE.pptxmamatabista4
This document discusses the ethical aspects of anesthesia care. It begins with definitions of key terms like anesthesia, analgesia, and anesthesiology. It then covers principles of medical ethics like nonmaleficence, autonomy, justice, and beneficence. Elements of informed consent are explained, including components of competence and when confidentiality can be broken. Issues around do-not-resuscitate orders, uncooperative patients, terminal sedation, and organ transplantation are discussed. Elements of negligence, duties of anesthesiologists, and types of damages are also summarized.
Evaluation of acute abdominal pain in the emergency department can be challenging as there are many possible diagnoses ranging from life-threatening to self-limiting conditions. A thorough history and physical exam is important to identify "red flags" that suggest serious underlying causes of pain such as sudden onset, maximal intensity pain or migration of pain. The physical exam focuses on vital signs, inspection of the abdomen, auscultation, percussion and gentle palpation to help localize the source of pain and identify signs of peritoneal irritation. Recognition of surgical or life-threatening causes is prioritized over establishing a firm diagnosis.
The document discusses the management of abdominal trauma and damage control surgery, outlining the diagnostic modalities, surgical procedures, and complications. It emphasizes the importance of early resuscitation, high clinical suspicion for intra-abdominal injuries, and the staged approach of damage control surgery to improve outcomes in severe trauma patients. The challenges facing trauma management in Pakistan are also summarized.
A 19-year-old male presented with a road traffic accident injury involving blunt trauma to the abdomen. On examination, he had signs of liver and possible bile duct injury. Imaging revealed a laceration in segments V, VI, and VII of the liver along with hemoperitoneum. The patient underwent surgery where buttress sutures were applied to the liver laceration and packing was done. Post-operatively, the patient developed a bile leak. ERCP revealed a lateral rent in the common bile duct, which was stented successfully. The patient's bile leak resolved and he was discharged four days later.
This document summarizes the current best practices for the management of incidental gallbladder cancer discovered after cholecystectomy. It reviews the available literature on pathology and staging, timing and type of re-resection, and the role of adjuvant therapies. The key findings are that early stage T1a cancers often do not require additional surgery and have a very low risk of recurrence. For T1b or higher cancers, preoperative imaging and restaging is recommended followed by extended resection with lymphadenectomy. While the optimal approach remains controversial, re-resection within 4-8 weeks of initial surgery tends to have the best outcomes. Adjuvant chemotherapy may provide a benefit for higher stage or node-positive cancers but requires
Management of polytraumatized patients focuses on organizing trauma teams and systems. The trauma team is assigned specific tasks to simultaneously address life-threatening injuries. A trauma system includes protocols like ATLS for managing multi-injured patients. ATLS emphasizes treating lethal injuries first through a primary survey addressing airway, breathing, circulation, disability and exposure. Secondary surveys then discover all other injuries to develop a definitive management plan. Proper triage also sorts patients by priority to maximize survival of the most severely injured.
1) Abdominal trauma is commonly encountered in the emergency department and can be challenging to diagnose due to subtle or delayed presentations of serious intra-abdominal injuries.
2) A thorough primary and secondary survey including vital signs monitoring, focused assessment with ultrasound, and diagnostic tests like CT scan are used to identify injuries.
3) Uncontrolled hemorrhage and sepsis are major causes of mortality, so prompt diagnosis and management of injuries is important to prevent complications.
The document discusses strategies for damage control resuscitation (DCR) in trauma patients with hemorrhage. It outlines the principles of DCR including balanced fluid resuscitation, hemostatic resuscitation with plasma and platelets, reversal of acidosis, rewarming, use of tranexamic acid and fibrinogen concentrates. The implementation of a massive transfusion protocol is also reviewed as an important part of the DCR approach to controlling hemorrhage and reversing trauma-induced coagulopathy in severely injured patients.
This document discusses the role of empathy in healthcare professionalism. It defines empathy as the ability to recognize and experience another person's feelings. Empathy is important for several reasons. It improves clinical outcomes for patients by reducing complications, improving control of conditions like diabetes, and reducing pain perceptions. It also increases patient satisfaction. However, empathy levels often decline during medical training as students are taught to be objective and not let emotions interfere. This can involve dehumanizing patients by reducing them to their illness or stripping away their uniqueness. The document argues empathy should be an essential part of professionalism in healthcare.
The document discusses various energy sources used in surgery including electrical, ultrasonic, argon beam, and laser energies. It provides details on electrosurgery modalities like electrocautery and electrosurgery. Newer advanced bipolar devices like Ligasure, Gyrus ACMI, and Enseal are described which provide vessel sealing through thermal coagulation. Ultrasonic devices like Harmonic scalpel use high frequency vibrations for vessel sealing and precise dissection. Other technologies discussed include argon beam coagulation, CUSA, microwave ablation, and radiosurgery. Patient safety considerations are highlighted for different energy sources.
This document discusses damage control resuscitation for hemorrhaging trauma patients. It begins by describing a case of a soldier with multiple severe injuries who arrived in hemorrhagic shock. It then outlines the principles of damage control resuscitation, including hypotensive resuscitation, hemostatic resuscitation to prevent coagulopathy, and aggressive bleeding control. The document reviews data from recent military conflicts showing improved outcomes with higher fresh frozen plasma to red blood cell transfusion ratios and the use of platelets and fresh whole blood for resuscitation.
Violence against doctors at their workplace is not a new phenomenon. However, in recent times, reports of doctors getting thrashed by patients and their relatives are making headlines around the world and are shared extensively on social media. Almost every doctor is worried about violence at his/her workplace, and very few doctors are trained to avoid or deal with such situations. This PPT aims to discuss the risk factors associated with violence against doctors and the possible steps at a personal, institutional, or policy level that are needed to mitigate such incidents.
Management of traumatic liver injuries can be either operative or non-operative. Non-operative management is now the standard of care for hemodynamically stable patients with blunt hepatic trauma. Complications may occur in 12-14% of non-operatively managed patients and include re-bleeding, biliary complications, abscesses, and thromboembolic diseases. Operative management is indicated for hemodynamically unstable patients or those with severe injuries requiring surgery. Temporary control of hemorrhage during surgery can be achieved through manual compression, perihepatic packing, or the Pringle maneuver.

Discussion of factors leading to increased frustration among Intensive Care Staff. A well known entity "BURNOUT SYNDROME" lecture to help establish the causes and to find solutions.
This study compared the efficacy of ketamine, clonidine, and a combination of ketamine-clonidine in preventing shivering following general anesthesia. 120 patients were divided into 4 groups receiving intravenous ketamine, clonidine, ketamine-clonidine combination, or placebo. Hemodynamic parameters, temperature, and shivering were monitored and compared intraoperatively and postoperatively. The results showed that the ketamine-clonidine combination had the most stable vital signs and lowest incidence of side effects like tachycardia, hypertension, hypotension, and nausea compared to the other groups. Therefore, the combination of ketamine and clonidine was recommended as the best treatment to prevent postoperative shivering.

The U.S. spends more on healthcare than any other country but ranks poorly on overall health outcomes. While emergency and crisis care is excellent, 99% of healthcare spending goes to chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes. The current model focuses on eliminating symptoms rather than achieving optimal health and function. Vertebral subluxations can reduce nervous system function and healing potential, yet are often not caused by pain or symptoms. Chiropractic aims to detect and correct subluxations through spinal adjustments to improve overall health and homeostasis.

1) A survey by the National Mental Health Association found that over half of Americans now recognize depression as a disease rather than a character flaw, though nearly a third still view it as a state of mind.
2) The survey also found that those with depression reported higher rates of unemployment and divorce than others.
3) While treatment is seen as effective, many people struggle to adhere to medication and psychotherapy regimens long-term. There is a gap between understanding the need for ongoing treatment and actually following through with it.

My research on psychological distress in health professionals unclosed tables...hidayat ullah
This document discusses psychological distress in health professionals and examines its relationship to prolonged and irregular duty hours. It begins by reviewing previous literature that found high levels of psychological distress in 28% of doctors, paramedics and nurses, compared to 18% in the general working population. The document then describes a study conducted with 75 health professionals in Pakistan that used the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale. The results found a significant association between psychological distress and long working hours in the health professionals. Specifically, likelihood ratio and Phi tests revealed a severe association between distress and working hours. The study supported the hypothesis that prolonged and irregular duty hours can lead to psychological distress in health professionals.
Here is how a sociologist-psychologist could treat a client with PTSD in talk therapy:
- Take a biopsychosocial approach that considers the client's psychological, social, and biological factors. Address their trauma experience in the context of their social environment and biology.
- Use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help the client learn to challenge and restructure traumatic thoughts and beliefs. This approach aims to change unhelpful thinking patterns.
- Incorporate sociological perspectives on trauma and mental health by discussing how social and cultural factors may influence the client's experience and recovery. Explore how systems of power, inequality, etc. impact well-being.
- Supplement talk therapy with mindfulness or
Burnout is a state of mental and physical exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. It is characterized by mental exhaustion, depersonalization, and a lack of career accomplishment. Nurses are particularly susceptible due to long shifts, heavy workloads, and emotional demands of caring for patients. Burnout can cause irritability, anxiety, insomnia, and other physiological and psychological symptoms if left unchecked. It negatively impacts nurses, patients, and healthcare organizations by increasing errors, absenteeism, and turnover. Reducing burnout requires addressing organizational factors like workload, control, and support as well as implementing self-care strategies for stress management.
How much do you know about the most prevalent diseases that affect us as Americans everyday? Do you know how to prevent them? How about what actions to take when you see someone suffereing from one, like a stroke of a heart attack? You don't need to be a doctor to know that these diseases are important and knowing some basic medical information can be nothing but beneficial.

It is one of the most common presentations of patients with urinary tract diseases and of patients referred for urinary imaging. Painless visible haematuria (VH) is the commonest presentation of bladder cancer.
CBDSs are one of the medical conditions leading to surgical intervention. They may occur in 3%–14.7% of all patients for whom cholecystectomies are preformed. When patients present with CBD, the one important question that should be answered: what is the best modality of treatment under the giving conditions? There are competing technologies and approaches for diagnosing CBDS with regard to diagnostic performance characteristics, technical success, safety, and cost effectiveness. Management of CBDS usually requires two separate teams: the gastroenterologist and the surgical team. One of the main factors in the management is initially the detection of CBDS, before, during, or after cholecystectomy. The main options for treatment are pre- or postoperative ERCP with endoscopic biliary sphincterotomy (EST), laparoscopic or open surgical bile duct clearance. There are other options for the treat- ment of CBDS such as electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL), extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL), dissolving solutions, and laser lithotripsy. It is unlikely that one option
will be appropriate for all clinical circumstances in all centers. Variables such as disease status, patient demographics, availability of endoscopic, radiological and surgical expertise, and healthcare economics will all have significant influence on practice
The incidence of biliary injury after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has shown a declining trend though it may still be twice that as with open cholecystectomy. Major biliary or vasculobiliary injury is associated with significant morbidity. As prevention is the best strategy, the concept of a culture of safe cholecystectomy has been recently introduced to educate surgeons and apprise them of basic tenets of safe performance of LC. Various aspects of safe cholecystectomy include: (1) thorough knowledge of relevant anatomy, various anatomical landmarks, and anatomical variations; (2) an understanding of the mechanisms involved in biliary/vascular injury, the most important being the misidentification injury; (3) identification of various preoperative and intraoperative predictors of difficult cholecystectomy; (4) proper gallbladder retraction; (5) safe use of various energy devices; (6) understanding the critical view of safety, including its doublet view and documentation; (7) awareness of various error traps (e.g., fundus first technique); (8) use of various bailout strategies (e.g., subtotal cholecystectomy) in difficult gallbladder cases; (9) use of intraoperative imaging techniques (e.g., intraoperative cholangiogram) to ascertain correct anatomy; and (10) understanding the concept of time-out. Surgeons should be facile with these aspects of this culture of safety in cholecystectomy in an attempt to reduce the incidence of biliary/vascular injury during LC.
Ageing, also spelled aging, is the process of becoming older. The term refers especially to human beings, many animals, and fungi, whereas for example bacteria, perennial plants and some simple animals are potentially immortal. In the broader sense, ageing can refer to single cells within an organism which have ceased dividing (cellular senescence) or to the population of a species (population ageing).
In humans, ageing represents the accumulation of changes in a human being over time,[1] encompassing physical, psychological, and social change. Reaction time, for example, may slow with age, while knowledge of world events and wisdom may expand. Ageing is among the greatest known risk factors for most human diseases:[2] of the roughly 150,000 people who die each day across the globe, about two thirds die from age-related causes.
The causes of ageing are uncertain; current theories are assigned to the damage concept, whereby the accumulation of damage (such as DNA oxidation) may cause biological systems to fail, or to the programmed ageing concept, whereby internal processes (such as DNA methylation) may cause ageing. Programmed ageing should not be confused with programmed cell death (apoptosis).
As we enter in the Modern day, we are witnessing dawn of the new trend in which closed body operating procedures are more often being performed through minimal access. This development is the consequence of vision and work of many dedicated individuals. They include early pioneers of endoscopy who planted the seed and lastly the current pioneers who pushed and expanded these frontiers to give rise the birth of modern laparoscopy. Therapeutic laparoscopic surgery was introduced into the surgical practice recently and within a short span of time, it has become established as defacto standard for the treatment of chronic cholelithiasis and many advanced laparoscopic procedures can be performed safely. Laparoscopic surgery, what we should witness today, may be the culmination of over a hundred years of painstaking efforts from the number of pioneers within the fields of optics, instrumentation and video laparoscopic camera. Few advances in medicine occur in isolation. The innate human curiosity to peer within the body cavities can be traced back to ancient times. However, due to primitive technology and crude instruments, several ambitions were not realized. It is probably safe to say that first laparoscopy would not have been performed had it not been for the efforts of many physicians in 1800s to develop endoscope. The device developed by Theodore Stein in mid 1880 contains all the aspects of the current endoscopic documentation system. There was a crude endoscope and a high intensity light source. Illumination was made by continuously feeding a magnesium wire into an ignition chamber utilizing a clockwise mechanism. Light from this combustion was reflected to the tube utilizing a mirror. Finally the look was focused on to some photographic plate through coupling optics.
Constipation refers to bowel movements that are infrequent or hard to pass. Constipation is a common cause of painful defecation. Severe constipation includes obstipation (failure to pass stools or gas) and fecal impaction, which can progress to bowel obstruction and become life-threatening.
Constipation is a symptom with many causes. These causes are of two types: obstructed defecation and colonic slow transit (or hypo mobility). About 50 percent of people evaluated for constipation at tertiary referral hospitals have obstructed defecation. This type of constipation has mechanical and functional causes. Causes of colonic slow transit constipation include diet, hormonal disorders such as hypothyroidism, side effects of medications, and rarely heavy metal toxicity. Because constipation is a symptom, not a disease, effective treatment of constipation may require first determining the cause. Treatments include changes in dietary habits, laxatives, enemas, biofeedback, and in particular situations surgery may be required.
Constipation is common; in the general population rates of constipation varies from 2–30 percent. In elderly people living in care homes the rate of constipation is 50–75 percent.[4] In the United States expenditures on medications for constipation are greater than US$250 million per year.
The definition of constipation includes the following:
infrequent bowel movements (typically three times or fewer per week)
difficulty during defecation (straining during more than 25% of bowel movements or a subjective sensation of hard stools; straining in this context is a strong effort to push out stool often by holding one's breath and by pushing the respective muscles in the abdominal area hard), or
the sensation of incomplete bowel evacuation.
The Rome III criteria are widely used to diagnose chronic constipation, and are helpful in separating cases of chronic functional constipation from less-serious instances.
Another definition states that less than three bowel movements per week and straining on more than 75% of occasions represents constipation in clinical surveys.
This document discusses laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) for the treatment of CBD stones. It outlines the advantages of the laparoscopic approach, including reduced costs, hospitalization and recovery time compared to open surgery. It describes the two main laparoscopic techniques for CBD stone removal - trans-cystic duct approach and laparoscopic choledochotomy. Key factors that determine technique selection include stone size and location, cystic/CBD duct anatomy and size, and surgeon skill. Standard port placements and step-by-step descriptions of each technique are provided. Complications are discussed. The document concludes with a brief overview of bilioenteric bypass indications and options.

Robotic Surgery means computer/ Robotic assisted surgery.
It was developed to overcome the limitations of MAS and to enhance the capabilities of surgeons performing open Surgery History of Robotic surgery
The first robot to assist in surgery was the Arthrobot, which was developed and used for the first time in Vancouver in 1983.[43] Intimately involved were biomedical engineer, Dr. James McEwen, Geof Auchinleck, a UBC engineering physics grad, and Dr. Brian Day as well as a team of engineering students. The robot was used in an orthopaedic surgical procedure on 12 March 1984, at the UBC Hospital in Vancouver.
Over 60 arthroscopic surgical procedures were performed in the first 12 months, and a 1985 National Geographic video on industrial robots, The Robotics Revolution, featured the device. Other related robotic devices developed at the same time included a surgical scrub nurse robot, which handed operative instruments on voice command, and a medical laboratory robotic arm. A YouTube video entitled Arthrobot illustrates some of these in operation .
Acute pancreatitis is a potentially lethal condition that requires careful treatment and management. It involves sudden inflammation of the pancreas that can lead to the release of digestive enzymes within the abdomen. These enzymes can damage normal tissues, especially fat, and cause inflammation. The document discusses definitions of acute pancreatitis and classifications based on severity. Mild cases involve only inflammation while more severe cases can lead to pancreatic necrosis and organ failure. Treatment depends on the classification and complications. The pathogenesis involves trypsinogen activation within pancreas cells leading to autodigestion and an inflammatory response.
Every upcoming surgeon practising minimal access surgery should know the basics of urology , so that he or she can put his or her,s capabilities as a surgeon
Wound dehiscence is a complication of surgery where the surgical incision ruptures or reopens. It can lead to evisceration of internal organs. Risk factors include obesity, diabetes, wound infection, and surgical factors like tension on the incision. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and drainage at the wound site. Treatment depends on the severity but may involve antibiotics, packing the wound, or re-suturing the incision. Negative pressure wound therapy can also be used to help close wounds at high risk of dehiscence. Preventing wound dehiscence requires proper surgical technique like layered closure with adequate suture length and tissue bites.
Laparoscopic Urologic surgery, is a part of the curriculum of Minimal Access Surgery, and requires lot of skills and patience. All new surgeons carrying out Basic Laparoscopic surgery should aim at also doing Lap. Urological surgeries, which has a steep learning curve, but with with excellent outcomes.
This document discusses bariatric surgery as a treatment for obesity, diabetes, and hypertension - known as the "dangerous triad". It outlines the obesity epidemic globally and in India. Bariatric surgery is presented as the most effective long-term treatment, as other options like diet, exercise, and medication often only achieve temporary weight loss. The document describes various bariatric surgical procedures and their mechanisms for weight loss and resolving comorbidities. Case studies are presented demonstrating successful weight loss and comorbidity resolution through bariatric surgery. Risks are low but include leaks, strictures, and potential for weight regain. A multidisciplinary team approach is emphasized for best outcomes.
This document discusses the pathophysiology of bariatric surgery. It notes that obesity is a global epidemic impacting over 1.7 billion people. Obesity is associated with numerous serious health conditions and comorbidities. Diet and pharmaceutical interventions have proven ineffective for treating severe or morbid obesity. The document outlines the various medical comorbidities of obesity including metabolic, mechanical, degenerative, neoplastic, and psychological conditions. It discusses the criteria for indicating bariatric surgery including BMI over 40 or over 35 with comorbidities. The goals and various procedures of bariatric surgery including restrictive, malabsorptive, and hybrid techniques are summarized.
This document discusses the pathophysiology of bariatric surgery. It notes that obesity is a global epidemic impacting over 1.7 billion people. Bariatric surgery is effective for weight loss and treating obesity-related comorbidities. The main procedures discussed are sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch. These work through restriction, malabsorption, or both. Gut hormones like ghrelin and GLP-1 play an important role in appetite and glucose regulation after surgery. The author also shares their experience performing various bariatric procedures in India.
What is MIS?
A minimally invasive medical procedure is defined as one that is carried out by entering the body through the skin or through a body cavity or anatomical opening, but with the smallest damage possible to these struct uresIncludes laparoscopic, endoscopic, and other approaches.
Why MIS?
Decreased patient pain
Decreased patient recovery period
Possible decrease in inflammatory response in the patient which may prove to have a better outcome in oncologic operations.
Distant future
In the distant future, there will be a para- digm shift with the development of non-inva- sive surgical techniques in combination with nanotechnologies and a new era in the devel- opment of surgery, and subsequently in surgi- cal techniques, will be opened.
Nanotechnology is an umbrella term for materials and devices that operate at the nanoskill (1 billionth of a meter). In terms of scale, a nanometer is approximately one 1/8000 of a human hair or 10 times the diam- eter of a hydrogen atom. The size of the device can vary but starts from a ten thou- sand-logic element system that will occupy a cube of no more than one hundred nanome- ters. This is a volume slightly larger than 0.001 cubic microns. This would be sufficient to hold a small computer. For example, if red blood cells are approximately eight microns in diameter, the 100 nanomicroprocessor will be 80 times smaller than a red blood cell. Devices this size could easily fit into the circulatory system and could even conceivably enter indi- vidual cells.
This document provides an overview of bariatric surgery in Odisha, India. It begins with definitions of bariatric surgery and classifications of BMI. It then discusses the comorbidities of obesity and guidelines for determining who is a suitable candidate for bariatric surgery. The document outlines various bariatric procedures including restrictive, malabsorptive, and combination procedures. It also discusses pre-op assessment, investigations, tools used in bariatric surgery, pathophysiology including the role of GI hormones, and videos demonstrating sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedures.

3. 1. What are the Overall professions with the highest
to lowest rate of depression.
2. Why do physicians have higher rates of depression
than the general population?
3. Which physicians specialty has the highest suicide
rate? Others?
4. How do most physicians commit suicide?
5. Which gender of physicians has the higher suicide
rate?
Some Questions you may be thinking of.
4. •Nearly 1 million people
worldwide commit suicide
•10 million - 20 million people
attempt suicide every year
•Incidence of suicide in
India (as per a Lancet study)
is the highest in the world.
•20% of the total suicides of
the world occur in India.
•By 2010 the figure had
reached 187,000 (with 40%
adolescents).

•Doctors have the highest rate of
suicide among all the
professions i.e. is 2-4% as
against only about 1-2% among
general population
•suicide rate among male and
female doctors is the same.
•Male physicians have a
70% higher suicide rate
than males in other
professions;
•and female physicians
have a 400% higher rate
than females in other
professions
5. It is estimated that on
average
400 Physicians
commit suicide a year in the
United States!
6. Physician Suicide
Positive:
– Physicians worldwide have
a lower mortality risk from
cancer and heart disease
relative to the general
population
– Physicians have decreased
smoking and other common
risk factors for early
mortality
* Source: Gagné P, Moamai J, Bourget D. Psychopathology and suicide among Quebec physicians: a nested case control study. Depress Res Treat.

Negative:
•Physicians are reluctant to address
depression, a significant cause of morbidity
and mortality that disproportionately affects
them.
•Significantly higher risk of dying from
suicide than the general population
•Among Medical Students: after accidents,
suicide is the most common cause of death.
To Note:
Suicide is usually a result of UNTREATED or INADEQUATELY TREATED DEPRESSION,
connected with knowledge of and access to lethal means*
7. • Physicians have a
higher rate of
completion than the
general population
• 1.4 – 2.3 times higher
• Interestingly Female
physicians attempt
suicide less than Males
BUT same completion
rate as males
• So they are more likely
to complete a suicide
making them 2.5 – 4
times more than the
general population.*

Burnout is a state of emotional,
mental, and physical exhaustion
caused by excessive and prolonged
stress.
It occurs when you feel
overwhelmed and unable to meet
constant demands. As the stress
continues, you begin to lose the
interest or motivation.
OR It is a chronic psychological
stress.

“Burnout is a syndrome made up
of emotional exhaustion,
depersonalization, and reduced
personal accomplishment “
(Beck1995)
“An emotional condition marked
by tiredness, loss of interest, or
frustration that interferes with job
performance. Burnout is usually
regarded as the result of
prolonged stress.”

24. Surgeons – The Heavyweights of the
Medical Profession 24
25. General Surgeons
582 surgeons who trained at the
University of Michigan–Ann Arbor,
32% showed high levels of emotional
exhaustion,
13% showed high levels of
depersonalization, and
4% showed evidence of a low sense of
personal accomplishment
An Australian studyof 126 surgeons
indicated that burnout levels were
significantly higher for surgeons than
for the normative population, with
47.6% of the sample reporting high
burnout levels
Another study10 of 501 colorectal and
vascular surgeons in the United
Kingdom showed that 32% had high
burnout on at least 1 subscale of the
Maslach Burnout Inventory.
25
Surgical Oncologists
549 members of the Society of Surgical
Oncology, 28% of respondents met the
criteria for burnout. In addition,
approximately30%of study participants
screened positive for depression
Transplantation Surgeons
Bertges and colleagues8 conducted a
survey of 209 actively practicing
transplantation surgeons. Burnout was
present in 38% of respondents
Head and Neck Surgeons
Johnson and colleagues11 conducted a
survey of 395 members of the American
Society of Head and Neck Surgery and the
Society of Head and Neck Surgeons in 1993.
A total of 34%whoresponded believed they
were“burned out
28. The Concept
of Burnout
• Burnout is a reaction to
chronic, job-related stress.
• “A literal collapse of the
human spirit” (Storlie
1979).
• “The loss of concern for
the people with whom one
is working”(Maslach 1976).
• “psychological withdrawal
from work in response to
excessive stress and
dissatisfaction” (Cherniss
1980).
29. Maslasch and Jackson, configured IT as a
three-dimensional syndrome
• absence or lack of
energy, enthusiasm
and a sense
of scarcity of
resources.
emotional and
physical exhaustion
• treating customers ,
colleagues and
the organization as
objects.
depersonalization
and dehumanization • a tendency of
workers to assess
themselves
negatively.
reduction of personal
fulfilment
29
30. Understanding
Burnout
• One of the most useful metaphors
to understand Physician Burnout is
a Bank Account. In this Bank is a
store of your Energy.
• In my experience, that energy
comes in three “flavors”
1.PHYSICAL ENERGY – your basic “get
up and go”
2.EMOTIONAL ENERGY –emotionally
available and compassionate
3.SPIRITUAL ENERGY –Purpose in your
work … Your “WHY”
30
The 3 Energetic
Bank Accounts
31. Understanding Burnout – The 3
Energetic Bank Accounts
• Every Single Day you work … there
is a withdrawal from this
Physical/Emotional/Spiritual
Energetic Bank Account.
• The amount of the withdrawal is
different from person to person
and day to day.
• Your job –Keep Your Energetic
Bank account in a Positive
Balance.
• Your life outside of medicine, your
health and your relationships
depend on it.
When your batteries run out,
the machine stops.
31
PHYSICIAN BURNOUT IS JUST
ANOTHER NAME FOR
A NEGATIVE BALANCE IN THESE
ACCOUNTS
•Work drains you beyond
your energetic, emotional and
spiritual reserves.
•You are unable to recharge
your account.
• You are overdrawn and it
hurts. You can feel it and your
colleagues and family can see
and feel it as well.
• In most cases you are a last
person to recognize your own
physical burnout.
32. When it comes to
Surgeon burnout …
they can operate for
a very long time on
a negative balance
in the accounts.

33. SURGEON Burnout – The Three
Symptoms
33
• you are dog-tired on one or more of the three levels –
Energy, Emotion, SpiritEXHAUSTION
• you have lost your ability to care, empathize, and
connect with your patients, staff and co-workers. You
may even blame, shame or demonize the very people
you are charged to care for – and feel guilty about it.
CYNICISM
•you may begin to doubt that your work really makes
any difference or question the quality of what you do
(this is a late and inconsistent symptom that is nearly
absent in men)
DOUBT
36. DEGREES OF BURNOUT

major physical and psychological breakdown
second degree
accelerated physical and emotional deterioration
first degree
failure to keep up and gradual loss of reality

40. Does Burnout Lead to Depression or Is It The
Other Way Around?
• Actually it can go both ways.
• Lets look at in terms of the Conservation of
Resources (COR) theory which is based on the
presence of downward spirals.
– Deficiency of resources in one area, which leads to
the exhaustion of resources in other areas.

burnout
OR
– Overburdened at work Physical and mental
exhaustion Accelerate symptoms of depression
