Designing meaningful industry metrics for clinical productivity for anesthesiology departments.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Even though current perception threshold (CPT) has been used for evaluating the effectiveness of sensory block in patients before surgery, its reliability under controlled conditions has not been investigated. Two independent investigations were performed. The primary objective of the first study was to dete...
