Key result
The Safe Anaesthesia from Education course significantly improved median knowledge test scores among Kenyan non-physician anaesthetists from 41 at baseline to 43 at 3-6 month follow-up (p < 0.001).
Why the study?
Inadequate staff training contributes significantly to anaesthesia-related maternal deaths in low-middle income countries, prompting evaluation of the Safe Anaesthesia from Education course in Kenya.

Absolute Event Rate: 43% vs 41%
p-value: p=< 0.001
The Safe Anaesthesia from Education obstetric course significantly improves and sustains knowledge among non-physician anaesthetists in low-resource settings.
Lilaonitkul et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Obstetric anaesthesia training for non-physician anaesthetists (n=103). Safe Anaesthesia from Education course vs. Baseline (pre-course) was evaluated on Knowledge test score at 3-6 month follow-up (p=< 0.001). The Safe Anaesthesia from Education course significantly improved median knowledge test scores among Kenyan non-physician anaesthetists from 41 at baseline to 43 at 3-6 month follow-up (p < 0.001).
