Katrina O’Con, DNAP, CRNA, was selected by her faculty to present her doctoral project at the 2016 American Association of Nurse Anesthetists Annual Congress held September 9-13 in Washington, D.C. Her project, “Pharmacological Methods for Prevention of Pruritus Caused by Intrathecal Opioids in Patients Undergoing Cesarean Delivery”, was presented and discussed over a two day period with CRNAs from all over the country. Itching is a common complaint of women receiving spinal blocks for a c-section. From her findings, Dr. O’Con and her partners at NRMC have been able to make their patients more comfortable and have seen a decrease in the number of complaints due to itching.
