To examine the supply of physician anesthesia providers necessary to accommodate the previously described clinical and non-clinical service volume needs throughout Canada. ⋯ Canada has a current shortage of anesthesiologists.

Comparative Study
Sciatic nerve block with bupivacaine-loaded microspheres prevents hyperalgesia in an inflammatory animal model.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different durations of local anesthetic neural blockade on hyperalgesia after carrageenan infiltration in a rat model. ⋯ B-Ms as a drug delivery system prolongs the duration of neural blockade and avoids hyperalgesia phenomena in this rat model of inflammation.
