Objective To evaluate the current situation of the design of the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in Clinical Anesthesiology, Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology and Chinese Journal of Pain Medicine from 1999 to September in 2003. Method The clinical therapeutic studies in the three journals from 1999 to September of 2003 were hand searched over page by page to identify strictly the randomized controlled trials according to Chinese Cochrane Center hand search guideline. Results 412, 378 and 142 papers of the three journals were published, among which, there were 237, 221 and 68 papers of RCT. Conclusions Although the quality of RCT in the three journals has been increased significantly year by year, but there still exist some problems. The quality of RCT papers needs more improvement to guarantee RCT to be more precise as it demands.
With the rapid development of anesthesiology, the demand for high-quality talents has increased, making it crucial to attract medical students with clinical medicine backgrounds to join the field. Therefore, the Department of Anesthesiology, West China Hospital/West China School of Medicine of Sichuan University has implemented the “Four-Early and Three-Entry” activity, which enables students to deepen their understanding of the discipline and enhance their knowledge and practical abilities. At the same time, it integrates Party building and ideological-political education to strengthen the cultivation of professional qualities and professional spirit. This article systematically summarizes the implementation experience of the “Four-Early and Three-Entry” model, analyzes its role in improving the understanding of anesthesiology, professional identity, and talent attraction, and provides a reference for optimizing anesthesiology education and promoting the sustainable development of the discipline.
