![]() The current management plan for OP poisoning involves initial supportive therapy that includes decontamination, resuscitation (cardio and respiratory), and hemodialysis with subsequent rational pharmacological treatment. This chapter aims to explore the current therapeutic plan and its limitations while pondering recent advances in therapeutic regimen and delivery approaches for better therapeutic outcomes. The widespread exposure to OP through different routes (i.e., inhalation, dermal, and oral) is associated with a high prevalence of OP poisoning cases reported annually with an alarming fatality rate. Owing to their extensive uses, organophosphorus (OP) compounds present substantial risks to public health, especially during occupational exposure in agriculture, suicidal attempts by ingesting pesticides, or exposure during warfare (as neurotoxic agents). Discussions aimed at reformulating GME compensation that takes into consideration regional differences in cost of living are needed. Residency salaries vary significantly between surgical specialties and by region. Residency salaries have increased marginally from 2014-2015 to 2021-2022 and remain below the average US cost of living. ![]() The average total GME Medicare funding per resident increased significantly more than the average resident salary ($12,278 versus $4540, P < 0.001). The South and Midwest had significantly higher average resident salaries than the Northeast (P < 0.001) and West (P < 0.001) after adjusting for the cost of living. The average resident salary/cost of living ratio did not significantly change over the study period (2014-2015: 0.96, 2020-2021, 0.96, P = 0.654). Trends in residency salaries were also compared to the trends in graduate medical education (GME) Medicare funding. Salary by surgical specialty was collected from available years 2014-2015 to 2019-2020. ![]() Residency salary was analyzed over time, by region, and between surgical specialties both unadjusted and adjusted for cost of living. This is a retrospective study investigating the trends in US medical resident salaries from 2014-2015 to 2021-2022. We aimed to investigate the trends in surgical residents’ salaries across the nation and by region from 2014-2015 to 2021-2022 to identify areas for improvement in resident benefits and compensation.
