A comprehensive literature review was conducted to synthesize the pathophysiology, genetic basis, and pharmacokinetic impacts of cholinesterase deficiency on anesthetic drugs, and clinical case analyses were performed to validate perioperative management strategies. Genetic mutations such as BCHE c. 695T>A are the primary etiology, and butyrylcholinesterase deficiency is more prevalent and associated with significant anesthetic adverse events. The use of alternative anesthetic agents including non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers and amide-type local anesthetics, as well as reversal agents such as sugammadex, can significantly reduce perioperative risks. Multimodal monitoring including train-of-four and neurophysiologic monitoring and preoperative screening further optimize safety. Five clinical cases confirmed the efficacy of tailored strategies in diverse surgical settings. Proactive preoperative screening, cholinesterase-independent anesthetic regimens, and interdisciplinary collaboration are pivotal for mitigating risks in cholinesterase-deficient patients.

Within this model, physiotherapy services are designed to emphasize accessibility, continuity, and collaboration, with care provided across clinic, community, and home settings. To systematically document service delivery and outcomes, a prospective clinical registry was maintained from July 2022 to July 2024 in two phases across three rural clinics-Manpur, Ghated, and Bedawal. Service delivery challenges were analyzed using the three-delays framework, which considers barriers in recognizing the need for care, reaching care, and receiving adequate care. This approach highlights both obstacles to rehabilitation access and the solutions emerging from a community-anchored physiotherapy model.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Main findings: &lt;/strong&gt;Between June 2024 and July 2025, over 1000 physiotherapy encounters were documented.

Fragmented, specialist-centric health-seeking behaviour contributes to overcrowding, inefficient resource use, and poor continuity of care. Family medicine, as a comprehensive primary care discipline, offers a potential solution by integrating preventive, promotive, and curative services across the life course. To describe the conceptualisation, implementation, and functioning of a Family Medicine-led primary care practice model embedded within a tertiary care institution. A Family Medicine Outpatient Department (OPD) was established at AIIMS Rishikesh with a primary care orientation to serve as the first point of contact for patients presenting with common, chronic, and preventive health needs. The model was designed around the core principles of comprehensive, continuous, and coordinated care, with structured patient entry points, systematic baseline assessment, and a bidirectional referral mechanism linking family medicine with specialty departments. The practice also incorporated family- and community-oriented approaches through linkage with primary health centres and outreach services. More than 20,000 patients accessed the Family Medicine OPD, receiving longitudinal, family-centred care. The model enabled early risk identification, appropriate gatekeeping, and rational specialist referrals, with patients returning to family medicine for ongoing follow-up after specialised interventions. This approach improved continuity of care, reduced unnecessary specialist consultations, and optimised utilisation of tertiary care resources, while addressing biopsychosocial determinants of health. Embedding a Family Medicine-led primary care model within a tertiary care hospital is feasible and effective in addressing the dual challenges of overcrowding and fragmented care. This model demonstrates the potential of family medicine to function as a care continuum bridge between community-based primary care and tertiary services and offers a scalable framework for strengthening India's healthcare delivery system.</p>","PeriodicalId":15856,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care","volume":"15 5","pages":"2179-2182"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13387652/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148549255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
