🔸 September is Pain Awareness Month 🔸 As interventional pain procedures rise in popularity, we’re seeing a troubling trend – particularly in physician-owned facilities where profit can sometimes take priority over patient safety. These procedures, such as spinal injections and nerve blocks, can lead to devastating spinal and brain injuries when safety protocols are ignored or shortcut. At Van Wey, Metzler & Williams, we are committed to holding healthcare providers accountable for their negligence. No one should have to suffer from preventable injuries caused by greed. We fight for justice to ensure that patient safety is always the top priority. Stay informed. Stay protected. #PainAwarenessMonth #PatientSafety #MedicalMalpractice

LEOBRAIN – Guideline-compliant sedation even in difficult situations   Overly deep sedation of ventilated patients is associated with a significantly longer ventilation period, increased incidence of pneumonia, higher incidence of delirium and increased length of hospitalisation. It is not always possible to determine the depth of sedation using scores such as the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale. LEOBRAIN permits continuous monitoring of the sedation depth even in the therapeutic prone position, in relaxed patients and under conditions of controlled hypothermia following resuscitation.Would you like to find out more about LEOBRAIN?
