Early Mobility: Part 3 If a team is unable to provide the full ABCDEF bundle, should they be allowed to care for intubated patients? Hear me out. We have requirements for certain services and programs to ensure safe and adequate care. We can’t have ECMO programs without profusionists or ECMO-trained RNs. We can’t treat trauma patients without trauma surgeons available. We can’t treat critical neuro patients without neuro intensivists. If an ICU can’t provide CRRT, the patient is sent somewhere that can. We know that the ABCDEF bundle is the key to safely treating patients on mechanical ventilation and getting them OFF the ventilator. It decreases 7-day mortality by 68%!!! Why are we allowed to intubate patients if we are not prepared to properly care for them and get them extubated? If a team is not able to provide early mobility to protect patients from iatrogenic and life-threatening complications such as delirium and ICU-acquired weakness, should they be caring for these patients?

We are proud to announce that the talented team of medical students, certified nurse anesthetists, anesthesia residents, and practicing anesthesiologists at Cooper University Health Care, NJ, USA, have made significant contributions to this essential guide. This comprehensive resource sheds light on the growing aging demographic and the associated healthcare costs. It discusses the anatomical and physiological changes in the geriatric population, offering insights into the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes that impact anesthesia care. Anesthesia care for COVID-19 geriatric patients is especially discussed in this book. This book is a valuable asset for all anesthesia providers aiming to enhance patient outcomes and reduce morbidity and mortality in geriatric patients. Join us in advancing geriatric anesthesia care! 🔗https://bit.ly/3WrUAkO #GeriatricAnesthesia #Healthcare #AnesthesiaCare #HealthcareInnovation #BenthamScience

An #MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is used to diagnose certain #diseases by creating cross-sectional images of the inside of the body using strong magnetic fields. Certain objects can significantly impair the image quality. Therefore, the SPIRAFLEX® MRI UNI CUFF is equipped with a plastic spiral to ensure the best possible results. ➡️ Read more: https://shorturl.at/bbrvW #medtech #tracheotomy #intensive #clinic #hospital #HNO #ENT #care #product #medicaldevice #medicaltechnology #medicine #productmanagement #Nurse #Healthcaremanagement #Intensive #Nursing #Therapy #Medicaltechnology #Doc #docs

Public education needed - here’s some real world insight into primary care ... Want to know why 34%-60% of women presenting with UTI are given antibiotics by GP prior to diagnosis? Here's a clue. Just been chatting with a GP Physician Associate at our local surgery; she tells me that women can get very aggressive if not given an immediate antibiotic for UTI symptoms even if the dip is negative. She also agrees that midstream is difficult to collect and takes too long to explain so rarely requested, yet diagnoses would be clearer with a decent MSU. Her view is that it may be difficult to get GPs on board with #peezymidstream as it is easier just to prescribe and clear waiting lists. And anyway pharmacists can prescribe immediately, so where's the guidance? Interestingly, she noted that retests add burden to GP lists ... but they go unnoticed. With AMR and GP workloads such massive issues, this is pretty depressing. Oh, and she gets so much grief from both GPs and patients for not being a Real GP, she wants to leave and go into medical sales. She was very very thorough and helpful for me today and an asset to the surgery. Take from that what you will. #GP #prescribing #uti #antibiotics #amr #msu #midstream #peezymidstream #dipstick #primarycare #pointofcare #urinecollection #urinescreening #prenatal #laboratory The Patients Association The King's Fund Nuffield Foundation Nuffield Trust Patients Know Best Royal College of General Practitioners We are Primary Care British Medical Association Health Innovation Network British In Vitro Diagnostics Association (BIVDA) Royal College of Pathologists (RCPath) NHS England NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) Pennine Healthcare Pd-m Quiddity Health SomX The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) Royal College of Physicians British Journal Of Medical and Health Research The Lancet Chris Whitehouse
