🚀 Launching "Basil's Regulatory Roundup: Annual Insights Across Panels" – our curated LinkedIn series that brings you the latest in FDA Clearance trends across each clinical review panel. We’re kicking off with an in-depth look at Anesthesiology. Here’s what the past year has revealed: 📈 Anesthesiology has seen a total of 105 510(k) clearances, 4 De Novo approvals, and a single PMA approval, supplemented by 27 PMA modifications. 🌟 Oximeters have led the charge with 17 clearances, highlighting their vital role in patient monitoring, followed by other key respiratory care devices like Nebulizers with 9 approvals, Humidifiers, and Oxygen Generators each with 8 clearances. 📊 See below for a monthly breakdown of review time from submission to clearance across the 105 clearances this past year - February 2023-2024. Through "Basil's Regulatory Roundup," we aim to provide a comprehensive snapshot of the regulatory landscape. All data is sourced from Basil Systems Regulatory module. Stay tuned for more insights as we explore other panels in our upcoming posts. #BasilSystems #Anesthesiology #MedicalDevice #FDAApproval #fdacleared #medtech #medicaladvancements #FDA #RegulatoryAffairs

Mastering IV cannulation is a skill that often separates experienced anesthesiology professionals from the rest. We've all seen the struggle firsthand - multiple attempts, frustrated colleagues, and anxious patients. It's clear that when it comes to securing an IV, anesthesiologists are often seen as the last hope. But here's the catch: despite the demand for this critical skill, most available resources are cumbersome textbooks that offer more theory than practical advice. That's why NYSORA is on the brink of a game-changer - a comprehensive IV manual packed with the insider tricks and tips that anesthesiology experts use to achieve success when all other attempts have failed. We're at a crossroads and need your insight: Is there a real demand for such a manual? And should we also feature an app that brings a boot-camp style array of techniques, tips, tricks, and clinical videos focusing on DIFFICULT PERIPHERAL IV ACCESS? Many thanks in advance for your thoughts! #IVCannulation #Anesthesiology #MedicalInnovation #NYSORA"

Want to know how JiffyStent helps reduce healthcare costs?👇 A study estimated the average cost of an OR-based ureteral stent placement under general anesthesia to be four times greater than outpatient stenting with local anesthesia. The factors behind this staggering cost difference are: • Higher operating room procedure costs • Higher anesthesiology charges • Post-anesthesia care unit charges for general anesthesia As a minimally invasive and speedy outpatient stent inserter, JiffyStent is poised to deliver significant cost savings to the patient and the healthcare system. Stay tuned to learn more. #Renalcare #Urology #kidneyhealth #kidneystones #MedTech #MedEd

OR-based ureteral stenting currently places significant costs on patients and the healthcare system for a number of reasons. With the ongoing development of JiffyStent, we have set out to alleviate these challenges by offering a simplified, safe, and effective solution. #JiffyStent #MedTech #KidneyStones #Urology #renalcare #healthcareinnovation

🌟 New Research Published in Canadian Journal of Discovery! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce the publication of a pivotal study comparing the clinical performance of the Guardian Laryngeal Mask Airway (G-LMA) with the Supreme Laryngeal Mask Airway (S-LMA). 📄 Title: Comparison of Clinical Performance of Guardian Laryngeal Mask Airway Versus Supreme Laryngeal Mask Airway 📝 Authors: Ajay Kumar Pajiyar, Amit Kumar Karna, Haiyun Wang, Lin Ma, Lumin Miao, Guolin Wang 📚 Journal Volume: 5(8), 1-10 🔗 DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.13275434 Key Insights: The G-LMA showed a higher airway sealing pressure compared to the S-LMA at 60 cmH2O cuff pressure. It required less air for cuff inflation. Both devices performed similarly in terms of insertion success rates, insertion times, and postoperative adverse events. This study highlights the G-LMA’s enhanced sealing capability while maintaining comparable safety and efficacy to the S-LMA. Dive into the full article to explore the detailed findings and implications for anesthesiology practice: Read the Full Article. We are proud to contribute valuable research to the medical community and look forward to your feedback! #CanadianJournalOfDiscovery #MedicalResearch #Anesthesiology #LaryngealMaskAirway #ClinicalPerformance #HealthcareInnovation #ResearchPublication

▶ What Drew You to Anesthesiology? I first thought that I wanted to do internal medicine. And then I found anesthesia, where you can do things, and then see the fruits of your labor. People are awake, they’re asleep. They’re in pain, then they’re not in pain. You can't ask for a more immediate impact on patient care than that. — Dr. Casey N.

Are you aware of the unsung heroes of the operating room? Let's shine a light on the indispensable field of anesthesiology. 🌟 Anesthesiology isn't just about putting patients to sleep for surgery; it's a complex medical specialty that ensures the safety, comfort, and well-being of individuals undergoing various procedures. As an anesthesiologist, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative impact this discipline has on patient outcomes. From administering different types of anesthesia - be it general, regional, or local - to closely monitoring vital signs throughout surgery, anesthesiologists play a pivotal role in every step of the perioperative process. Our expertise extends beyond the OR, encompassing critical care units, pain management clinics, and emergency departments, where we provide essential services for patients in need. As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, it's crucial to recognize the dedication and expertise of anesthesiologists in ensuring the smooth operation of medical procedures and the well-being of those under our care. Join me in celebrating the field of anesthesiology and honoring the tireless efforts of all those who contribute to this vital aspect of modern medicine. Together, let's continue to champion excellence in patient care and safety. #Anesthesiology #HealthcareHeroes #PatientSafety #MedicalExcellence
